Newsweek said that kid was pulling in about $5 million a year from Visa endorsements alone after his win in Athens and that was 4 yrs ago. Now how much he making off them?

I don't know what Phelps is making these days but I know it's more than I'll ever make in my lifetime!

Yeah it's a bad commercial but then again I think all of Verizon's commercials lately are horrible too.

No matter how much he makes. He doesn't have to worry about a thing. But lets face it, that's how advertisement works.

That guy will be raking in so much $$$$$$ the next few years he will never have to swim another lap again if he doesn't want to.
What are his plans for the next Olympics? If I were him I would get out while I am on top and retire. Live off endorsements. No reason to risk being the #1 top dog in the game. The last thing he wants to do is screw it up and do bad the next time around.Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

I thought the Verizon ads were cute. Oh what a nice tanned strong body that boy has!
