He has won the Formula One world driver's championship seven times (1994, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004). Schumacher is also one of the highest paid athletes of all time.

At the peak of his career, he was paid $10 million per year by Shell to wear a hat with the company's logo at nearly all public appearances. His career spanned from 1991 to 2006 with Jordan Benetton, and Ferrari. In 2010 he announced a comeback with Mercedes GP.

That journey ultimately leads to a great history.
