Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch sold to Pittsburgh Penguins co-owner Ron Burkle
The property formerly known as Neverland Ranch, home to the late Michael Jackson, has been purchased by Pittsburgh Penguins co-owner Ron Burkle, Burkle’s spokesman confirmed to CNN Saturday.
Burkle is also the co-founder of Yucaipa Companies, an investment firm.
Neverland Ranch named after the fictional “Neverland” in the tale of Peter Pan, the boy who could never grow up was purchased by Jackson in 1987 for $19.5 million.
The 2,700-acre estate once contained 22 structures, including an amusement house and a zoo which housed elephants, a giraffe, orangutans, and Jackson’s chimp Bubbles.

The incident happened at approximately 10:30 p.m. near the 300 block of East Wardlow Road, according to a release from the Long Beach Police Department. The car was traveling eastbound on Wardlow when it struck the pedestrian who allegedly was not in a crosswalk.
The victim, who has yet to be identified, was treated at the scene by Long Beach Fire Department personnel before being transported to a local hospital where she later died, say authorities.
A 65-year-old Long Beach woman was identified as the driver. The release from LBPD said the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers who determined that alcohol, drugs or distracted driving did not factor into the accident.
