While out shopping, Biles chose an outfit that was a mix of casual and chic. She looked great in a fitted tan scoop-neck top. She layered that stylishly under a brown trench coat. The Chicago Bears safety brought his own shine to the moment with a diamond chain necklace, wrapping his arm around Biles as they posed together.

But true fans know that behind this chic lifestyle is paranoia. Something that has made Simone make some major decisions.
Simone Biles on being luxurious by being frugal
Today Biles is a multi-time Olympic gold medalist. But there used to be a time when she used to be so paranoid that she would go broke. This paranoia is not unfounded, though, as we have seen many famous athletes go broke. The first time Simone wrote a cheque was for the down payment on her house. This simply tells how financially responsible the gymnast is. This is not the end, however. Simone also has numerous investments in her name. This ensures that irrespective of her wins on the mat, she will be winning when it comes to the benjamins.
She has also not shied away from endorsement deals, which have propelled her net worth upwards of $17 million. But perhaps it is on the back of these investments and endorsements that Biles is able to enjoy the luxurious lifestyle she is having today. From expensive Hermes bags costing a fortune to having a dream wedding with her husband in Mexico.
Yes, you heard that right. Simone has a deep love for luxury bags. And just a few days ago, she added yet another $30,000 Hermes Birkin to her collection. And while her detractors leave no occasion to pester her for her habits, the Olympian has not let it get her. After all, from her childhood, she dreamed of these moments. And she has worked hard enough to deserve this by representing her country.
But while her dream of high-end luxury is more or less fulfilled, she is still waiting on her biggest wish. Despite her net worth allowing her to travel the whole world, her bucket has one name, which carries much significance. And that place is none other than Bora Bora. Yes, it has been a lifelong wish of Simone Biles to have a vacation at the famous beach spot. And with recent splurges, fans might finally get to see their favorite have her dream moment at the Pearl of the Pacific.
