Congratulations: Simone Biles reveals the extravagant gift her parents gave her pos – Olympics

Simone was adopted by her grandparents, Ronald and Nellie, as a young child

As well as being America’s sweetheart, Simone Biles is also the golden child of her family; when she’s the most decorated gymnast in history, who can blame her?

The 27-year-old revealed in a Threads post last week that her parents even bought her a Hermès bag to celebrate her huge success at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which wrapped up over the weekend.

Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents”, she quipped in the social media post.

Simone won a whopping four gold medals at the Games and a silver to sweeten the deal, so it’s no wonder her parents wanted to congratulate her with the gorgeous gift.

The gymnast let fans in on her shopping spree on Friday, posting photos of cream and tan Birkin bags and an orange gift box that housed her very own Birkin. The famed bag can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $200,000, depending on how rare it is.
Simone has been open about how her parents, Ronald and Nellie, turned her life around when they adopted her and her sister, Adria.

Ronald and Nellie are actually Simone’s grandparents; sadly, Simone’s mother struggled with addiction, and after witnessing their daughter’s decline, they stepped in to adopt their grandchildren.

“Being separated from my biological mom, being placed in foster care before I officially got adopted by my grandparents, it just set me up for a better route at life,” she explained in her Facebook series, Simone vs. Herself.

“I feel like I wouldn’t be where I am unless that turning point happened. I would still be Simone Biles, [but] probably not Simone Biles that everybody else knows, the world knows.”
