Simone Biles Shows Off New Six-Figure Gift After Historic Olympic Run
Simone Biles once again proved that she’s the best gymnast in the world at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Considering Biles pulled out of the 2020 Tokyo Games after suffering from a dangerous condition known as “the twisties,” and took nearly two years off from the sport before retuning to competition, her dominant comeback was even more incredible.
Biles helped Team USA win gold and she became the first woman to ever win the all-around competition twice in non-consecutive Olympics. The 27-year-old earned another gold during the Vault Final and silver in the Floor Final.
After becoming the most-decorated gymnast in U.S. history, Biles is celebrating her hard-earned success. While in Paris, her parents, Nellie and Ronald, gifted the 11-time Olympic medalist with an Hermes bag. Once she returned home to Texas, the gymnastics legend decided to treat herself with a new vehicle.
Biles posted a photo of her white Mercedes-Benz Off-Road Icon, which has a starting price of $148,250. Custom upgrades like red interior seats featured in Biles car, of course, cost extra.
The nine-time national champion used to have a similar vehicle in black. But as she posted on her Instagram Stories, “Out with the old, in with the NEW.” Sitting on the car seat, her black Prada nylon bag, which retails for $2,200.
Biles also revealed that renovations on her new home, which she shares with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, should be finished in a few months.
Biles, however, won’t be home for too long. In just a few short weeks, Biles starts headlining the Gold Over America Tour, which has stops in over 30 cities across the nation starting in early September. Her fellow Team USA members, Jade Carey, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera, are slated to perform with Biles on tour.
