Team USA swimmer Katie Ledecky won yet another Olympic gold on Wednesday during the women's 1500-meter freestyle race, further solidifying her place in swimming history as the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT)
For four Olympics, Katie Ledecky has swum toward new markers of success in her sport
On top of that, it would appear that the 27-year-old, who is the niece of Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky, hasn't ruled out at least one more go in the sport that she has dominated
As of 2024, Katie Ledecky's net worth is estimated to be around $5 million
Ledecky finished with a time of 15:30.02, an Olympic record and ten seconds better than the next finisher, for her eighth career Olympic gold medal to tie swimming great Jenny Thompson for the most Olympic gold medals by an American women
These figures are still far from fellow American Michael Phelps, who is not only the most decorated swimmer but the most successful athlete in Olympic history
So I definitely know I'm not retiring after this summer and 2028 is very appealing
Ledecky breaks her own Olympic record and wins gold in 1,500-meter freestyle.
