Ans:

Now that he just finished the 150m, he has 6 gold medals from the 2008 Olympics. With his 6 from the 2004 Games in Athens, that’s 12.

However he has 26 Gold medals won at the world championships and pan pacific championships and 6 silver won at those championships as well.
Therefore in his career including his olympic wins he has a total of :
39 Gold Medals Possibly 40
6 Silver Medals
2 Bronze Medals
for a total of 47 medals including his olympic wins bronze and silver medals in his whole career
