Michael Schumacher: the astronomical cost of his care, 11 years after his skiing accident

How is Michael Schumacher really doing? Only members of a very restricted circle can answer this question, which has fueled numerous debates for more than 11 years.

Since then, many gray areas have surrounded his state of health. The former champion's close family, notably his wife Corinna and his former manager Sabine Kehm, maintain extreme discretion.

However, we know that Michael Schumacher suffered very serious after-effects, that he remained in a coma for several months, and that his mobility was greatly reduced. We also know that his various residences have been transformed into hospital rooms due to his condition, which requires extensive care. Treatments that have a cost.

So, according to The RepublicItalian daily, “Schumi”'s care would cost around 7 million euros per year, a total of 77 million euros over the last 11 years. This same Italian press, citing British colleagues, indicated in 2016 an even higher amount of 10.2 million per year.

On this Friday, January 3, Michael Schumacher celebrates his 56th birthday. He is also preparing, next April, to become a grandfather: his daughter Gina-Maria recently announced that she is expecting her first child.
