Simone Biles swaps her black SUV for $150,000 white G-Wagon as Olympics star splashes out after Paris success
Simone Biles picked up four more medals at the Paris Olympics – and now the gymnast has added a brand new car to her collection as well.
The Team USA star, who won three gold medals and one silver at the Games, showed off her new ride on Instagram as she posed on the hood of a white Mercedes G-Wagon.
In the first of two Instagram stories, Biles paid tribute to her now-previous car, an older black G-Class, as she wrote ‘out with the old’ over a picture of her standing next to the vehicle.
The next picture she shared was a snap of her and the new car – which appears to be a 2025 G 550 SUV – captioned ‘In with the new.’
Estimates from Car and Driver put Biles’ new car at a starting price of $149,400
Biles will also be starring in the Gold Over America Tour this fall alongside USA teammate Jordan Chiles and a host of other gymnasts.
The tour is scheduled to run from September 16 to November 3 and hit the likes of Chicago, Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
Additionally, Biles announced earlier this week that a second part of her Netflix show will be released later this year.
Part one of Simone Biles: Rising aired earlier this year in the build up to the Paris Olympics and received largely positive reviews.
And the show was such a hit that part two has already been confirmed for release on October 25 as Biles looks to capitalize on her success in the French capital this summer.
She returned to the Olympic stage in Paris and won three golds – in the team event, all-around and vault – and took silver in the floor exercise after losing to her Brazilian rival Rebeca Andrade by the slimmest of margins.
Biles is now back on American soil and was slammed for wearing a controversial custom-made jacket to support Owens and the Chicago Bears last week.
The custom jacket, which featured black-and-white printed images of him on it, featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding fierce rivals and his former team.
