Born in Columbus, Ohio, on March 14, 1997, Simone Biles started her gymnastics odyssey at only six years old and her journey was destined for greatness from the start.
Simone Biles age
Biles, who will be competing in the Olympics for the third time, is 27 years old.
In Paris, she could become the oldest women’s all-around champion since 1952, the oldest American to win a medal in women’s gymnastics since 1948 and the oldest American woman to ever win a gold medal in gymnastics.
What is Simone Biles’ net worth?
Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history with her now nine Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. How much has she earned from that success?
A huge portion of Biles’ net worth comes from endorsements or brand deals rather than from her career earnings. While some Olympians can make tens of thousands of dollars from their success in a given Olympic Games, the salary for most Olympic athletes does not compare to that of the NFL or MLB.
So while Biles’ success in her sport hasn’t earned her an outstanding salary, it has earned her plenty of brand partnerships willing to pay in the millions of dollars.

Celebritynetworth.com estimates that Biles’ net worth is $20 million.
The site also says that around the time of the 2020 Tokyo Games, “Biles was the highest-paid Olympic athlete in terms of endorsements.” It estimates that the gold medalist earned “at least” $20 million from brand deals between 2019 and 2021.

How much money does Biles win for a gold medal?
According to CNBC, the United States Olympic Committee pays athletes tens of thousands of dollars for finishing on the podium in an event.
Gold medal winners get $38,000; silver medalists get $23,000 and bronze winners get $15,000.
Biles already has earned $38,000 with her women’s team gymnastics gold medal this year and will compete in the all-around final against fellow American Suni Lee at 12:15 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Simone Biles height and weight
On her profile page on the official Team USA website, Biles is listed at 4-foot-8.
While elite gymnasts are typically smaller, Biles is short even among that group. Four of the past five women to win the Olympic all-around gold medal, all of them Americans, have been at least 5 feet tall, a group that includes 5-foot-3 Nastia Liukin and 5-foot-2 Gabrielle Douglas.
How high can Simone Biles jump?
Though exceptional verticality is often associated with tall, rangy NBA players who fly through the air to throw down dunks or swat shots, there are few American athletes who display it quite as breathtakingly as Biles.
During her floor exercise routine at the 2024 US Olympic Gymnastics Trials in June, the top of Biles’ head got as high as 12 feet above the surface on one of her jumps. According to ESPN, that leap would have been high enough for her to jump over San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama, who, at 7-foot-4, is the tallest player in the NBA.
