Charitable Schumacher
There is more to Michael Schumacher than meets the eye: According to Business F1, the seven-time world champion has given away $50 million over the last four years. The Ferrari driver's discreet generosity was unearthed in German public records, which reveal he has quietly funded hospitals in Bosnia, orphanages in Peru, and schools in Senegal. He also has paid out $5.6 million in his role as a UNESCO goodwill ambassador and was the biggest private donor to the Asian tsunami relief fund, contributing $10 million.

How much does he makes in a year?
Any Body know if he owns other business. F1 it self can't make him that rich.. He must be dealing with weapons hehehe.. Kidding.
The amount of money he donates is mind blowing. Thank you MSC..
Now can I have a go in your 2006 F1 car please..

Wow what a guy 
I often hear people speak about him earning so much and not given anything to charity, this proves the opposite like I always said!
Great driver, bigger heart!

Nice story. It's good to hear that some people can donate without expecting press coverage. And for all those that jump the gun and assume he didn't donate...they can kiss his ass now.

I heard that the sum is closer to 100million. Compared with his incomes, 50 million isn't all that much, however I don't know of many people who give equally large donations to charity.

Not to mention that when he nd his wife die, 95% of his bank account will go to their foundation, not their kids.
