Mikaela Shiffrin isn’t just the world’s most decorated alpine skier ever: She also owns the record for most prize money in a single season, with $1.04 million.

The 28-year-old, who set the record on Sunday, says she doesn’t plan to blow her earnings on sports cars or a flashy stock. Instead, she patterns her money strategy after Warren Buffett.

“My strategy for the money I’ve earned is to save and invest,” Shiffrin tells CNBC Make It. “I’m not necessarily playing the market on a daily basis, but I come from a Warren Buffett strategy. So, keep it diversified and ride the waves, which there have been a lot of lately, and make sure to save well.”

Buffett, the longtime CEO and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway — whose net worth is currently $103.4 billion, according to Forbes — has stood by this investment strategy for years.

In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders last year, Buffett wrote that investors shouldn’t waste time finding the perfect time to buy. Instead, buy stock if you believe in the company, and don’t be afraid to buy more when the price falls or sell when it’s high.

American Mikaela Shiffrin now sits alone atop the mountain of the greatest skiers of all time after her record-breaking 87th World Cup victory on Saturday. A day earlier, she had tied the longtime record for men and women held by Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark, who competed in the 1970s and 1980s.

Shiffrin has made 246 career World Cup starts. She set the record in a slalom event in Are, Sweden, where she captured her first World Cup victory in 2012. Saturday also marked 12 years to the day since her World Cup debut as a 15-year-old. Slalom is her strongest event and the discipline for 53 of her wins.

She had already locked up her fifth world championship and now has 13 World Cup wins this winter. Italy’s Sofia Goggia, with five, is the only other skier with more than two victories. Shiffrin holds the single-season record with 17 wins during the 2018-19 season. She will finish her year at next week’s World Cup Finals.
