Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch To Become Therapy Camp For Molested Children? Lady Gaga Assists Project?

There is a possibility that the infamous Michael Jackson Neverland Ranch will be turned into a therapy camp for the benefit of molested children. Mirror reports that the Santa Barbara Country property is currently for sale and that a local businessman has already placed a bid amounting to $40 million.

According to Page Six, if the businessman will win the bidding, he will turn the 2,700-acre property into a useful facility.

"His goal is for the place to be used to help children in a serene setting recover from the trauma of sex abuse," said the report.

"The plan is to have children come there for treatment, and they will also hire trained therapists who would help the victims through the use of equine-assisted therapy, which works to improve the kids' self-esteem, and it helps them to become more outgoing," added the source.

Other interested bidders, on the other hand, wanted to turn the property into something that would resemble Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis. California officials also wanted to purchase the property but realized that the $75 million asking price was too steep.

An insider, however, believes that the winning bidder might have a difficulty in asking the Jackson family's permission to procure the late singer's possessions. Before he died, Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch featured an amusement park, a movie theater, and an arcade area. It's also the home of several animals including elephants, horses, snakes, llamas, and even a lion.

Despite the astounding number of interested bidders, the family is reportedly saddened that Jackson ended up losing the property.

Apart from businessmen, Lady Gaga also expressed her interest to restore Michael Jackson's Neverland property.

"Lady Gaga is obsessed with Michael," said one source to The Sun in 2013. "She's become good friends with his sister La Toya and would love more than anything else to restore Neverland to its original state."

"Gaga would love to help with the financial costs by buying a share," added the source.
