Simone Biles Calls Out Paris Club for Attempting to Charge Her $26,000 for Champagne After Olympics
Simone Biles might take home gold but she’s not celebrating like it.
The Olympian detailed her final night at the Paris 2024 Games—where she took home three gold medals and a silver—revealing that a club in the French capital tried to charge her an eye-popping five-figure sum for her celebrations.
“We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics and I went,” Simone explained in an Aug. 20 TikTok video. “And after that we went out. You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Are you insane?”
And while Simone was ready to celebrate, she wasn’t about to throw away her cash.
“Obviously, I didn’t buy it,” she clarified. “But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild.”
The 27-year-old—who fronted team USA women’s gymnastics team along with Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera—acknowledged that her status as one of the greatest Olympians of all time can cause more than champagne problems.
