Michael Schumacher Gifted $7M Island By Crown Prince Of Dubai At Dubai World


As if his very public bromance with former Formula 1 driver, Michael Schumacher, wasn’t awkward enough already, Dubai’s crown prince Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has taken it up a notch. Apparently, after Schumacher completed his final Grand Prix at Interlagos, Sheik Makotoum presented Michael Schumacher with his own $7 million dollar private island. Located off the coast of Jumeirah, Dubai, Schumi’s plot of land is located on one of the many small, private island’s situated in a cluster known as “The World”. Created by real estate group, Al Nakheel Properties, all 300 of The World’s island’s have been specifically placed to resemble a map of the world when viewed from above. As indicated the photos below, Michael Schumacher’s little home-away-from-home rests in the balmy southern hemisphere atop of “Antarctica.”
So, I guess that $50 Auto Zone gift card the local track gave you for winning the amateur division two months ago is looking pretty lame right about now, huh?

May God bless the Japanese people!!!
