He revealed: "Most of our existing partners will stay with us, and we will also be working on the next super deals."
Personal sponsors DVAG, Shell and Omega have already renewed their deals with 37-year-old Schumacher.
The Sunday newspaper also reckoned that, even from his mansion in countryside Switzerland, Schumacher could earn more in 2007 - up to $26 million in total - than his brother Ralf, World Champion Fernando Alonso and Ferrari replacement Kimi Raikkonen.
His total fortune has reportedly surpassed $800m.
Let's see: his F1 career lasted for 15 years. $800m divided by 15 equals about $53m. He will have 247 races under his belt, which translates into $3.2m per race. Mind you, during his first, what? 5 years, he didn't earn that much, thus realistically, the bulk of his money was earned during the last 10 years in roughly 170 races. It's just insane! And apparently there's no end in sight, so the $1b mark is not out of the question.
