Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens may boast a combined net worth of $27 million, but the lion’s share of this wealth belongs to the Olympic champion.

Biles, hailed as one of the greatest gymnasts ever, has earned her fortune through an illustrious career that includes 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. At just 27, she is already the most decorated gymnast in history. Since turning pro in 2015, Biles has reaped significant financial rewards, amassing a net worth of $25 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

In addition to being one of the highest-paid Olympic athletes globally, Biles also earns substantial income from endorsements and sponsorships. Ahead of the postponed 2020 games, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist was the most-endorsed U.S. athlete, pulling in an estimated $20 million from various deals.

As a highly-decorated famous gymnast, Biles’ image and name carry significant value in the advertising world. Forbes estimated in 2021 that she earns at least $5 million annually in endorsements, which constitutes the bulk of her yearly income.

In 2022, Forbes reported that Biles made roughly $10 million, while in 2023, that figure dipped slightly to $7.1 million. Despite this, she remains one of the highest-paid female athletes worldwide, reports the Irish Star.

U.S. Olympic medalists are awarded $37,500 for gold, $22,500 for silver, and $15,000 for bronze. With her seven golds, two silvers, and two bronzes from the Olympics, Biles would have pocketed $337,500 just from her victories, a fraction of what she earns from endorsements.

Her NFL star husband Owens is also not short on cash. Now in his second year with the Chicago Bears, the 29 year old has made a decent amount of money since turning pro seven years ago, starting his career with the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, and Green Bay Packers.

While his accomplishments may not match those of his wife, Owens has still had a profitable career, accumulating a total net worth of $2 million, as per his Celebrity Net Worth profile. Most of this comes from his NFL contracts, which often exceed the $1 million mark.

In December 2021, Owens inked a two-year, $1.175 million contract with the Texans, before moving on in May 2023 to sign a one-year, $1.01 million contract with the Packers. Last year, the safety signed a two-year, $4.75 million contract with the Bears, which included a $750,000 signing bonus, $1.5 million guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $2.375 million.

Owens, already a star in the sports world and named one of People magazine’s “Sexiest Men in Sports,” is raising his profile further with lucrative brand endorsements. His marriage to gymnastics superstar Simone Biles hasn’t hurt either.

Together, they’re power players in real estate, too. This March, Owens and Biles have been busy building their dream custom $3 million waterfront mansion in Spring, Texas.

The abode boasts four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, fancy frills like a mirrored ceiling, freestanding bathtub, and vast shower—not to mention an upper-level balcony. Besides having a home gym, game room, theater, and wet bar, their driveway showcases an enviable collection of luxury cars for the couple

Golden Wings, Golden Rings! And with this, Simone Biles continues her safari of love. After conquering gravity in Tokyo, the legendary Olympian is now busy conquering hearts. And we love it! The gymnastics queen and her NFL knight, Jonathan Owens, traded chalk dust for South African stardust on a honeymoon that sent Instagram into a collective swoon. And just as fans caught their breath, Biles dropped a teasing whisper of adventures yet to come—a cryptic promise that this golden couple’s story has only begun its first chapter.

Where to next for America’s royalty? The Mediterranean’s embrace? A Pacific island’s kiss? One thing is certain—Biles and Owens are far from done making unforgettable memories. And sure enough, Biles set the internet buzzing yet again with a simple six-word Instagram story. “Never in one place too long 😍.” The post, featuring a breathtaking view of the ocean below, instantly had fans speculating. Where to next?

She seems to be embracing every moment, proving that after years of dedication to her sport, she’s finally prioritizing herself and her marriage. This comes just weeks after she and Jonathan Owens jetted off on their long-awaited honeymoon on February 15, two years after saying “I do.”

Just look at how much these two were soaking in every second of their long-overdue romantic trip. On February 25, Biles shared a stunning Instagram post straight out of a travel magazine. Think of towering mountains, a shimmering pool, and Biles herself, effortlessly glowing in a red bikini, white shirt, and sunglasses. “What day is it?” she captioned. When you’re on a honeymoon which is this perfect, who needs a calendar? And as if that wasn’t enough, she has doubled this down now!

