After watching his video blog, i learn that jon olsson has a lamborghini gallardo among other super cars including a 1000 horsepower ultimea and a mad suped up beamer. How can a skier afford this stuff? even with being the superstar that jon is, i don't get it.

I remember seeing on here that candide makes like €400,000 a year and gallardos are only like $160,000. Makes sense to me.

ahren theres no way he gets 4 mill a year. heads a big company, but they can't dish out that much for one athlete. at least not a skier.

i have a feeling a millionaire doesn't use mutual funds. they wouldn't just hand their money over to a portfolio like that, they would hire a money manager or something, and go through step by step...

I can almost guarantee you he cannot afford a Monaco citizenship. And I still have trouble believing he's got the kind of money to own a 1-bedroom apartment there (would cost close to 1 million euros). If he manages to afford to own a place there just for tax benefits, I am even more curious about his assets, because you need shitloads of money to make use of tax benefits. Hell, my mother was born in Monaco and doesn't have citizenship there.
So my hypothesis is that his family is quite wealthy and he benefited from it. He must be a smart investor too, and he's an awesome skier, but I don't believe all that wealth can come from there.
