Rice is poised for a massive financial windfall from endorsements and sponsorships following her outstanding gold medal-winning feats in the 200m and 400m individual medleys and 4x200m freestyle relay.

"Stephanie will skyrocket as a personality in Australia," said Chris White, Managing Director of International Quarterback.

"She'll be substantially rewarded and deservedly so. The phone has been ringing ... there is no doubt about that."

You can understand why White would be sporting a huge smile.

International Quarterback, the stable that has Michael Clarke, John Eales and Grant Hackett as their marquee sporting stars, only took over managing Rice on July 1 after her split with IMG.

It's a big fish IMG has lost.

High profile celebrity agent Max Markson has predicted Rice has the potential to be the "next Ian Thorpe" with regards to earning potential out of the pool.

Rice ticks all the boxes for potential sponsors.

The former Clayfield College student is sassy, good looking, has a million dollar smile, and is articulate.

"Aware of my weaknesses" was Rice's response when asked what her greatest asset is.

Fashion, cosmetics, sports cars, IT ... on face value, it would seem there is nothing her face couldn't add value to.

However, White stressed International Quarterback would be measured and not sign the first big deal put on the table.

"The corporate endorsement spotlight is all new to Stephanie," White said.

"We'll step through a thorough process ... it is imperative we get the right brand alignment for Stephanie.

"The other key factor to consider is Stephanie's availability - her intense training schedule must not be jeopardised."

Australian swimming coach Allan Thompson believes Rice could compete at least two more Olympics.

Rice currently trains under Michael Bohl in Brisbane's western suburbs and says going to the movies is her favourite relaxation.

The classic line from the popular flick Jerry Maguire would be ringing in Rice's ears ... "Show me the money!"