Posting yet another worthy moment has proved that their relationship is a fairytale. Simone Biles then blessed Instagram with a honeymoon photo dump that had fans captivated. From a stunning blue dress moment in Franschhoek, Western Cape, to romantic wine toasts with Jonathan Owens, every shot was pure perfection. Even if it’s an entirely new adventure, the power couple is already on to their next adventure!

The history-making Olympic gymnast shared a glimpse into the couple’s Valentine’s Day celebrations

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens amped up the romance this week.

On Friday, the couple marked their second Valentine’s Day together since tying the knot almost two years ago.

The history-making Olympian and the football player first met through dating app Raya shortly before the pandemic in 2020, and got engaged in February of 2022. They tied the knot with two weddings, one in Houston in April 2023 and another in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the following month.

Following their Valentine’s Day celebrations, Simone took to Instagram and shared a sweet glimpse into them with fans.

She started off with a photo of her wearing a silky, baby pink dress and long braids, holding a large bouquet of massive white roses, followed by one of Jonathan wearing a colorful printed shirt.

The gymnast also included a photo of the roses laid down on a bed, plus a snap of Jonathan as the two enjoyed a lunch with mimosas, and lastly another photo of her holding the epic bouquet.

“Valentine’s day,” she simply wrote in her caption, and fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, though first Jonathan himself wrote: “Had the most amazing day with you,” alongside a red heart emoji.

Others followed suit with: “You look stunning! I love your dress,” and: “You look so beautiful and wonderful!!!” as well as: “The hair, the dress, you look stunning,” plus another added: “You are so beautiful.”

It’s a special, lowkey time for Simone and Jonathan, who are both on a break from their respective sports.

Simone was also recently celebrated at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year event, honoring her history-making performance at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, which came after a two-year break. For the special moment, she had her husband  by her side, plus her parents, Nellie and Ronald Biles, as well as former teammate Aly Raisman.

As for what’s next, Simone has not confirmed retirement from the Olympics, but she previously told Sports Illustrated that it felt “greedy” to compete for more. “I’ve accomplished so much, there’s almost nothing left to do, rather than to just be snobby and to try again and for what? I’m at a point in my career where I’m humble enough to know when to be done,” she said.

“If you go back, you’ll be greedy. Those are the consequences,” she further noted, adding: “But that’s also your decision to decide. What sacrifices would be made if I go back now? When you’re younger, it’s like, prom, college. Now it’s like, starting a family, being away from my husband. What’s really worth it?”

Simone Biles is happily in love with her husband Jonathan Owens.

The 11-time Olympic gold medalist, 27, shared a series of photos alongside her husband, the Chicago Bears safety, 29, on Instagram Wednesday, Oct. 2. She sweetly captioned the post: “struck gold with this one 🫶🏾.”

The photos seem to have been taken during Biles’ Gold Over America TourMilwaukee stop on Saturday, Sept. 28 — where Owens surprised her! She is currently headlining the tour along with Team USA gymnasts Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, Fred Richard and more in a gymnastics competition-meets-concert experience.

Meanwhile, she joined Owens in Chicago the next day for her tour’s evening performance and the Bears’ game against the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. (The Bears defeated the Rams 24-18.)

The gymnast’s post began with a photo of her kissing Owens on the field during a recent game. Biles also sported Chicago Bears apparel, including a white mini skirt and the Balenciaga duty-free tote bag. The final slide of the Instagram carousel included a video of the couple’s cute kiss.

In the next photo, Owens is seen supporting his wife at her sporting events. Biles posed in a shimmery leotard, seemingly in a backstage green room. Owens sported a Gallery Dept. stadium uniform shirt in white, which he also wore in the last two photos.

One image showed a selfie of the married couple, with Owens seen hugging the smiling gymnast from behind while kissing her on the cheek.

In another shot, Biles and Owens embrace as the gold medalist looks lovingly up at her husband, who smiles for the camera. Biles wore a white satin corset top.

