[Saba Sports News] Seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher suffered a skiing accident in 2013, resulting in severe brain damage. He remains in a coma with no signs of waking up. Since then, Schumacher has been receiving professional medical treatment and care. Due to the Schumacher family’s strong commitment to privacy, only limited details about Schumacher’s specific health condition are known to the public. Recently, Italy’s Corriere della Sera broke the news that since the skiing accident in 2013, Schumacher’s medical expenses have surpassed 70 million euros. These expenses primarily cover professional medical equipment, medications, and round-the-clock nursing services. To cope with the annual financial burden of approximately 7 million euros, Schumacher’s wife, Corinna Schumacher, has taken various financial measures, such as selling high-value assets like private jets, luxury watches, and a holiday villa in Norway. Some car enthusiasts recalled that the Schumacher family previously won a lawsuit against a German magazine that used artificial intelligence technology to fabricate an interview with Schumacher. The court ruled that the magazine must pay 200,000 euros in compensation to the Schumacher family. Now, Corriere della Sera has revealed Schumacher’s medical expenses, and it is expected that the Schumacher family will take further legal action.
