| Michael Schumacher Given An Island By Dubai Prince |
Dubai's Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum presented this island to the "Formula 1" seven-time champion Michael Schumacher in 2007. Its cost is estimated at around 4.5 million euros.
Michael Schumacher received an unique and unprecedented parting gift after his last Grand Prix in Brazil -- an island.
Dubai's crown prince - Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum - reportedly decided to give the retiring German a piece of the man-made island paradise 'The World', located off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
'The World' is 300 islands clustered together in a nine kilometre zone to resemble Earth from an aerial photo.
Schumacher's island, apparently part of 'Antarctica' on the artificial globe, is worth about (US) $7 million.
Schumacher's manager Willi Weber confirmed: "In a couple of years it will be finished. Then Michael and Corinna will have their own holiday island!
"Perhaps he will build a race car track on it."
