In terms of prize money, it was the ladies that outshone the men again 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 Maria Riesch also earned more than 350'000 Swiss francs in prize money alone.

On the men's side, Didier Cuche leads the list ahead of the overall World Cup winner Carlo Janka. Cuche, the downhill title winner and five-time World Cup race winner this season netted 334 850 francs, nearly twice as much as last year. Carlo Janka, who won the overall title and six individual races, increased his earnings to 305 673 francs, six times his last year's figures.
