Ferrari Mailing List: FW: Strange But True...A gift for Michael Schumacher

[Brian Keegan (bkeegan]

Has anyone heard about this?


 
    
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 kart track on it."
