Already it is clear that Elvira makes the most money in the entire biathlon team and in total during the World Cup weeks she has earned as much as SEK 850,000 in pure prize money. Then another secret bonus from the Swedish biathlon association will be distributed.
– It is clear that it is fun and it is a prerequisite for me to live on the sport and devote myself to this hundred percent, she says in an interview with Expressen.
– I have no education, but I have elite athletes on my resume but otherwise nothing. This money will pay the rent, then it is enough for more than paying the rent. And it’s fun that it does, but at the same time there are no fantasy sums when compared to many other athletes that are the best in the world.
Elvira’s million rain
In terms of equity in one’s company, Elvira Öberg is still only second on the list in the biathlon team with SEK 7.8 million. One is still the big sister Hanna Öberg with 12.5 million and third on the list is Sebastian Samuelsson with SEK 7 million.
– That’s not why I’m doing this. It’s fun that I can feed on the sport and be a successful sports woman. Then it is great fun and something that I am very proud of. Because there are not so many who can say it, says Elvira in the interview.
– But the day I may be injured or the day I leave, then I do not have to decide the same second for what to do next.

However, Elvira Öberg is no one who wastes her earned money. The most expensive thing she owns is the biathlon rifle itself, which all riders have to pay for themselves.
Otherwise, she spends the most money on her accommodation in Östersund, which is an important aspect for her sports career.
– I don’t have the cheapest accommodation. I have nevertheless treated myself to a nice apartment near the stadium. It is my everyday luxury, I could definitely have lived cheaper in Östersund than I do. But I enjoy it very well where I live and think it is worth every penny, Elvira tells the evening newspaper.
