Simone Biles isn’t just head over heels for her husband, Jonathan Owens. She’s got a serious love for luxury handbags, too! The gymnastics icon has a net worth of $25 million. And she has worked hard to earn her place at the top. And isn’t shy about indulging in life’s finer things. However, her love for Hermes bags has sparked some controversy before. Like last year when her Paris shopping spree had fans debating whether it was “too flashy.” This year, Simone is doubling down and unbothered. She showed off her latest luxury purchase on Instagram—a stunning gold Hermes bag, a brand worth $151 billion. And it once again got people talking.

And let’s talk about that bag itself. It’s not just pretty; it’s pricey. Simone dropped $25,500 on the iconic Hermes piece. And she has made it clear she was treating herself. She captioned the post, “Treated myself to a new lil bby while in New York. Jonathan came for emotional support. Baby, I was sweating.” Honestly, who wouldn’t be with a price tag like that? Simone was in NYC for Vtex Connect on January 13th. But her handbag purchase definitely stole the spotlight.

Last year, when Simone Biles showed off her stunning new Hermès bag—worth tens of thousands of dollars—fans were quick to jump on her Paris shopping spree, calling it “too flashy” and accusing her of showing off. But Simone wasn’t having it. She fired back with her signature sass, revealing that the bag was actually a gift from her parents, Ronald and Nellie, to celebrate her Olympic success. Her response? “My parents bought me my Hermes bag 🥰. Don’t be mad at me; be mad at your parents.”

Whether she’s treating herself or getting spoiled by her family, Simone makes it clear: she’s worked hard to get to where she is, and she’s going to enjoy every bit of it! And honestly, this wasn’t the first time she’s done something special for herself.

Does Jonathan Owens spoil Simone Biles too?

Have an interesting take?

After winning three gold medals at the Paris Olympics, Simone Biles knew it was time to treat herself. She gifted herself a brand-new white Mercedes-Benz Off-Road Icon, which starts at $148,250 (with some custom upgrades, of course). Sharing the excitement on Instagram, she posted a pic of her new ride with the caption, “Out with the old, in with the NEW,” and even showed off her black Prada bag worth $2,200. While Simone is all about treating herself, you might wonder—does Jonathan Owens ever spoil her too?

Last year, during an interview with Olympics Gymnastics on YouTube, Simone Biles shared some adorable details about the best gifts she’s received from her husband, Jonathan Owens. When asked about the best gift she’s given him, she replied, “The best? I wouldn’t say the best gift I’ve ever gotten him because obviously that would be me.She said that she remembered him giving one of his favorite items, which was a Rolex. When asked what possessions of Jonathan she considers valuable, she said she is not very materialistic, but she really loves it when he buys her flowers every week. It’s the smallest things that are really the biggest in life, and they do not have to cost a cent, but thoughts and efforts behind the gifts matter truely to her!
