Olympic Diver Greg Louganis Sacrificed Everything for the Sport, Yet Never Profited from It Due to Financial Problems

Greg Louganis, the celebrated Olympic diver, is reportedly exploring the possibility of creating content on the subscription platform OnlyFans to address ongoing financial challenges. Sources indicate that the 65-year-old athlete has already sold three of his five Olympic medals and his California residence in recent months.

According to insiders, Louganis, who captured gold medals at both the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics in springboard and platform events, decided to auction off his medals and sell his home to secure funds and start a new chapter in Panama. Many athletes have leveraged their careers into profitable ventures, but my achievements were my medals, and I am grateful for them, he explained.

Sources suggest that Louganis is considering an OnlyFans account, similar to other celebrities, as a way to supplement his income. While the platform hosts a variety of content, it is often linked with provocative material. Friends note that the diving legend gave his life to the sport but never financially benefited from it.

By selling two gold medals and one silver medal, Louganis reportedly raised close to half a million dollars. Yet, friends and insiders emphasize the stark contrast between his past fameappearing on Wheaties boxesto his current financial uncertainties.

Louganis, who disclosed his HIV-positive status in 1995, recently shared on social media that he is embracing uncertainty while living in Panama and is considering spending time in New Zealand. Sources stress that his primary focus now is financial stability, with supporters expressing that he deserves peace and security in this stage of life.
