oth athletes Michael Phelps and Lewis Hamilton love to buy and sell luxury properties. But who has the most impressive real estate portfolio? Starting with Michael Phelps, he is believed to have once owned, for example, a 5,200 square foot residence in Central Canton Square, which is in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States. Built in 1910, the house has unique features compared to others in the same area, as it is spacious and designed with modern urban and industrial finishes. Upon entering the premises, there is a cozy living room with a sophisticated wooden floor and high ceilings that give the space a greater sense of spaciousness.

As reported by the media, the athlete sold the property for $1.25 million despite having bought it in 2007 for $1.69 million. But it doesn’t end there as he also had another Tuscan-style property in the Paradise Valley region, which was bought shortly after it was finished built in 2014. The swimmer’s former residence has over 6,000 square ft of interior space filled with unique handcrafted details, such as imported wood flooring and custom lighting in every room.

The suite also includes a walk-in closet and a back bathroom with double sinks, a soaking tub for relaxing, and a separate shower stall.

The luxuries of the residence do not stop there. There is also a modern media room and a total of 6 and a half bathrooms, which were built with very similar features. Outside, there is a 35,000 ft landscaped lot, which features a manicured lawn, fruit trees, and plenty of spaces for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.

Another of the most spectacular luxuries of this residence is, without a doubt, the large swimming pool, which is great for leisure days and also has a separate spa.

It is possible to notice that besides all these qualities, the residence is also located in a quieter and safer area, which is ideal for a great Olympic record holder like Michael Phelps to live with his family.As reported by the media, the athlete purchased this property in late 2015 for the princely sum of $2.53 million.

New York City in the United States is another place that Lewis Hamilton likes to invest in, and it’s no wonder that he owns two apartments in the city. One of them has an incredible view of the Hudson River and is located in a super luxurious building that offers many amenities for its residents. The condominium’s amenities include a well-equipped gym, steam room, 82ft heated swimming pool, massage room, outdoor party room, and much more.

In addition to these properties, it is speculated that he has an apartment in Switzerland overlooking Lake Geneva in Nyon and a mansion in the mountains of Colorado.

The place has many luxuries, such as breathtaking views of the region in any season, and the property is aligned with the mountains, where the driver loves to venture into the snow.

Although Hamilton loves spending time here, it’s not known how much he paid for it. Considering the high price of Hamilton’s properties, that’s another point for him. Business. As well as being great athletes, they also have other sources of income. But which of them has the most lucrative businesses? Michael Phelps, for example, knows how to multiply his fortune. One of his main ways of making money is through investments.

Over the years, he has invested in several ventures, such as the therapy platform Talkspace, the mental health company Medibio, and the clothing and accessory startup Aquasphere, in which he is also a shareholder. The swimming star has also launched his line of clothing and accessories for swimmers called MP Michael Phelps and has opened a diving school for children of all ages called Michael Phelps Swim School. The athlete also decided to invest in writing, collaborating in the production of books about his career, including “No Limits: The Will to Succeed” and “Beneath the Surface: My Story.” Another of the athlete’s ventures was “Michael Phelps: Push the Limit,” an electronic game for Xbox 360.

Michael Phelps also began a career as a speaker, becoming much in demand to share his experiences at sports and corporate conferences. But Michael Phelps’ biggest source of income outside of swimming is undoubtedly through sponsorships and advertising deals. Among the main brands that have invested in the athlete’s image are sports fashion Under Armour, Colgate dental products, Omega watches, fashion brand Louis Vuitton, Crave jerky healthy snacks, Head and Shoulders shampoos, among many others. Even after retiring from competition, Michael Phelps still keeps most of his agreements with companies.

In addition, the former Olympic athlete has also started to invest in golfing ventures in recent years, which has been the main sport he is currently engaged in. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, is not far behind. To manage his sources of income, he founded Project 44, a company that manages all his businesses. In the vegan food market, for example, Hamilton is a partner in Neat Burger, a fast food restaurant that produces burgers without animal meat, with branches in New York, London, Milan, and Dubai.

