GALERIE FOTO: În 1980, Michael Jackson a introdus Neverland, ferma sa de 2.700 de acri, într-un program agricol. Ce au descoperit autoritățile, însă, în 2003

Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch benefited from a California agricultural conservation program, reducing taxes. However, authorities discovered unauthorized constructions, leading to the removal of 70 acres from the program and increased taxes. The case highlighted issues with using protected agricultural land for entertainment facilities. Jackson's property, which included a theme park and zoo, was partially agricultural, qualifying for tax breaks under the Williamson Act. In 2003, local authorities voted to exclude parts of Neverland from the conservation program, resulting in significant tax savings for Jackson. The ranch faced financial troubles, leading to foreclosure in 2008, and was later sold in 2020.
