Gwyneth Paltrow has emerged victorious in her ski crash trial against Terry Sanderson, with new research showing the win has been good for business.
The case caught attention from people across the globe and "sent the internet into a frenzy", with the trial causing a surge in online searches for the actress' lifestyle brand Goop.
Searches for "skiing trips" have also skyrocketed as a result of the explosive trial.
Paltrow had been accused by Terry Sanderson of skiing "out of control" when she hit him at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, in 2016.
However, a judge ruled in favour of Paltrow after a jury took just two hours to return a verdict in favour of the Hollywood actress. She was awarded compensatory damages of one dollar.
