Just over two weeks ago, the gymnast dominated the Olympic Games in Paris, winning three gold medals – one each in the team all-around final, the individual all-around final and the vault final – and a silver medal in the floor final.

Biles, 27, also closed the ceremony as flag bearer.

“What an honor. I haven’t found the right words to describe my Olympic experience, it’s been a whirlwind… but I do know that I will be forever grateful to represent the United States,” she said on Instagram on August 12.

Despite her historic journey, she admitted her body was running on fumes towards the end of the Games.

“I’m really tired,” she said in a TikTok video earlier this month. “I feel like my body is slowing down and starting to shut down, like it’s ready to be done.”

After adding four medals to her already rich collection, the Olympic athlete received an expensive Hermés bag as a gift from her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles.

Simone also traded in her black Mercedes G-Wagon for a brand new white version.

The athlete posed on the $150,000 vehicle, which was outfitted with a red leather interior.

“Out with the old,” Simone captioned a photo of her original car. “In with the new,” she wrote alongside an image of the new one.

Biles will soon hit the road to headline the Gold Over America Tour, which kicks off on September 16 in Oceanside, California, and concludes on November 3 in Detroit.

The show is described as “an exhilarating demonstration of stunning athleticism and energetic choreography with an inspiring message of hope, strength, resilience and determination.”

Also appearing will be Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Fred Richard, Joscelyn Roberson, Shane Wiskus and many more.
