It then sold in December 2020 to billionaire Ron Burkle (in an off-market deal) for a considerably lower price of $22 million.

While Michael Jackson’s former home (and the rest of the structures he used for entertainment) may get all the attention, it’s important to remember that the ranch spans about 2,700 acres.

With the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland bringing new horrific stories to light, it’s time for this estate to find a story more worthy of its beauty.
