Simon Biles' Net Worth Will Have You Flipping Out
Simon Biles is ready to remind the world why she's the greatest of all time at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, not that she has anything to prove. The gymnast is an absolute icon. I mean, she has four moves named after her. But if that doesn't solidify her all-star status, her Olympic-level net worth might. So, how much has Simone amassed in her years in the spotlight? And where does that money come from? Read on to find out.
Let's start with the obvious: Simone has received some money from the five medals—four gold and one bronze—she won at the 2016 Rio Olympics. According to CNBC, at the 2018 Winter Olympics, U.S. athletes received $37,500 for each gold medal, $22,500 for each silver, and $15,000 for each bronze, though that was an increase from 2016. In team sports, all the team members split that pot. Still, that does mean Simone walked away from Rio with quite a bit of money in her pocket.
The bulk of Simone's net worth, however, most likely comes from her endorsement deals. In the past, Simone has worked with dozens of huge brands like Athleta, Beats By Dre, Hershey's, Kellogg's, Uber Eats, and more. While we don't know how much she got paid for these deals, I hope Uber Eats coughed up some good money for this incredible commercial with Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness:
Simone also monetizes her 4.4 million Instagram followers and does some sponsored content on social media as well. She's done ads for United Airlines, Oreo, Nike, and more.
All that ad money adds up, so it's no surprise that Simone is reportedly worth $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, but trust me, that number is only going to grow after Tokyo.
