Probably the most famous gymnast in American history, Simone Biles, is making headlines once again. But this time, it’s for her Instagram-worthiness rather than her gymnastic prowess.

Biles’ mother first noticed her talents when she casually flipped over the mailbox as a kid, but now the world is in awe of her athletic skills when she broke record after record in gymnastics. In addition to her artistic gymnastics, the seven-time Olympic medalist is gaining attention for speaking out strongly about mental health.

She is also the youngest person to receive the ‘Presidential Medal of Freedom.’ On the other hand, Lindsey Vonn is just as much of an Olympian. She has won 82 World Cup races, which is an exceptional accomplishment in the sport of alpine skiing.

As she prepares for the Winter Olympics, Biles is keeping her followers impatient to see the records she will break. In the meantime, she is quite active on Instagram and frequently updates her followers on the latest events in her life through cheerful and inspiring photos, collages, and short videos. With a post costing about $38,000, Biles has a $16 million net worth.

Despite having retired in February 2019, Vonn is still active. She became a writer in order to reflect on her life events and share tales that would empower and inspire others. She can switch between positions as easily as skiing, whether it is writing or running a successful business. With a post costing about $12,000, Vonn has a $12 million net worth.
