Like other athletes, Adam will be supported by lottery and government funding but while some countries pay generous bonuses to their successful athletes (in the tens of thousands of pounds range), Team GB doesn't provide that kind of monetary incentive.
How much has Adam Peaty earned in his career?
The talented swimmer's success means he is in demand for advertising and sponsorship deals, however, and it's estimated that his net worth is between £735,000 and £3.5 million.

How else does Adam Peaty make money?
He's also a trainer and entrepreneur, having founded his own business, the Adam Peaty Sports Clinic, to coach aspiring Olympians to success.
Of course, Strictly provides a nice boost to the wallet too – and the longer stars stay in, the better!
The standard fee for taking part is reportedly £25,000, rising to an incredible £100,000 for the lucky celebrity who lifts the glitterball. It also raises stars' profiles and puts them in the running for more TV and advertising opportunities.
No doubt, then, that Adam will want to keep dancing for as long as he can!
