Simone Biles was taken aback when a Parisian nightclub attempted to charge her a whopping $26,000 for one bottle of champagne following the 2024 Olympics.
“We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics.” “I went, and then we went out,” Biles, 27, said in a TikTok video posted Monday. “You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of Champagne.”
The Olympic gymnast admitted that she “obviously” did not buy the pricey alcohol.
“We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics.” “I went, and then we went out,” Biles explained in a video posted Monday.

“Like, are you insane?” she inquired. “Obviously, I didn’t purchase it. But why would you even attempt to play me like that? “That’s wild.”
Her supporters agreed that the membership fee was a steep amount for a single bottle of alcohol and swamped the comments area of her article with feedback.
“$26K is crazy omg,” one user replied with a crying-face emoji.
“$26K??? That’s outrageous,” another user concurred, with a third noting, “$26K just made me upset cause what?!”
“Was it L’Arc?? 😭,” another person asked, referring to an upmarket disco club in Paris with a champagne buffet.
Biles did not reveal the name of the club where the incident occurred, despite posting images clubbing with her sister inside L’Arc after the Olympics ended last week.
“The reason I’m unwell this morning,” Biles captioned a photo of a bottle parade at the venue, complete with champagne, sparkles, a placard that read, “Gym Legend Simone Biles @L’Arc Paris” and another one that read, “God 4 Life.”
While Biles thought spending that type of money was entirely unnecessary, her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, spent a lot of money to commemorate their daughter becoming the most decorated gymnast of all time.

Simone uploaded images from the Hermès store in Paris, later revealing that her parents got her a purse from the French fashion house to commemorate her 2024 Paris Olympics victory.
“My parents bought me my Hermes bag 🥰,” she said on Threads last week. “don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents.”
This year, the athlete won three gold medals in the women’s artistic solo all-around, women’s artistic team all-around, and women’s vault events, as well as one bronze medal in the women’s floor routine.
She effectively became the most decorated gymnast in history, with 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals.
