2 Two ranches: These are probably due to his wife Corinna’s love for horses and equestrian sport, as the two of them have also acquired a ranch in the US state of Texas, on which they breed quarter horses. With the joint ranch in Switzerland, they were able to gain their first experience in the management and maintenance of a ranch. Corinna Schumacher is primarily responsible for both ranches.

3 In addition, he owns a Chalet in the French alpine town of Méribel. The place is located on an excellent ski area, which is mainly visited by celebrities who also own real estate in Méribel. With his high fortune, one or the other property could be added in the future.

If you are looking for a direct comparison to reigning Formula 1 drivers in terms of salary, you only have to remember that Sebastian Vettel, currently the most successful Formula 1 driver, only earns a fraction of what Schumacher earned in his heyday at Scuderia.
