THIS IS INCORRECT - Michael Schumacher ranked second wealthiest sportsman in the world

SHOUD READ - Michael Schumacher 'the machine'....
This guy set standards way beyond all the other drivers. His own standards are tough on himself. There was a great interview years ago with Rolf and this was mentioned. Personally I really think he deservers what he's paid. What he did for Ferrari not only in F1 but the company today really is big time. Aside that, his technical savy, skill level and discipline lowers the Earnhardts of racing 'circles' to disgrace.

Strange, I love it. He's obviously tried to build something thats fits with the vernacular of the rural architectual style in the part of Switzerland (Jura) where he lives. If you shrank that house about 90 percent, it would look just like any other in the area. I think he has done a great job using "farmhouse" architecture to build a mansion. It complements the landscape and also reflects his modest roots. Your normal Swiss multimillionaire would have built a garish Louis XIX style palazzo with gargoyles and fountains. I really admire his restraint.
