Simone Biles shared on her Instagram story on February 23 while vacationing in South Africa, saying, “Everything I got, I earned, and everything I’m about to get, I deserve.” With 11 Olympic medals and a net worth of $25 million, she has the freedom to express her thoughts. However, the greatest gymnast is not just indulging in lavish spending; she is also making wise financial choices for her future.

Despite some calling Biles “flashy” for showcasing her luxury purchases, she remains focused on her life and investments. Currently, she has been constructing a mansion in Texas since 2023, which has a price tag of over $3 million and features a high-end kitchen and a massive two-story layout. Even while on vacation, she keeps her shopping instincts alive.

During her time in South Africa, she expressed a desire to purchase a home there, captioning a photo of a stunning ocean-view beach with palm trees and open land, saying, “Ugh, let’s just buy a house here.” Back in Texas, she is carefully curating the details of her mansion and recently spotted a unique ‘human face’ figurine at a farmers’ market in South Africa that she wished to take home.

However, she joked about the challenge of fitting it into her suitcase, saying, “I was trying to figure out how I was going to fit that piece in my suitcase!” She noted that the figurine was “Absolutely stunning, & I want it for the new house!” This shows her ambition to add unique touches to her new home, indicating that her $3 million mansion might just be the beginning.

Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, took time off their honeymoon to visit a local orphanage in South Africa. At one point, Owens shared a touching moment on Instagram, showing Biles gently patting a child back to sleep, admiring how natural she was with kids. Biles, who spent part of her own childhood in foster care, felt a connection with the children, understanding their struggles firsthand.

Owens later reflected on the experience, stating, “We’ll never forget this experience. Really puts things into perspective and makes you appreciative of everything you have.” Their honeymoon, filled with adventure and heartfelt moments, has been a whirlwind journey that they will cherish forever.
