Simone Biles is the most decorated American Olympic gymnast with 11 medals, and now she’s adorned with Hermès. Considered the “greatest female athlete of all time,” the Paris 2024 Olympian surpassed Shannon Miller as the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast in medal history following her performance at this summer’s Olympics. Biles won gold in the women’s team all-around final, gold in the women’s individual all-around final, gold in the vault final and silver in the floor exercise final, adding four more medals to her previous seven. Since the final Olympic women’s gymnastics event concluded on August 5, Biles has been enjoying time in the City of Lights with her family, teammates, and Snoop Dogg. The 27-year-old was also spotted shopping at stores like Hermes. On August 9, Biles announced a spare vision for the Paris shopping experience at Hermis Store. In her story on Instagram, she seemed to be looking at the famous Birkin house wall of a famous house. She took a picture of a wallet after seeing the purchase in a large orange box.
Birkin bags can spend 17,000-6 digits depending on the model, size and style. Biles didn’t reveal what she specifically purchased, but she captioned her story with a sideways glance emoji and a heart-eyes emoji.

The reigning world champion may have given herself a priceless gift, but her father, Ronald Biles, also received a wonderful one from beloved rapper Snoop Dogg. As Ronald celebrated his 75th birthday in Paris with his wife, Nelly, and their two daughters, Simone and Adria, the athlete’s sister revealed what the “Young, Wild & Free” rapper gave Ronald for his birthday.
“Snoop gave him a chain. He doesn’t know how to act now, “he explains in Cap Dadria and has a diamond necklace with Ronald’s photos.
“75 You look great. Happy birthday, I love you,” Adria said.

Ronald isn’t the only member of the Biles family set to shine at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After winning the women’s individual all-around final on Aug. 1, the famed gymnast was spotted wearing a diamond pendant in the shape of a goat.
“My ‘GOAT’ necklace is kind of an anthem, because some people love it and some people hate it,” she explained during a press conference after the awards ceremony. “So it’s like the best of both worlds. I thought, “Okay, if everything goes well, we’ll wear the GOAT necklace.” I know people will go crazy for him.”
She continued, “But at the end of the day, it’s crazy that I’m in the conversation about ‘the greatest of all athletes,’ because I still think, ‘I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, who loves to get naughty.'”
