Michael Phelps posed on the cover of Sports Illustrated with eight Olympic Gold metals. The cover is an re-creation of swimming legend, Mark Spitz with his seven gold metals taken in 1972. 8 is a small number compared to what he is reported to be lined up to make in endorsements.. take a deep breath .. $100 million bucks!!!