I ‘ve accomplished way more than in my wildest dreams.” 6 months have flown by, but the memories from August 2024, when Simone Biles brought home 4 Olympic medals and voiced these words, are as clear as day. And she has lived life on the go in the past 6 months! From touring across 30 arenas in the country for a month and a half with her Gold Other America Tour team to hopping on flight rides to visit her husband Jonathan Owens‘ NFL games, she’s probably changed suitcase after suitcase.

Yet, she’s never hesitated to hop on that private jet and fly miles, be it just to spend Thanksgiving with Owens or to reach Georgia to support her former coach Cecile Landi’s new coaching stint and vacation with her husband. And amid this career-high full of medals and personal milestones, an ecstatic Biles seems to have missed a rather ordinary chore. But hey, at least she’s being honest about it in her confessional!

Simone Biles & Aly Raisman to Make SI Swimsuit Issue Debut

Clearly, Biles has not had a second to breathe! let alone unpack her Paris Olympics luggage! Yes, you read that right! In an Instagram story posted by Simone Biles on February 7, we see a navy blue suitcase stacked with a pile of clothes lying in a corner, on the floor, probably wondering if it’s been abandoned for good. Accompanying it is a pair of white shoes and a sincere confession in the caption, by the 11x Olympic medalist that reads, “Im truly ashamed to admit that I still have not unpacked one of my suitcases from the olympics……….” However, the gymnast adds a small clarification, “*all clean clothes but still.”

Well, we can let this pass as an honest mistake. After all, we know how busy Simone Biles has been of late. We also know that it’s her nature to be usually particular with packing and managing her luggage. Remember in 2022, she’d told Travel + Leisure how she would carefully number her bags for each day of her travel? “I used to put outfits in plastic bags and write ‘Day 1,’ ‘Day 2,’ or whatever, and that was my packing hack.” Biles had confessed. But then she switched to the vacuum-seal bags and further elevated her packing game.

Although we do know that Simone Biles is also a self-confessed overpacker. “My clothes are so little, so I have more space, so I tend to overpack,” she had said in 2022, nearly laughing over her habit. And honestly? It’s stuff like this that makes her so relatable to her fans. She’s so transparent and just herself on social media that she even posted about not having had the time to unpack her Paris Olympics suitcase! Or remember the time during Christmas when she’d confessed that she’s horrible at wrapping gifts?

Clearly, Simone Biles is the one to look at for learning to be graceful about accepting your shortcomings or slip-ups! And that’s both on and off the mats! At the Paris Olympics, Biles had a fall during the beam individual medal event, which stripped her of the chance of a third consecutive medal. But the way she owned her mistake and continued the routine to get a 13.100 total made her an exemplar. But all these talks aside for now, as she’s just returned from another relaxing vacation with her husband, Jonathan Owens. Here’s where they’d been to!

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens on their endless vacation sprees

Yes, Simone Biles has been traveling so often lately that she might as well have her own set of wings! In January 2025, we saw her travel to the heart of Europe for a Swiss vacation with her husband. “Taking trips with your best friend >>” not just Jonathan Owens but also Biles feels that’s their favorite thing to do. And now, in February, they added another stop to their travel diary, although they made it back just in time before Valentine’s Day!

As per the latest update, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are back home from their time in Miami. Biles just shared an Instagram story showing off their private jet ride home, captioned simply, “back home [emoji].” While their Miami trip may have been short, it was definitely sweet. She even posted a stunning ocean view with the caption, “Nothing like waking up to the beach.”

Truly, the two are spending as much time together as possible before their sports seasons begin and it gets hectic again. But for now, that time is over, and it’s back home from the getaway!

Photographed by Shaniqwa Jarvis, Biles looked sexy in a snakeskin ensemble featuring a textured silhouette and thumbholes. Biles accessorized with hoop earrings for the image, and a funky brown-and-white nail design.

Elsewhere in her photo shoot, Biles looked extra glamorous in a sheer plunging halter bodysuit and structured skirt by David Kona. The piece featured a pleated design that snatched at her was it, a wired rum and more see-through fabric that cascaded down her legs.

While chatting with Sports Illustrated, Biles opened up about competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics after dropping out of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, sharing, “You kind of have to go up there and tell yourself, I’m a boss ass bitch.”

