What is Simone Biles' net worth?

It's hard to know how much exactly this gymnast is worth, especially since estimates online are all over the place. Celebrity Net Worthan outlet we usually count on for reliable ballpark figures, writes that her net worth is around $2 million. According to the site's income breakdown, Simone makes about $316,666 a year.

On the other hand, The U.S. Sun counts Simone's earnings at around $6 million. "She has obtained most of her fortune through endorsements, sponsorships, and Olympic wins," The Sun writes.

Who are Simone Biles' sponsors?

Simone signed a major deal with Nike in 2015 and represented the mega-brand at her first summer games in the 2016 Olympics. However, in 2021, Simone joined a long list of athletes who parted ways with Nike.

Simone has instead inked a deal to represent women's clothing brand Athleta, a division of Gap, which she says aligns better with her values. "I think they stand for everything that I stand for," she said to The Wall Street Journal, per the New York Times in April.

In another statement, Simone said of her new partnership, "Using my voice has been very empowering for me and I am grateful to embark on this new journey with Athleta to inspire young girls and women to do the same."

She continued, "I admire Athleta for their commitment to recognize and support women's individual and collective strength."

Rather than wearing Nike's swoosh at this year's Tokyo games, Simone — and the rest of the United States Olympic team — will be outfitted in uniforms made by GK Elite.
