Michael Schumacher built an astonishing amount of wealth thanks to his legendary Formula One career. After years of living in privacy following his horrific skiing crash , the German racing hero was recently seen publicly for the first time in over a decade. Schumacher was present at his daughter's wedding, much to the delight of his fans who have been desperately awaiting updates on his health for years.
The icon's illustrious F1 career spanned from 1991 to 2006, during which he raced for Benetton and Ferrari , before making a comeback to drive for Mercedes between 2010 and 2012. He clinched the world championship a record seven times - a feat only equalled by Sir Lewis Hamilton . But tragedy would befall Schumacher when, only a year after retiring, in December 2013, he sustained serious head injuries during a family skiing holiday in the French Alps, hitting a boulder just metres off-piste and being thrown head-first into another rock.
He was put in a medically induced coma for six months before regaining consciousness in June 2014 and being taken home for further recovery later that year. The 55-year-old sporting hero suffered brain damage and has since stayed out of the public eye, with the exception of his daughter Gina-Marie's wedding last Saturday. Gina tied the knot with her partner Iain Bethke at the family's £27million villa in Majorca, where guests were reportedly allowed to see Schumacher but were asked to leave their mobile phones at the door.
