He is reportedly worth $3 million and that figure is expected to increase after he snared five medals at the London Olympics.

And, the jewel-encrusted grill Ryan Lochte’s sported on the podium is said to cost a staggering $25000.

But away from the glitz and the glory, Lochte’s own parents are struggling just like most of middle America.

According to a lawsuit filed in May in Volusia County, CitiMortgage is suing to foreclose on Steven and Ileana Lochte.

The bank is seeking to recoup $250,00, reports TMZ.

Court records show that Ileana Lochte asked the court to dismiss the case last month. Messages left Saturday for her attorney were not immediately returned.

The Lochtes divorced last year.
