Paying over $20k for a single bottle of champagne is extravagant, even for someone who took home three gold medals and a silver at the Olympics.
Simone Biles said a Paris nightclub tried to scam her by charging $26,000 for a bottle following the Olympic closing ceremony.
The iconic gymnast shared the story via a “get ready with me” TikTok video posted on Tuesday (August 20).

“Obviously, I didn’t buy it. But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild,” said the 11-time Olympic medalist.
“And I don’t know. Sometimes, the attention, I’d rather not have it. I’d rather just be as normal as possible…I don’t know.”
Still, she wasn’t going to pay $26,000 for a bottle of champagne—not even during a euphoric post-Olympic celebration

Though the 27-year-old didn’t reveal the name of the club, she shared pictures of her and her sister Adria Biles having a night out at L’Arc, a Parisian nightclub, after the closing ceremony.
Simone posted a photo of her private table with bottle service, writing, “The reason I’m unwell this morning.”

The most decorated gymnast in American history also revealed her busy schedule for the upcoming months, including plans to support her husband, Chicago Bears player Jonathan Owens, at his games and touring the country.
“I’m not sure how many games I’ll be able to make because, in a few weeks, we will go on tour.
“I think, right now, we’re doing about 32 stops [on the tour].”
She’s now getting ready to headline the Gold Over America Tour, which will kick off September 17 and visit 30 cities in the US
The pop concert-type show is described on its website as “an exhilarating display of jaw-dropping athleticism and high-energy choreography with an inspirational message of hope, strength, resilience, and determination.”
The spectacle is approximately 110 minutes long, including intermission, and it will stop at 30 cities in the US.
