In the past ten years, there is a person who has spent 20 billion yuan to see a doctor, do you know who he is?
As you might have guessed, he was once a regular on sports news all over the world, an idol worshipped by countless people, a famous and wealthy man in world sports, and he was one of the greatest racing drivers in F1 history: Schumacher!
From the king to the hospital bed, the greatest driver in F1 is embarrassing
Michael Schumacher, who is considered the greatest driver in F1 history, was born in Germany in 1969 and is 55 years old this year. Who would have thought that such a great racer has been lying in a hospital bed for more than ten years, and looking back on the past, it is really embarrassing!
Why is Schumacher the greatest racing driver?
That's because he has achieved something unprecedented, and at present, there is no one to come! In the first 16 years of Schumacher's career, he broke almost every record, winning a total of seven annual Formula 1 championships. This record is currently only caught by Hamilton.
Not only that, Schumacher also won the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award twice in 2002 and 2004, and the other two-time winner was Lionel Messi. It shows Schumacher's dominance in the field of motorsports and his greatness.
In 2012, Schumacher announced his retirement from the F1 sport he loved. Now that I think about it, if he had retired a year late, there might not have been today's tragedy. In the second year after retiring, a huge disaster befell the car king Schumacher.
In addition to being a professional Formula 1 athlete, Schumacher also has another sport that he is very passionate about: skiing.
Unexpectedly, it was because of this hobby that Schumacher, the king of cars, was pushed to the brink of death!
On December 29, 2013, the first anniversary of Schumacher's retirement, he and his friends made an appointment to go skiing in the French Alps together.
However, while skiing, Schumacher had a serious accident and hit his head on the hard rock of the Alpine ski slopes. Schumacher lost consciousness on the spot. Fans who saw the news of Schumacher's injury on TV would never have imagined that their idol would never be able to drive or stand up again!
Schumacher, who fell into a deep coma, was rushed to the hospital, and after the craniotomy, although he finally survived, he saved his life!
However, some top brain experts in European hospitals believe that the possibility of Schumacher regaining consciousness is very low, and there is a great possibility that he will survive in a vegetative state for a long time in the future!
Schumacher's wife, Corinna, was completely unacceptable to this result. The words of these top brain doctors undoubtedly sentenced Schumacher to death!
After that, Schumacher was in a coma for a long time, and his body was full of tubes, and he could only rely on these tubes every day to consume basic calories to sustain his life. European brain experts also recommend euthanasia for the car king Schumacher, because Schumacher's injuries are so serious that there is almost no possibility of recovery.
However, his wife, Corinna, firmly believes that her husband will definitely wake up. resolutely refused to let the car king Schumacher euthanasia, she also said: "Even if you sell all your family property, you must wake up your husband!"
It spent more than 90 million yuan to build a high-end ward at home, and spent more than 2 billion yuan in ten years
After three months of treatment in the hospital, Schumacher was sent home, and his wife Corinna spent 10 million pounds, converted into more than 90 million yuan, to build a high-class ward for Schumacher at home.
How advanced is this ward? It is equipped with a professional medical team of 15 people, supervised by medical staff 24 hours a day, and the cost of treatment is a terrifying $139,000 per week, which is astronomical for the average person!
In this way, after five years of continuous treatment, in December 2018, the king of the car Schumacher woke up from a coma.
However, Schumacher still has difficulty communicating in words, but his condition has improved greatly compared to when he was first unconscious, and he no longer needs to be intubated to maintain his life. His wife Corinna's love and perseverance finally kept the clouds open and the moon brightened.
In the past ten years that Schumacher has been bedridden, although there is a professional and top-level medical team, he has spent huge medical expenses and targeted treatment. However, his physical condition was very bad, his height dropped from 1.74 meters to 1.6 meters, and his weight dropped to 45 kilograms!
Schumacher's wife, Corinna, announced that she would soon auction off eight of Schumacher's treasured watches for treatment
Schumacher's cumulative career earnings reached 1.13 billion US dollars, and his net worth at the time of his injury was as high as 650 million euros, equivalent to 5 billion yuan.
In the past ten years, Schumacher's treatment costs have been terrifying, and when converted into RMB, it has exceeded 20 billion!
However, the 2 billion was not all Schumacher's money. Why?
Because, although Schumacher has a huge fortune, unfortunately, according to German law, the money in Schumacher's personal account cannot be withdrawn without his signature, even if it is his wife!
Unless Schumacher dies, this wealth can be inherited in the form of an inheritance by his wife Corinna and his children.
In other words, if his wife Corinna chooses to give up treatment, she can get this wealth worth 5 billion yuan.
But if she didn't give up, not only would she not get the money in Schumacher's account, but she would have to raise money for her husband's treatment. How did Corinna choose?
It's clear that Corinna has made a choice that has shocked the world in the past ten years, and that is to never give up!
For more than a decade, Corinna sold the wealth they shared with the couple, such as real estate, airplanes, etc., and Schumacher's jet plane worth $30 million was sold.
In addition, Corinna also worked hard to run various business projects left by Schumacher to support the high cost of medical care.
According to the statistics of relevant people, the medical expenses of the car king Schumacher have already exceeded 2 billion yuan! Over the years, I really don't know how Corinna has survived? What a great woman and a great wife!
On April 19 this year, Klina decided to auction off Schumacher's eight watches through consultation with all parties, and use the wealth from the auction to continue to save her husband.
Among the eight watches is a one-of-a-kind platinum watch, custom-made for Schumacher by the former Ferrari CEO, with an estimate of between $1.2 million and $2 million.
In addition, there is a bespoke watch engraved with his six titles. It is said that the total value of these eight watches is about 4 million US dollars, that is, about 29 million yuan.
From Schumacher, the car king with unlimited scenery and numerous honors, to a vegetative person who has been bedridden for more than ten years. Schumacher's experience is really embarrassing. As for his wife, she stayed by his side and never left him for more than ten years. This kind of persistence, this kind of love, everyone in the world is moved!
I sincerely hope that a miracle can come and allow Schumacher to gradually return to normal. However, some Schumacher fans said: "Sometimes Schumacher should be given dignity so that he can leave with dignity, maybe hanging him like this now is a kind of torture for him." #头条创作挑战赛#
