South Africa's Olympic gold medallists Chad le Clos and Cameron van der Burgh can expect to earn between 2 and 4 million rand a year in sponsorship deals.
That's according to their manager, Ryk Neethling, who says the important thing is to allow them to focus on swimming, but that at the same time, their lives have been irrevocably changed.
Neethling himself is a 2004 Olympic gold medalist.
Le Clos won the 200m men's butterfly gold medal and Van der Burgh took the 100m breaststroke gold in London this week.
Le Clos will be chasing another gold medal tonight when he takes on Michael Phelps in the 100-metre butterfly final at 8.38pm.
