Corinna, wife of former Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, sold various family assets to finance her husband’s treatment, who suffered a serious skiing accident in 2013 and has not been seen in public since then.
The decision to sell the family’s vacation home in Norway and the private jet resulted in a significant sum, approximately $31.73 million, allocated towards the pilot’s recovery.
The pilot’s accident, seven-time Formula 1 champion, occurred in December 2013 while skiing in the French Alps. Schumacher hit his head on a rock and has required intensive care since then.
Corinna had to take on the family’s financial responsibilities, selling properties to cover the treatment, which is estimated at over $7.40 million per year. The sale of the mansion in Gland, Switzerland, for approximately $63.73 million in 2021, was another measure to ensure financial resources.
Currently, Schumacher resides in a mansion in Mallorca, Spain, called Villa Yasmín, acquired by Corinna in 2018. Little is known about the property, but it features a main residence, two smaller houses, pools, gym, large garden, and helipad.
The couple’s son, Mick Schumacher, followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a pilot with his mother’s support. Currently, he competes as a reserve pilot for the Mercedes team, after racing for Haas.
