GC is slow so I figured i'd post this another Phelps article: Source Site Yeah so now with his record 8-gold medals from the Beijing olympics, everyone wants a piece of Phelps... lol. But seriously he's an amazing athlete, and I thought this was sort of funny. Thoughts?
ouch! i think they were pissed at him for not telling them anything so they put in that momma's boy part
I heard he's also a billionare because of the olympics. The gold medals are made of gold in the front and white jade in the back that the amount on the back of each medal is worth 200,000$.
He's definitely not a billionaire already. He got a million from Speedo for the 7 medals, but he doesn't have a billion. Obviously he is richer because of the Olympics, and it set him up to get a lot more money later, he doesn't have that much already.
yeah lots of athletic company's are paying him and of course he's going to get a ton from promotional deals. all in all i think that the system is working for once because he's being awarded for year and years of hard work.
