Now complete with the first stop of the 2012 FINA World Cup series in Dubai, it’s clear who the star of this year’s series will be: Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu, who has already cleared $11,000 on the strength of 7 individual victories in 8 races so far.
The second-closest money winner, and highest scoring man, is Japan’s Daiya Seto, with $4,500 in cash, where he’s tied with Sweden’s Therese Alshammar and Hungary’s Zsu Jakabos.
(Keep in mind that these are *earnings* but not necessarily *winnings*. Athletes can decline money (for example, to retain NCAA eligibility) and would not receive them if they missed the medal ceremony).
The highest-ranking American is Anthony Ervin, who after winning the 50 free and placing 2nd in the 100 has earned $2,500. That puts him in a tie for 15th on the money tables (note that the overall series is scored and ranked on a different basis than money).
