The mystery and rehabilitation of Michael Schumacher
Since the fateful skiing accident he suffered in 2013, Michael Schumacher’s life has been surrounded by uncertainty and pain. Her family has kept the details of her health strictly private, fueling speculation and rumours. However, some details about the expensive treatments received by the ex-pilot have come to light, revealing millions of figures that have shocked the world.
The cost of Michael Schumacher’s medical treatment
It is estimated that the seven-time champion’s family invests around seven million euros annually in the ex-pilot’s medical care. This colossal sum goes to the staff, the equipment and the medical treatment of the pilot, to ensure his well-being. In addition, these expenses also include the private security that safeguards the privacy of the family, which has been almost obsessive for all these years.
The sale of properties and other assets
To cover these exorbitant expenses, the Schumacher family has been forced to sell part of the ex-pilot’s fortune. They have reportedly sold some properties, including the house on Lake Leman in Geneva and a private jet, for a total sum of 25 million pounds, equivalent to about 32 million dollars. They are also said to have recently sold eight watches that belonged to the pilot for around $4.25 million.
The accident and the long rehabilitation
Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident on December 29, 2013 shocked the motoring world. After hitting his head on a rock while skiing off-piste, he was rushed to hospital and put into a life-saving coma. He remained in a coma for six months before waking up in June 2014.
After awakening, Schumacher faced a long and complex rehabilitation process. Although he has managed to regain some basic functions, his health is still delicate and information about his progress is kept strictly confidential.
