How did Ryan Lochte Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on August 3, 1984, in Rochester, New York, Ryan Lochte grew up in the city of Bristol, where he was taught how to swim by his parents (his father worked as a swim coach) at the age of five. Not long afterward, he moved with his family to Florida, for his father’s work. Continuing to spend time at the pool, he eventually began to compete in the Junior Olympics. Ultimately, it was after a particular loss when he was fourteen, that he decided to take the sport more seriously.
After several years of training, he qualified for his first Summer Olympics in 2004, after finishing second at the US Olympic Team Trials. Representing the United States in Athens, he ultimately won two medals- a gold in the 4x200m freestyle, and a silver in the 200m medley.
Four years later, he replicated his success at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, where he won not one, but two gold medals. In addition to that, he also won two bronzes in the 200m medley and 400m medley events.
Since then, Lochte has competed in two additional Summer Olympics. Most recently, he defended his champion title in the 4×200 m freestyle event in Rio de Janeiro.
As expected from one of the best-recognized athletes in the U.S., he has received a number of endorsement offers over the years. For instance, it’s said that he had earned over $2 million from working with brands such as Gillette, Speedo, Gatorade, Nissan, and Ralph Lauren, in 2012 alone. At one point, he even appeared in a commercial for the Nissan Altima.
Speaking of television, he has also appeared in a number of shows such as 90210, and 30 Rock. In 2013, he even had his own reality series called, What Would Ryan Lochte Do, which premiered on the E! Network. In August 2016, he also competed in the twenty-third season of Dancing with the Stars, though he was ultimately sent home on Week 8.
