“Reminds Me of…”: Millionaire Mikaela Shiffrin Reveals Why She Cannot Let Go of a Wallet

Having $3 million, multiple titles, accolades, and great moments by your side, and still can’t go let off one wallet? Piques curiosity, doesn’t it? But there is a story behind it. Millionaire Mikaela Shiffrin is the lead narrator behind this tale. The queen of the skiing world, Shiffrin faced the heart-wrenching loss of her dearest family member back in 2020. That one accident took her father Jeff Shiffrin away from her.

The unexpected incident made Shiffrin step away from sports temporarily. However, with courage and to fulfill her dreams, she made a comeback to the slopes. Time and again, the legend reclaimed her top position and surpassed the legendary Ingemar Stenmark’s all-time winning record in 2023. While recent events in the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup saw Petra Vlhova taking the lead in the Giant Slalom, a fresh social media post showcasing Shiffrin’s story with a wallet made waves.

On 12th December, a new post from X breaks the internet. Shared by GQ Sports, the post features Shiffrin talking about various things and this clip mentions that a wallet is a part of the whole video.

In the video, Shiffrin adds, “Now we have my wallet, this was given to me by some of my friends back when we had the Celebration of Life for my dad and they engraved J.S.S., his initials, onto it and they were these little leather wallet purse things.”

With this, Shiffrin talks about the features of the purse, “Perfect credit card size and I decided that’s what I was gonna make this into and it just holds everything I need and it’s straightforward, and the zipper works amazing.“

Furthermore, she adds, “And it reminds me of my dad and I wrote, love you most on there because I’m cheesy, but it reminds me of him.”
