After the Olympic games, Simone's parents treated her with a Hermès bag
Simone Biles knows that splurging on a bottle of champagne isn’t a flex, but having your dream car parked every day in your mansion is a no-brainer. The Olympic champion is back in Texas after her incredible performance at the 2024 Olympic games, and she is treating herself big.
Simone took to social media to show she traded her black Mercedes G-Wagon for a brand-new white version with red leather interiors. The 27-year-old gymnast shared a series of snaps in which she appears sitting on the vehicle’s hood.
“Out with the old,” she wrote. “In with the new,” she added.
Simone chose to add a pop of color to her new ride, by customizing her interiors red.
The gold medalist and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are also building their dream mansion in Texas. Glimpses of their future home also appear in Bile’s Netflix 2024 documentary.
After the Olympic games, Simone’s parents treated her with a Hermès bag. “my parents bought me my hermes bag 🥰,” she wrote on Threads. “don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she joked.
Biles’s luxurious items comes after the athlete alleged that after closing ceremonies, a Parisian club tried to charge her $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Biles, shared with her 5.3 million followers on TikTok, the shocking story. “We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went, and after that, we went out. You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like, are you insane? Obviously, I didn’t buy it, but why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild,” she said to the camera.
Sure that they were charging her that much because of her status, the gymnast shared some of her feelings on fame saying “I don’t know, sometimes the attention, I’d rather not have it. I’d rather just be as normal as possible. I don’t know,” she reflected.
