What Is Simone Biles' Net Worth?
Published
No doubt one of the greatest athletes of all time, Simone Biles has earned the most medals in the sport of gymnastics - and she's seen plenty of wealth come her way as a result.
Standing at only 4ft 8 tall, the 24-year-old is one of the biggest stars in the world right now and is set to bring down the curtain on her glittering Olympic career in Tokyo.
She won four Olympic gold medals at Rio in 2016 in the team event, the individual all-around, the vault, and the floor exercise, as well as a bronze medal in the balance beam.
And in doing so, she set an American record for the most gold medals in women's gymnastics at a single games.
Biles, who has a combined total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, is the huge favourite heading into the Tokyo Olympics, as the gold medal shoo-in for the all-around, floor, vault, and beam events.
During the span of her career she is likely to have made a pretty penny along the way, but just how much is she worth today?
What is Simone Biles' net worth?
Simone Biles estimated net worth stands at around $6m, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Her status as a World Champion since 2013 has led to many lucrative sponsorship deals, which account for the majority of her wealth.
Additionally, at the 2016 Olympic Games, each Gold Medalist was awarded $25,000, $15,000 for Silver, and $10,000 for Bronze. With four gold medals and one bronze, Biles walked away from $110,000 richer.
This year, USA Today has reported that athletes can expect to win "$37,500 for each gold medal they win this year, $22,500 for each silver, and $15,000 for each bronze. In team sports, each team member splits the pot evenly."
Meaning that this year Biles and the entire USA team could leave the games with even more money than in 2016.
As well as gymnastics, Biles also advertises on Instagram to her 4.3m followers and has rolled out plenty of content, including ads for United Airlines. Not a bad side gig that, eh?
