He's done pretty well for a man who starts his day eating three fried-egg sandwiches filled with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and mayonnaise. Oh, and don't forget the two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, three chocolate-chip pancakes and a bowl of grits.

Michael Phelps won't be appearing on box of Wheaties anytime soon with a diet like that, but the US swimmer will have no trouble getting other endorsement deals after winning a record 8 gold medals at the 2008 Olympics (and that's in addition to the 6 other gold medals he won at the last Olympics).

And the payday could be huge. Phelps currently takes in about $5 million a year from nine sponsorship deals with the likes of Speedo, Visa, and Kellogg's. The eight golds he just won are worth another $50 to $100 million in purse money.

We only wish he's swim in a smaller bikini brief; those new Speedo's make us sad. Check out the great Olympian after the jump ...

The 70's porn moustache makes its triumphant return!

The new Speedo even comes with a built in rudder.

Mmmmm, tail!

Hey, he's already got an 8 inch head start!
