Thank you for posting
This man is so wonderful. I am happy that sick animals are being tended there. Warms my heart. I'm starting to think Michael should be buried in Neverland under the giving tree. Forest Lawn is too damn cold for a man who was so heartwarming like Michael Jackson. Just saying.
These are more pics of Nimer's. The place is gorgeous no longer abandoned
I think Michael would appreciate it.
thanks
^^ The Michael Jackson Estate _ Michael owned interest in the property still
MJ received $$$ and kept part interest in the property when he sold it.
sorry what does that mean? Is neverland still in hand of michaels kids a part? Who is the owner? and did he buy it from michael or what is the story? Sorry i dont know it
Amazing it is partly restored. I hope it will fully restore, didnt michael say before his death that some great things were comming at a party and also neverland would be like a graceland????
qbee;3560919 said:I dont think Michael wanted to live there again but I believe he did have future plans for it. He was trying his best to hold on to it. He refinanced the property several time but it was going into bankruptsy and Tom Barack offered him a deal and bought it from Michael. Michael was paid upfront but also kept a percentage of interest meaning he still owned a right in Neverland and had a part ownership of the property. The MJ Estate now owns that Interest in Neverland so yes Neverland is still part owned by MJ's children.
I went to Neverland last year but only was able to be outside the front gate like everyone else. If what what Frank wrote in his book is true and comes to fruition then I certainly would want to go inside the gates and see the property. Perhaps having a few things on display to reflect Michael's legacy would be great. Having seen the area where the ranch is located I'm not sure it would be accepted to have something like Graceland; too much traffic for the residents. The road to the ranch travels near other ranches and in close proximity initially, but it does open up after a couple miles or so. So perhaps (and someone else posted this thought somewhere on the forum; maybe in this thread. I can't see as I'm writing this via my phone) there can be a staging area where people can drive to, park their vehicles and catch a tour bus to the ranch. That would limit the traffic and keep a more controlled handle on the number of people going through. I believe it was said that this is somewhat how it is handled at Graceland. I could be incorrect in my statement as I have never been.