During the Olympics, Biles earned three gold medals and one silver medal, making her the most decorated gymnast in history.

“The world is going to hate me,” said Simone Biles on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast in April 2024. The 11x Olympic medalist had the reaction recalling her Tokyo Olympic “twisties” episode. Simone made a brave decision to withdraw from the competition to protect her mental health and started a revolution. But her courageous act was met with hate. She couldn’t escape the accusatory comments of her fans, many going so far as calling her a “quitter”. However, amid the relentless criticism, there was some respite.

We're Doing Back Flips Because Simone Biles Is Back for SI Swimsuit 2019!

Athletes from across the world extended their solidarity to the 27-year-old and praised her courage for triggering a conversation around mental health awareness. “I am really proud of her for prioritizing mental health and making sure that everyone knows and understands that we’re not just athletes,” said Sam Mikulak after competing in the men’s all-around final at the Tokyo Olympics. A certain athlete has recently shared her feelings about the incident and what’s more? three and a half years later, praises for the G.O.A.T are still coming!

On February 5th, ‘Olympics.com’ posted a  video of about 2:41 minutes of Anna Gasser, the Austrian snowboarder. A compilation of snippets from Gasser’s life and snowboarding career, it also featured an interview of the 33-year-old. “I was feeling with her really like the whole time in Tokyo. I was like, Oh my god, this must be the worst,” mentioned the 2022 Beijing Olympic Champion. Well, Anna had her obvious reason to resonate with Simone. Snowboarding also requires the athlete to defy gravity and be in the air. Losing control could be nightmarish.

The 2019 PyeongChang Olympic Champion herself mentioned, “The scariest thing ever to happen to me is getting lost in air, and sometimes it’s happening… It’s like losing control, and you can’t do anything. Like, that’s the most scared I am when I’m snowboarding, that I lose control in the air.” An athlete herself, Anna understands the importance of mind and body being in sync. Moreover, belonging to the world of sports, Gasser knows how very few athletes have come forward to share their experiences about mental health struggles. She cannot help but admire the champion gymnast for prioritizing her mental health and more importantly, speaking up about it. “I’m so happy that Simone brought that to a point, how important it is that your brain works with your body. Your body alone cannot do the trick; it also has to be your head,” said Anna.

Michael Phelps once revealed that Simone Biles’ struggles with “the twisties” had left him “broken hearted” following on from her withdrawal from events at the 2020 Olympics.

Biles, an American icon, now stands boasts a staggering as 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals – making her the most decorated gymnast in history. Her remarkable record is made all the more compelling, with the 27-year-old having faced adversity at points during her career – not least during her time at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Having earned an incredible four gold medals in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, expectations were high for Biles coming into the next Games in the Japanese capital. However, the star from Spring, Texas withdrew from much of the 2020 Olympics – earning two silver medals in the team and floor exercise events.

Her decision to pull out of the vault, uneven bars, floor exercise, and individual all-around competitions in Tokyo came as a result of her battle with “the twisties”. Biles described “the twisties” as the “strangest, weirdest feeling”, explaining that she could simply not “tell up from down” while airborne.

As a result, the storied competitor felt she had no option but to withdraw from a host of events. She explained: “It’s the craziest feeling ever. I don’t think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface. Nor do I have to explain why I put health first. Physical health is mental health.”

Biles received criticism from some quarters for her call but legendary swimmer Phelps – the most decorated Olympian of all-time – was on hand to defend his compatriot. He later reacted on NBC: “It broke my heart but also, if you look at it, mental health over the last 18 months is something a lot of people are talking about.

Olympic gold: Simone Biles' 'redemption tour' only scratches the surface of  her story

“The Olympics is overwhelming. The easiest way for me to say this is athletes, and Olympic athletes in general — we need someone who we can trust, somebody that can let us be ourselves and listen. Allow us to become vulnerable. Somebody who’s not going to try to fix us. We carry a lot of weight on our shoulders, and it’s challenging.”

Biles stated on Instagram that she was “[feeling] the weight of the world on [her] shoulders”, before reinforcing her commitment to putting her “mental health first” as she withdrew from the team event at the Games, saying: “You don’t, then you’re not going to enjoy your sport and you’re not going to succeed as much as you want to.

