A generous donation by Schumacher

Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher has donated 10 million dollars to the victims of last week's Asian tsunamis, his manager Willi Weber said during a German telethon on Tuesday.

"The dawning of the New Year has not been as joyful for us this year because of the catastrophe in Asia. We sympathise with the victims in their grief," Schumacher said.

The death toll from the massive December 26 earthquake and resulting tidal waves around the Indian Ocean neared 146,000 Tuesday.

Sandra Bullock donated $1million dollars.

I know Bill Gates through his foundation has donated $3 million and microsoft plans to match employee donations. Michael Dell donated $3 million as well.

Schumi kinda puts these rich guys to shame huh?

Michael Schumacher despite devoting most of his time to F1 to remain the best driver there has ever been also donates money and time to numerous charities. He often takes part in celebrity football matches etc.

Thumbs up to Schuey, a top rate guy.

Paradorn rated 27th in the world tennis player ranking donates 10,000 baht.

I was never keen on Schuey but watching him over the past few years and seeing the work that he does the guy deserves to be knighted.

Top man Schuey.

Dave, a German knighted? Sir Michael Schumacher????

But anyway, yes he has shown great generosity!

[RDN]

Yeah, well done Schuey. I never liked his "on-track" antics, but this more than compensates. What a great lead for other super-rich people to follow

I was gonna put the german equivelent to knighthood (whatever that is?)

[astral]

Michael Von Schumacher..........?

He puts some countries to shame!!

[ratcatcher]

Has anyone discovered if the mega-rich billionaires in the Shinawatra family have donated any money to the funds being gathered to help victims of this massive disaster. Surely Paetongtarn and Pantongtae can open up their Louis Vuitton wallets and assist. After the generosity of His Majesty The King and others of the Royal Family surely they should be moved to action?

Mr Schumacher just went up in my estimation for his generosity and sensitivity. Well done Michael.

Make Michael a Baron!

Sandra Bullock donated a million US as well as Leonardo DeCaprio (undisclosed sum)

[RDN]

I just found out that he's worth about $560 million. So now he's worth only $550 mil. 'Nuff said.

[britmaveric]

Apparently Michael lost his body guard in Phuket!

[rainman]

George Bush donated $10,000 from his private money. Nothing compared to Schumacher's $10M.

[sbk]

Worse yet is Bill Gates paltry 3 million. The man is richer than most nations and all he can manage is 3 million?

Yes, and the poor man's two children, I believe. Very sad - it just goes to show how popular Phuket is with people from all walks of life. You never know who you might be sitting next to on the beach.

So Schuey is worth $560 million and gives $10 million = 1.8 %

Bill Gates is worth $46 billion and gives $3 million = 0.0065 %

George Bush has been valued at somewhere between $9 and $26 million, so his donation of $10,000 = 0.038 % to 0.11 %

Mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
