Michael Phelps will celebrate his 38th birthday on June 30 and we have no choice but to honor the most decorated Olympian of all time.
Phelps was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1985 as a prodigy of his sport. Fast forward to the year 2000, he was the youngest man in the USA team for an Olympic Games at the age of 15.
Throughout his career as an Olympic swimmer, Phelps won 28 medals in total. He is now retired and spends some much deserved time with his wife and three sons.
