In terms of prize money, it was the ladies outshone the men this, as last, season. Lindsey Vonn not only collected a record number of globes and wins this season, she also pocketed almost half a million Swiss francs. Second ranked was Maria Riesch who also earned more than 350'000 Swiss francs in prize money alone.
On the men's Didier Cuche lead the list ahead of the overall World Cup winner Carlo Janka. Cuche, the title winner and five-time World Cup winner netted 334 850 francs, nearly twice as much as last year. Carlo Janka, who won six races increased his earnings to 305 673 francs, six times last year's figures.Audi FIS Ski World Cup Prize Money, Season 2009/2010
