Michael Schumacher | $11.6 Million | Lake Geneva
When it comes to legendary racing drivers, you can’t ignore Michael Schumacher. The German, who raced in Formula 1 for teams like Mercedes, Ferrari, Jordan, and Benetton, cemented his legendary status with seven World Championship titles. The secret to his success wasn’t just his driving ability, but also his meticulous attention to every technical detail. Before every race, he’d meticulously check every component of his car – from the electronics to the exhaust – to make sure it was in optimal condition when he hit the track.
This attention to detail also extended to his real estate investments. In 2002, Schumacher bought a magnificent property called “Sur Le Moulin” on Lake Geneva for around $4.13 million. Years later, the property was resold for a whopping $11.6 million. The buyer not only got a secluded, idyllic location, but also a huge 20,000 square meter plot that includes an impressive farmhouse.
