TMZ: Michael Phelps Autographed Paintings Commemorating 2008 Olympics on Sale for $2M

No athlete holds more Olympic gold medals than swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 overall and eight alone at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Now an eight-piece oil painting collection (the "Golden Eight") commemorating the 2008 performance is being shopped for $2 million, per TMZ Sports.

Phelps signed all of the pieces, which owner Todd Patkin commissioned in 2008, per TMZ Sports. Renowned artist Brian Fox performed the works.

Per Swimming World, Patkin "is currently accepting offers for the entire collection of eight paintings with an asking price of $250,000 per painting," specifically.

Phelps entered the 2008 Summer Olympics with a tremendous amount of hype as he had a chance to break former American swimmer Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in one Games with eight of his own.

Remarkably, Phelps met that tremendous hype and earned top honors in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter freestyle, 200-meter individual medley, 400-meter individual medley, 4x100 meter freestyle relay, 4x200 meter freestyle relay and 4x100 meter medley relay.
