Naked skier got $1,300,000

Or so I´ve heard.
Haven´t been able to verify if it´s true..

If he got $1.3 million for hanging upside down for 15 min (why didn´t he pull himself up?) and got that money that means he made pretty much $100.000 a min while hanging upside down. Screw that!
If that was in Sweden he´d get a free skipass for life, maybe $5,000 and one week free at a resort.

With $1.3 mill you could almost retire (not in So Cal though).