“So it’s OK sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are — rather than just battle through it.”

Reflecting on Biles’ decision Phelps praised his fellow Olympian, adding: “We’re human beings. Nobody is perfect. It’s okay to not be okay, to go through ups and downs. The biggest thing is we all need to ask for help. I can say personally it was very challenging. It was hard for me to ask for help. I felt like I was carrying, as Simone said, the weight of the world on my shoulders. It’s a tough situation.”

After her triumphant performances at the summer Games in Paris over the summer as she earned gold medals in the vault, all-around and team events, the American gymnastics hero said of the experience: “There’s such high expectations on me that I’m supposed to win, so whenever I do win or get whatever medal that is, I feel relief off my shoulder like, ‘I did it. I’m done. Let’s move on to the next’.”

Simone Biles started 2024 with one mission: proving she’s not just a gymnast, she’s a living legend. When the Paris Olympics came around, she didn’t just compete—she took over, winning three golds and a silver. While she was at it, she also led the Gold Over America Tour, spreading her magic across the country. Even she was one of the highest-paid female athletes of 2024! No big deal. But is it all? Nope! If you haven’t watched her Netflix documentary Simone Biles: Rising, you’re missing out on the full backstage pass to her flipping, flying, and conquering life’s challenges like she was born in mid-air. With all she’s already done, Simone kicked off 2025 on an even higher note with new achievements.

Well, we know Simone Biles: Rising isn’t just another sports documentary—it’s a front-row seat to the ups, downs, and insane resilience of the greatest gymnast of all time. It dives into everything: the struggles, the mental battles, and the less-glamorous side of gymnastics that most people don’t see. But through it all, Simone does what she does best—she rises.

And let’s not forget her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, who’s the emotional support, standing by her side through all the pressure. If you’re a gymnastics fan (or just love a good comeback story), chances are you’ve already watched it—or, let’s be real, maybe even cried through it. So, does this docuseries deserve an award?

And now, the docuseries just scored a major win of its own. Yes! At the 2025 PGA Awards, Simone Biles: Rising took home the award for Outstanding Sports Program, proving that Simone isn’t just dominating the gymnastics world—she’s taking over Hollywood too. The announcement came at the PGA’s East Coast celebration in New York City, where the docuseries beat out some tough competition, including Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants. Safe to say, Simone just flipped her way past race cars and football players to yet another podium finish. But that’s not all!

Michael Phelps ‘rescued’ Simone Biles at her most difficult moment with a message that was the best help to Jonathan Owens

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, has long been an advocate for mental health awareness in sports. His words gained even more weight following Simone Biles‘ shocking withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, a moment that sparked a global conversation about the immense pressure on elite athletes.

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the greatest gymnasts in history, was forced to step away from competition during the women’s team finals due to a mental block known as “the twisties.”

This condition causes gymnasts to lose their sense of awareness in midair, making even the most routine moves extremely dangerous.

After an uncharacteristically shaky vault routine, Biles chose to withdraw, prioritizing her well-being over competition. While many applauded her bravery, others were quick to label her a quitter-a reaction that ignited passionate debates about the mental health struggles of athletes on the world stage.

Phelps, who has openly discussed his own mental health battles, quickly came to Biles‘ defense, calling for greater understanding and support for athletes facing similar struggles.

Phelps’ advice

Speaking to NBC in July 2021, Phelps emphasized how overwhelming the Olympic experience can be and stressed the importance of allowing athletes to be vulnerable without judgment.

“The Olympics is overwhelming. The easiest way for me to say this is athletes, and Olympic athletes in general-we need someone who we can trust, somebody that can let us be ourselves and listen,” Phelps said.

“Allow us to become vulnerable. Somebody who’s not going to try to fix us. We carry a lot of weight on our shoulders, and it’s challenging.”

The 23-time gold medalist understands the struggle firsthand. Over the years, Phelps has spoken about his own battles with depression and anxiety, revealing how he hit rock bottom multiple times.

His struggles even led to multiple DUI arrests before he finally sought professional help and found a way to turn his life around.
