Michael Phelps Doesn't Need Your $5,000,000

We still have no conclusive evidence that explains the Michael Phelps Phenomenon—after all, he is just a swimmer—but perhaps our esteemed colleague Señor Tuffy Pants, M.D., does need to reconsider his conclusion that Aqua Boy is not "exceptionally rich." The guy turns down more multi-million endorsement deals before breakfast (a hearty Kellogg's breakfast, btw) than most athletes will see in their lifetime.

Thank you to 60 Minutes and Anderson Cooper for giving us another reason to hate our short stubby feet and fear of chlorine. (And people who are more talented/work harder than us.) Did we mention the guy is a freakin' swimmer?
