Simone Biles' Lavish Bag Splurges: A Decade of Designer Dreams
6 Jul
Summary
- Biles and Raisman bought Celine bags after making the 2016 Olympic team.
- She purchased an Hermès Birkin bag after her dominant 2024 Paris Olympics performance.
- A second Birkin bag, valued at $34,000, was bought in January 2025.
Gymnastics icon Simone Biles has a notable penchant for rewarding herself with luxury accessories, particularly designer handbags. Reflecting on past achievements, Biles shared on Instagram that she and former teammate Aly Raisman agreed to buy Celine bags if they qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics. This pact, documented in Biles's notes, highlights a decade-long tradition of self-celebration.
Her recent successes have also been marked by significant purchases. Following her remarkable performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she secured multiple medals, Biles acquired an Hermès Birkin bag. This was not her only recent acquisition; in January 2025, she purchased another Birkin bag.
This second Birkin, a brown iteration with white stitching and gold hardware, was bought in New York and retailed for $34,000. Biles documented the unboxing, humorously mentioning her husband Jonathan Owens provided emotional support during the splurge.
