Filed under: USA We all know the old saying -- win eight gold medals in a single Olympic games, buy a ridiculous pad. America's favorite son, Michael Phelps, didn't waste any time improving his lifestyle, recently purchasing a $1.69 million condo in his hometown of Baltimore equipped with a pool for the training and a jacuzzi for the laaadies . According to the New York Daily News... His new condo building comes with a rooftop terrace, a private screening room, a state-of-the-art gym and a clubhouse with pool tables. The 4,080 square feet waterfront condo is just the first step in what appears to be the quickest anyone has ever had to re-order a debit card because of strip fatigue. Besides his pricey address, Phelps bought the Meadowbrook Swim Club & Northwest Ice Rink in Baltimore. He and his coach, Bob Bowman, want to turn the facility into an elite Olympic training center. Phelps said he wants to buy a new car, too. "My friend's in the car business, so he's going to help me," Phelps said Wednesday before leaving Beijing. "I've been looking at some Aston Martins and some Maseratis. It would be pretty sweet to get an old-school Aston Martin, some of the old-school [James] Bond ones. That would be sick."
