Ryan Lochte Receives Multiple Reality TV Show Offers

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Olympic athlete Ryan Lochte has been inundated by a wide range of offers to star in a TV reality show. The swimmer's sports agent Erika Wright has confirmed the report.  

The five-time medal winning US swimmer already enjoys nine endorsements deals from such major corporations as Speedo, Gatorade, Ralph Lauren and Gillette. Fortune has estimated his 2012 endorsement earnings at $2.3 million. Wright told THR that the Rochester NY native has also received offers to create his own fashion line and has been asked by comedian Will Ferrell to appear in a FunnyOrDie video. And in the vein of many Olympic athletes who have come before him, Lochte revealed that he would consider the idea of becoming a contestant on ABC's Dancing With the Stars. 

In regard to the multiple television offers, the sports agent remarked, "I cannot tell you the exact shows, but two different reality show concepts have been offered and one additional is being discussed."

Wright added that Lochte is receiving offers for endorsement deals "daily" and has "Little Room for adding more" sponsors. "He has no issues whatsoever with regard to endorsements ... I can say things have been quite busy for team Lochte, heating up fast and furious since the Olympics."
