26-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin is a global sporting sensation. However, the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 have not gone very well for her so far.
Shiffrin has seen two disqualifications in the slalom and giant slalom events owing to consecutive crashes. Nevertheless, she is looking forward and confident about the rest of her events.
Being the youngest American ski racer to claim a national alpine crown, Shiffrin has always been in the limelight. Thus, with a national and (subsequent) global limelight also come brand endorsements and deals which sustain athletes.

She became the global brand ambassador for apparel giant Adidas in 2019. Moreover, among her other sponsorships are brands like Visa, Bose Audio, IKON Pass, and Barilla. Additionally, she is also partners with British SUV-making giants Land Rover and more recently, Grubhub.
The major source of Mikaela Shiffrin’s earnings is her ski racing. Thus, with all her brand endorsements, documentary features, and earnings from her sporting achievements, her net worth is an estimated $3 million.
What is particularly impressive for Shiffrin to have landed big-name partnerships is the fact that endorsement deals are often scarce for Olympians. In fact, only the best of Olympians, who excel not just at the sport, but also exhibit clear qualities of being worldwide icons, land endorsements with industry giants.
How much does she earn every year?
According to estimates, Mikaela Shiffrin earns over $500,00 every year. That roughly translates to the Olympian raking in over $40,000 every single month.
Shiffrin has a whopping eleven World Cup season titles with three overall titles to her name. The rest of her World Cup titles come from slalom, super-G, and giant slalom events.
Furthermore, she also has a remarkable four slalom championship titles in the World Championship. Another World Championship title for Mikaela Shiffrin comes from the super-G event in 2019.
