After finishing her participation in the 2024 Olympics with four medals (three gold and one silver) and $135,000, approximately R$743,000, as a prize from the US Olympic Committee, Simone Biles bought a gift to celebrate her achievement. The gymnast owns a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550, a worldwide launch by the German brand with an initial price of $160,000, approximately R$880,000.

Biles, 27, already had a Mercedes-Benz G-Class 500 and decided to trade it in for a more up-to-date model with more modern accessories such as red leather seats and a multimedia kit.

The car is already in the garage of the new house, which is located in Texas and cost US$ 2 million (or R$ 10.9 million), according to the American website “Home & Texture”. She shares the property with her husband Jonathan Owens, an American football player for the Chicago Bears. The two met on a dating app in 2020 and the wedding took place in April of this year, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

According to Forbes magazine, Simone has a fortune valued at 16 million dollars, approximately R$90 million in prizes and million-dollar advertising contracts. The gymnast has been sponsored by Nike since 2015 and is a global ambassador for Visa. Also according to the publication, Biles earned a little over 100 thousand dollars (R$550 thousand) in competitions during the year 2023.
