There is still little news about the health of former Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher. What is certain, however, is that the sportsman made a lot of money when he was still driving cars.
Having moved from the Benetton formula, with which he became world champion in 1994 and 1995, to the legendary Scuderia Ferrari, with which he won four titles from 2000 to 2004, Michael Schumacher succeeded in becoming seven times world champion in Formula 1 with 94 Grand Prix wins.
A success that allowed him to build up a nice fortune estimated at more than 900 million dollars according to X-Wealth. In addition to having a colossal fortune, Mick’s father, who is trying to find a place like his father in the Haas team, earned between 5 and 10 million dollars a year!
A nine-figure fortune for Michael Schumacher
When he signed his first contract with Ferrari, the legendary driver gave fans of the sport a hard time. According to Liberation, the contract was worth between 120 and 130 million francs per year.
Which today represents between 24 and 27 million euros per month. A colossal salary for the time. But when he extended his contract with the Scuderia in 1998, the pilot signed a salary of 123 million dollars over three years.

According to Forbes, the calculation of Michael Schumacher’s 21-year career allows him to reach a gigantic sum estimated at 947 million euros.
Unfortunately, at present, no one knows if he will really be able to benefit from it… Knowing that his state of health remains more mysterious than ever since his skiing accident in 2013.

Corinna Schumacher is not used to blurting out anything. The mystery surrounding the state of health of Michael Schumacher since December 2013 is obviously the best example. Communication around the seven-time world champion is tightly controlled, and the very few people allowed to visit the former F1 driver must remain in the nails.
Ms Schumacher’s reaction last week at an awards ceremony in North Rhine-Westphalia honoring her husband was all the more surprising. As the audience rose to a standing ovation, Corinna Schumacher broke down in tears, overcome with emotion. A logical reaction according to Jean Todt, who was also present.
Michael Schumacher, the news!
It’s natural. Nobody expected it to be so emotional and for Corinna to shed tears, but sometimes it’s good not to control yourself, said the former FIA president.
The Frenchman also mentioned the state of health of his former pilot. I don’t miss Michael, I can see that. But of course what I miss is what we were doing together, he told German broadcaster NTV, adding: It’s true that I watch F1 races with him. And the former boss of the Ferrari team returned to the strong bond which unites him to the Schumacher clan.
If that was emotional for you, you can imagine how emotional it was for me. Moving, but at the same time a great pride to be able to talk about Michael. You have people around you who are just special. And in a way, Michael is also very special. Corinna, Mick and Gina also became special to me. They have all become a family for me, for my wife and for my son.