Another of his investments is in Athletic Greens, a sports nutrition company that sells supplements. Hamilton is also one of the investors in the startup Nurtaco, a company that creates tasty plant-based foods. As for motorsport, he decided to found his own racing team called X44, which competes in the off-road electric car category. Since 2022, the driver has also been co-owner of the Denver Broncos, an American football team competing in the NFL, which has been valued by Forbes at $5.1 billion.

In 2023, Hamilton entered the spirits industry with the launch of ALVÉ, a brand that produces alcohol-free tequila, the bottle of which costs around $40. In addition to all this, Lewis has also launched Don Apollo Films, his own audiovisual production company. We can say that Lewis Hamilton is not only a genius on the track but also knows how to stand out in the business world. Because it’s difficult to determine the profit of each business, we’ll consider this round a draw, points for both. Net worth.

As two successful athletes Michael Phelps and Lewis Hamilton, everyone knows that they have amassed huge fortunes, but which one has the biggest net worth? Michael Phelps, for example, to get an idea of his earnings, the Olympic Committee pays a certain amount of money for each athlete who wins a medal. As Michael Phelps has won 28 medals in his entire career, 23 of them gold, he has likely earned approximately $640,000 just this way. As for his wages, some sources speculate that he earned about $2 million per year as a swimmer. Although this is a great income, it is a far cry from all the money he made.

This is because Michael Phelps was for a long time the number one swimmer in the world, which allowed him to close many advertising deals that contributed heavily to his net worth. One of the athlete’s sponsors was Under Armour, and Michael Phelps reportedly earned over the entire time of his contract with the brand about $5 million.

To get a sense of how much he made in total, according to The Street, in the last years of his career, Michael Phelps earned about $9.3 million a year, but he once received as much as $12 million. Today, even after retiring from swimming, Michael Phelps continues to earn a lot of money through his other sources of income and leads a very quiet life with his family. Although nobody knows for sure the total value of Michael Phelps’ fortune, some sources estimate the athlete’s net worth to be approximately $100 million. Lewis Hamilton is not far behind.

To give you an idea of his earnings, he is nothing less than the highest-paid driver in Formula 1 history and the highest-paid British sportsman of all time, surpassing soccer great David Beckham. Compared to other sports, in 2021 he came eighth in the list of the highest-paid athletes in the world, earning around $82 million for the year. This is due to the fact that he is the only driver who goes beyond the barriers of his sport, being a very strong figure in the media, which is why he is coveted by big companies.

To give you an idea of his relevance, on Instagram alone, for example, he has more than 36 million followers. Because he has a good image in the eyes of the public, big brands invest a lot of money in associating their image with that of the driver. He has already been sponsored by companies such as car manufacturer Mercedes, electronics company

LG, American fashion house Tommy Hilfiger, sports brand Puma, among many others. To give you an idea of how much he’s made from his contracts in recent years, between 2016 and 2017, he earned around $50 million from sponsorships and prize money. The following year, he pocketed another $51 million, and 12 months later, another $55 million. By 2023, Forbes estimates that he had earned around $65 million from all his income. The driver’s earnings should continue to rise since in July 2023, Hamilton signed a 2-year deal with Mercedes that would pay him $60 million a year.

Although he terminated the contract a season later, the driver has already signed another one, this time to race for Ferrari, where he will supposedly be pocketing up to $17 million in the 2025 season. According to estimates, Lewis Hamilton’s net worth is around $280 million or more than $380 million. With the huge sums he has received in recent years, it is likely that his fortune is much higher than that.

Because he has a higher estimated fortune, Lewis Hamilton wins this final round. At the end of this fight, we have one point for Michael Phelps against six points for Lewis Hamilton, who wins this battle handily. Believe that there are still other arguments to defend one of the two.
