Michael Phelps Isn't the Only One Cashing In on Gold
Nastia Liukin sells out too
 

World's Greatest Athlete and upcoming television star Michael Phelps isn't the only one capitalizing on his Olympic fame. And thank god for that! For instance, while Phelps shuns Wheaties, the cereal maker selected gold medal-winning gymnastics champ Nastia Liukin to slap on its box. And Liukin — whose name, unfortunately, could be confused with "nasty looking," though she certainly is not — isn't stopping there.

While Phelps has sponsorship deals from Visa and Speedo, Liukin got herself some of her own endorsement gold: She just signed an endorsement deal with Vanilla Star jeans, which kicks off its print and outdoor campaign with the gymnast today, and is shown here.

And while Phelps scored $1.6 million for his book deal, Liukin is also getting some dust jacket dollars. The 18-year-old is expected to snag a six-figure advance.
