OBERHOFEN, Switzerland – Mikaela Shiffrin earned a record $885,000 in prize money during the World Cup ski season.
Shiffrin’s 17 victories – the most ever in a season – gave her at least double the amount of the next highest earner on the women’s circuit. Petra Vlhova was second with $427,000.
Marcel Hirscher, who won a record-extending eighth straight overall World Cup title, topped the men’s list with $564,000.
Shiffrin won the women’s overall title for the third consecutive year.
World Cup organizers typically pay $44,950 for a win. Prize money is paid down to 30th place, which usually earns $499.
