Simone Biles is the most decorated American Olympic gymnast with 11 medals under her belt. Now, she’s decorating herself in Hermès.
The Paris 2024 Olympics competitor, regarded as the “greatest athlete of all time,” surpassed Shannon Miller in her medal count to become the most decorated US Olympic gymnast after her performance at this year’s summer games. Biles won gold in the women’s all-around team final, gold in the women’s all-around individual final, gold in the vault final, and silver in the floor final – adding four to her previous seven
Since the final Olympic women’s gymnastics event closed on August 5, Biles has enjoyed her time in the City of Lights with her family, teammates, and Snoop Dogg. The 27-year-old has even been spotted hitting the shops, specifically Hermès.
On August 9, Biles posted a sneak preview of her Parisian shopping experience inside the Hermès store. In her Instagram Story, she appeared to be eyeing a wall of the famed fashion house’s iconic Birkin bags. She followed up the photo of the purses with a peek at her purchase in a big orange box.
A Birkin bag can cost anywhere from $17,000 to six figures depending on the model, size, and style. Though Biles didn’t reveal exactly what she bought, she captioned her Story with a side-eye emoji and a heart eyes emoji.
The reigning world champion may have treated herself to a valuable present, but her father Ronald Biles also received a noteworthy gift from beloved rapper, Snoop Dogg. As Ronald spent his 75th birthday in Paris with his wife Nellie and his two daughters, Simone and Adria, the athlete’s younger sister revealed what the “Young, Wild & Free” rapper gifted to Ronald for his birthday.
“Snoop gave him a chain. Now he don’t know how to act,” Adria’s caption read, alongside a photo of Ronald holding up a diamond-encrusted Death Row Records necklace.
