Posted on August 19, 2008 (Tammy)
Michael Phelps, featured on the Aug 25, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated, is being dubbed as the greatest Olympian ever.
Flaunting his record breaking 8 gold medals (previous record was 7 gold’s at the 1972 Munich Olympics by Mark Spitz) on the cover, his agent Peter Carlishe was asked what it meant to Phelps to have 8 Olympic gold medals to his name. he said that those medals will earn Phelps around $100 Million in the course of his lifetime.
Though that is a whole boatload of cash, Phelps is not about to stop any time soon. In fact, next week instead of joining the Closing ceremonies, Michael will be traveling to London to join the turnover ceremonies for the 2012 London Olympics and start preparing for the next Olympics.
