Michael Phelps Goes for Gold in Online Poker

Michael Phelps, as you might expect, is a fairly rich man. After winning 22 medals over the course of three Olympic games, his earnings total about $45 million and endorsements could push that number up in the wake of the star swimmer’s retirement from the sport.

Phelps’ competitive edge has shown up in his personal life as well, as the athlete is apparently quite the poker fan. When he first started playing, Phelps began working with the $1/$2 level tables but now buys in to a weekly $25,000 game.
