Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Michael Phelps made headlines this week with his quick and enthusiastic response to a playful challenge from the NFL. According to Yahoo Sports, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video on social media, along with several teammates, inviting Phelps to visit training camp and give swimming lessons. The group revealed that a surprising number of Ravens players do not know how to swim and cited their new recovery pool as the perfect place for Phelps to step in. Phelps, a lifelong Ravens fan and Baltimore native, didn't miss a beat replying, “I got y’all! Let’s do it!” making it clear he'll bring his champion expertise to the gridiron. Such an offer aligns perfectly with the mission of the Michael Phelps Foundation, which remains active in providing swim lessons and promoting water safety across the country. The video got traction on platforms like Instagram, with fans amused by the unexpected blend of NFL and Olympic royalty and further cemented Phelps’ role as a benevolent figure in athlete development and public wellness.

Phelps’ investment activities also featured prominently in sports business news. Unrivaled, the three-on-three women’s basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars and backed by Phelps as an early investor, announced its new valuation at $340 million after an oversubscribed Series B investment round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with notable support from Serena Williams and Alex Morgan’s venture firms. SportsPro Media and The Gist report that the league’s rapid growth—multiplying its valuation nearly tenfold in just over a year—positions it as one of the most exciting properties in women’s sports. Unrivaled is drawing serious financial attention, with star investors like Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo joining Phelps in championing the athlete-driven business model. The results are strong, reportedly $30 million in revenue from a successful first season and a fast-tracked expansion plan for the next year.

Phelps’ broader business profile continues to grow through public speaking, foundation work, and diversified investments, as per Edinburgh Letting Centre’s recent analysis of his post-pool earnings strategy. On the cultural front, motivational quotes from Phelps continue to circulate, including a popular Threads post late last week stating, “The more you dream the more you achieve,” alongside the hashtag MichaelPhelps. While no major public appearances beyond the Ravens swim challenge have been confirmed in the last few days, industry insiders are watching closely to see if Phelps will take the stage at high-profile gatherings like the upcoming Clinton Global Initiative in New York later this month, but as of now his attendance has not been officially announced. Speculation about future collaborations and business deals remains active, but recent coverage underscores Phelps' ongoing influence both in and out of the water.
