Simone Biles Reveals How Much A Paris Club Wanted To Charge For Champagne—And It’s ‘Wild’

Simone Biles may be racking up gold medals, but she’s not exactly popping bottles to celebrate—at least, not ones that cost more than a car.

The 27-year-old gymnastics legend spilled some tea on TikTok, revealing that a Parisian nightclub tried to charge her a jaw-dropping $26,000 for a single bottle of bubbly after the Olympics wrapped up last week.

“After the closing ceremonies, we went out, and y’all, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne,” Biles shared in her August 20 TikTok video. “Like, are you serious? Obviously, I didn’t buy it. But why would they even try to play me like that? That’s wild.”

Biles didn’t name the club, but the internet had her back, with tons of comments echoing her disbelief. One person summed it up perfectly: “$26k is crazy.”

Partying aside, Biles also participated in the closing ceremonies for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, where she had the honor of carrying the Olympic Flag. She passed it off to none other than Tom Cruise, symbolizing the handover to the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

Alongside several snaps from the once-in-a-lifetime moment, Biles wrote, “Such an honor. I haven’t found the right words to describe my Olympic experience—it’s been a whirlwind… but I do know I’ll be forever grateful to represent the United States.”

Biles wrapped up her 2024 Paris Olympic journey in spectacular fashion, bringing home three gold medals, one silver, and even breaking a record.
