After Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident, his wife Corinna had to make many sacrifices to support him. Personal or financial, the cost has been heavy over the past 10 years.
There is little information on the state of health of Michael Schumacher, but his relatives regularly give news, like his son Mick on social networks or a friend last February. The Formula 1 driver was victim of a skiing accident in Méribel in 2013. Since then, his wife Corinna protects the sportsman from the curiosity of the media and finds himself very isolated. Her husband was placed in an artificial coma, he had to undergo several surgeries and he is now recovering in his home in Gland, Switzerland. This 2,200 m2 house, on a 17-hectare estate, was built by the couple in 2004 but could escape them today.
According The Illustratedthe cost of Michael Schumacher’s convalescence would amount to 150,000 Swiss francs per week, or 137,000 euros. Once the best in his discipline, the pilot had a fortune of 1 billion dollars according to the magazine Forbes. But the cash inflows today are few.
