Michael Jackson said in 2005 (during his trial) that he would not return to the property, saying he no longer considered the ranch a home, feeling the 70 police officers had "violated" it in their searches. In 2006, the facilities were closed and most of the staff were dismissed, with a spokesperson stating that this was the reflection of the fact that Jackson no longer lived there. On November 10, 2008, Jackson transferred the title to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company, LLC, and neighbors reported immediate activity on the property, including the amusement rides being trucked along the highway. Jackson still owned an unknown stake in the property, since Sycamore Valley Ranch was a joint venture between Jackson (represented by McMillan) and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC (an investment company run by billionaire Tom Barrack). The Santa Barbara Assessor's Office stated Jackson sold an unknown proportion of his property rights for $35 million.
No, not completely, it's a bit more complicated than that!
Foreclosure proceedings commenced against Neverland Ranch on October 22, 2007. A spokesperson for Michael Jackson said that the loan was merely being refinanced.
On February 25, 2008, Jackson received word from Financial Title Company, the trustee, that unless he paid off $24,525,906.61 by March 19, a public auction would go forward of the land, buildings, and other items such as the rides, trains, and art.
On March 13, 2008, Michael Jackson's lawyer L. Londell McMillan announced that a private agreement had been reached with the private investment group, Fortress Investment, to save Jackson's ownership of the ranch. Before the agreement, Jackson owed three months' arrears on the property. McMillan did not reveal the details of the deal.
On May 12, 2008, a foreclosure auction for the ranch was canceled after an investment company, Colony Capital LLC, purchased the loan, which was in default. In a press release, Michael stated, "I am pleased with recent developments involving Neverland Ranch and I am in discussions with Colony and Tom Barrack with regard to the Ranch and other matters that would allow me to focus on the future."

No, he had Neverland Ranch which had a funfair, but it was in no way comparable to what Disney World is either in scale or design.
MICHAEL JACKSON used to own Neverland Ranch he owns a house in Las Vegas and rented the house in Los Angeles were he died :(
He purchased it from golf course entrepreneur William Bone in 1988.
I'll say he had two houses living in his life. 1.) When he was little he lived at an usual house. 2.) And When he grew up, He was a Star = Lots of Money. So he bought a GIANT House.
yes YOU ARE NOT ALONE.=R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON!=

Famously, Michael Jackson owned the sprawling Neverland Ranch. He was later accused of molesting young boys who came to stay at his home.
Neverland a magic place where all was made with Michael's imagination a place that he dreamed when he was still a child and every child dream to go one day.Michael made the park on his own property and people don't respect him :( sad and the most sad thing is that Neverland is in terrible condition now.

Michael Jackson is dead, he won't be doing anything with it. The people who own it now also won't be doing anything with it, it needs too much repair work done so it's not safe for people to be there.
He purchased it from golf course entrepreneur William Bone in 1988.
he built neverland because he wanted his own amusment park and he wanted to make it like peter pan
Neverland is owned by Tom Barrack who is head of Colony Capital LLC. The Holmby Hills Mansion he was renting when he died is owned by an unknown person who is currently trying to sell it.

They are "famous" because they are Michael Jackson's parents, they are not famous in their own right.
Michael Jackson started his own career when he was 15
