“What is the value of eight golds in Beijing before a prime-time audience in the U.S?” WSJ asked Peter Carlisle, Phelps’ agent “I’d say $100 million over the course of his lifetime.”

Carlisle confessed that Phelps has been getting about 50 offers a day including bubblehead dolls, acrylic paintings, commemorative coins, car rims, tuxedos, and dog food ideas. The last one was pitched, given Mr. Phelps’s well-known love for his British bulldog, Herman.
