Is Simone Biles' tour bus the ultimate symbol of her well-earned success and luxury?

“I’m just going to relax and see where life takes me,” Simone Biles said in an interview with TODAY.com after her spectacular Olympics campaign. With four medals under her belt, including three shiny golds, she’s definitely earned some downtime. Let’s face it, the greatest show on earth can be a real grind, both physically and mentally. But this is Simone Biles we’re talking about! Her relaxation, however, was short-lived. It wasn’t long before she jumped headfirst into the Gold Over America tour.

This epic 30-city extravaganza is a mix of a pop concert and gymnastics spectacle, and it’s taking the U.S. by storm! So far, they’ve dazzled audiences in 24 cities, earning rave reviews everywhere they land. A major win! But let’s not sugarcoat it—touring can be exhausting. Fortunately, thanks to the Athleta presents GOAT tour, Simone is living the good life on the road, lounging in a fancy tour bus that fans can’t help but envy. They’re even claiming it’s better than their own homes!

In a TikTok video posted on October 25th, Simone Biles gave fans a cheeky peek inside her luxurious living quarters on the GOAT tour bus. Kicking things off with a classic dose of sarcasm, she quipped, “Here’s a bus tour that nobody asked for.” But trust us, fans were all ears as she revealed she’s been living in this beauty for the past 6-7 weeks while traveling with the Gold Over America tour. Simone started the grand tour in the living room/kitchen area, which features cozy seating for about five people and is bathed in warm, inviting light. She showed off a small TV perched above a comfy sofa and proudly pointed out her “selfie mirror”—yes, she’s got two of those! And next to it? A freezer/fridge combo that’s perfect for stashing snacks on the go. But wait. There’s more!

Then came the bathroom reveal. This one was surprisingly spacious for a vehicle! After that, she took fans to see the living quarters of her staff and any guests or family members who joined her on tour. But the pièce de résistance was her own room. With ample space, it boasted every amenity you could dream of: a bathroom with a shower, a plush bed, a TV, and even a little seating area.

One fan exclaimed below the video, “This is a BUS?!! This is the nicest one I’ve ever seen.” Seriously, who wouldn’t be blown away by a vehicle that looks more like a luxury suite? With top-notch appliances and enough space to live in for weeks, it’s exactly what Simone Biles needs to tackle her whirlwind tour schedule. After all, when you’re flipping through cities week after week, a comfy place to crash is a must!

Another fan echoed this sentiment, marveling, “Nicer than my house!” And they weren’t wrong—the bus boasts a spacious living room, two bathrooms, and three living quarters, all generously sized for plenty of room to breathe. It’s practically a mobile mansion! Renting a luxury tour bus can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 a day, depending on the amenities, so it’s clear Athleta went all out for their superstar athlete!

Joscelyn Roberson recently opened up about the tour life in an interview with SELF magazine, detailing how she juggles gymnastics and schoolwork. “We have call time around 4 p.m., 4:15 p.m. every single day. Until then, I usually do schoolwork or hang out, whatever,” she explained. She also mentioned her study buddy, Jade Carey, saying they keep each other on track with their assignments: “Last night, me and Jade stayed on the bus and studied. We’re both in college right now, so we’ll be like, ‘Okay, we have to make sure we get this assignment done before we do anything else.’” So it’s clear these buses provide a safe space for both their personal and academic lives.

Fans were clearly impressed by the size of the bus. ““How is this bus driving in the same lane as a little car?? Haha, I don’t get it. But it’s so nice!!!” one remarked. With Athleta backing the Gold Over America tour, who have been partners with Biles since 2021, it’s clear the partnership is strong; they must have shelled out quite a bit for this rolling palace for their superstar athlete!

As one fan put it, “I just want to get on a bus like this at least once in my lifetime.” All in all, this bus fits Simone’s status as a gymnastics legend. Who knows? It could even be her lucky charm as she rolls through the tour, and let’s hope it carries her to a happily-ever-after finish!
