    Simone Biles treats herself with lavish purchase to celebrate Paris Olympics success

    Simone Biles unveiled a brand new Mercedes G-Wagon to her over 12 million followers on Instagram this Thursday, posing on top of the car in a story.

    Biles posted one story of her posing next to a large, matte-black car with the caption "out with the old," before posting the story of her sitting on the white G-Wagon captained "in with the new."

    The model Biles purchased goes for a cool $150,000. Biles won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics , earning her $37,500 a pop.

    The purchase was the cherry on top of a sweet summer for Biles. In addition to her three golds, the American gymnast also took home a silver medal in the floor routine.

    Biles's Paris haul brings her total Olympic gold medal tally to seven and her total count to 11. She's had even more success at the World Championships, earning 23 golds since she started competing in 2013.

    In what has been an exciting summer, Biles also began moving into her dream Texas mansion alongside her NFL husband Jonathan Owens. “So excited to make this house a HOME ... [just] a couple more months,” she said in an Instagram video this week.

    The pair originally met on a dating app years ago and were engaged in 2022. Owens and Biles were officially married in 2023 and can't wait to move into their Texas home together.

    Owens is entering his sixth season in the NFL after the Arizona Cardinals signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Missouri Western in 2018.

    He signed a two-year, $4.75 contract this offseason with the Chicago Bears . He spent last year, arguably his most successful as a pro, with the Green Bay Packers .

    By the time the next Olympics roll around in Los Angeles, Biles will be 31 years old. Most Olympic gymnasts don't even compete at her current age of 27, but Biles hasn't ruled anything out.

    "Never say never, next Olympics are at home. So you just never know. I am getting really old.," she said. It's strange to see such an athlete admit to their mortality.

    Her seven gold medals in women's Olympic gymnastics see her just two behind Larisa Latynina's record of nine. The Soviet Latynina also holds the all-time medal record with 18.
