Recently, I have been wondering who is the highest paid athlete in the skiing world. I really Have no idea how to ballpark an estimate, nor do I have any point of reference.

Also, I am curious as to how the salary might be broken down. Certain percentages going toward travel stipends, contest winning bonuses, etc.

Marcel Hirscher (6x overall wc winner and likely best tech skier in history for all ya park rats), shifrin, bode, and Lindsey vonn all make or made way more than any freeskier... but I’d say gus, candide, or Tom wallisch make good money. I’ve heard it’s becoming harder to make money as a pro as fewer guys are taking a larger percentage of the total money paid out to freeskiers. I’ve also heard that some of the Olympic corporate contracts are nuts since they are only a specific few conpanies that can pay athletes.

Net Worth 40 million, okay I know he made his money on the tech side.

I would say Bode in his prime was the highest paid skier ever.

Freeskiers it has to be Candide


Yep.. candide would be on like 500K + a year from Faction this would include travel budget, and a % of every ski sold with his name on it.. they have 3 skis that are Candide pro models

topdollarSince Marcel Hirscher is the highest paid athlete in the world, he’s probably also the highest paid skier.

https://en.mediamass.net/people/marcel-hirscher/highest-paid.html


I'm assuming this must be satire?!

"The Australian athlete has an estimated net worth of $145 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Hirscher Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Salzburg Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderhirscher - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Marcel) and a fashion line called “Marcel Hirscher Seduction”."
