Michael Phelps – Swimming
Michael Phelps really needs no introduction, he’s a living Olympic legend. He has earned a whopping 28 Olympic medals, 23 of which are gold, during four separate Olympics from 2004 to 2016. Phelps is married to the former Miss California Nicole Johnson and the two had their first son in 2016. It’s safe to say, he’s enjoying retirement!
