If Tuohy goes sub 4 and sub 15 outdoors, she should go pro.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the 27yo GOAT skiing racer, makes $3M. The numbers drop off like a cliff for lesser mortals. Shiffrin has won (88) more World Class races than any other superstar racer, living or dead!

Someone is drastically underestimating this number based on popularity of world cup skiing circuit in USA: low, and the prize money payout for ski races: peanuts like diamond league track.

But skiing is huge on tv in Europe, she's a Serena Williams level star there and she is useful in the 75-100 countries where skiing is relevant. Also has very high likability factor. With Visa, Barilla,. Atomic Skis, Longines, Oakley, Adidas etc., she's now making $10 million plus annually.

She volunteered the $3M number on the air in a televised interview during the Beijing Olympics. Perhaps your numbers are off…

This was the someone I was referring to, as I saw this on the web, but I'm 100% sure it's wrong, or at least not current. Adidas just ran Shiffrin ads in 30+ countries, and Barilla in 10+, so that's minimum $1mil each for just those 2 campaigns. Federer signed w/Barilla for $40 mil over 10 yrs. Shiffrin is in her 11th year w/Barilla now and is currently their global lead woman (the old Steffi Graf role). I would imagine given her loyalty, longevity and current peak, her deal is the same or close to Fed's.

Sorry to burst your bubble but no one, Harvard or no starts at $300K, even at the Ph.D. or better yet, dual Ph.D./MD level. I graduated near top of my class from a global top 10 school and starting salaries are nothing like what the public thinks.

She made 964k swiss frans this year in prize money . That a million bucks. That 515 number is probably prize money from some year. Forbes has her at 3 million in endorsements.

Course we are talking about a dominant athlete in a popular sport..

I just double checked this to be sure, but the 3 famous high paying starting jobs all currently have a remarkably similar package for top undergrads. Management consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), Wall St Analyst (Goldman, Morgan Stanley) and Wall St Quant Trading (Jain Street, Susquehanna). Package is $192,000 start salary plus annual bonus. Also relocation bonus, signing bonus, and some help paying student loans can be in there. Shockingly, this can get to almost $300k in yr 1.

If you stay on plan $500k 5 yrs out. $1 mil 10 yrs out.
