Simone Biles, Who Broke US Record, Came Under Fire for Saying She Needed ‘Sugar Daddy’ Despite $16M Wealth

• Simone Biles is a phenomenal athlete and a record-holder American gymnast.
• She recently set another record after a two-year break from gymnastics.
• People hilariously mocked Biles for her comment about needing a sugar daddy.

Simone Biles was born on March 14, 1997, and grew up in Spring, Texas. She is an American gymnast and a great athlete who was captivated by the sport at the age of six after a daycare field trip to Bannon's Gymnastix, a gymnastics center in Texas. She has since grown to become one of the sport's greatest athletes.

In the 2016 Olympics held in Rio de Janeiro, Biles showcased her prowess and became the first female U.S. gymnast to win four gold medals at a single Games. She also became the first gymnast to win three consecutive world all-around titles from 2013 to 2015.

Biles has managed to dominate gymnastics due to her consistency, energetic personality, and the intense difficulty she included in her routines. These qualities have enabled her to be a first in many aspects of gymnastics.

In her first year in senior competition in 2013, Biles won the all-around title at her first world gymnastics champions and became the first African American woman to hold the title. She has since been bagging medals in all four events, including vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

After a two-year mental health break from gymnastics, Biles recently made a comeback where she dominated the U.S. Championship on August 27, 2023. Her wins assured her fans that she was back in the game.

What Record Did Simone Biles Break Recently?

Biles won her record 8th U.S. Championships on August 27, 2023. This win marked the superstar athlete's return to gymnastics after dropping out of the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health.

The gymnast got an all-around total score of 118.40 over the two-day event. At 26 years old, Biles became the oldest gymnast to win the U.S. Championships after an impeccable performance throughout the weekend.

Throughout the years of her career, Biles has bagged millions of dollars, which made online users say she was her own sugar daddy.

When Biles backed out of the Tokyo Olympics, critics accused her of bailing on her teammates. On March 2023, Biles was also hilariously mocked after she posted on X, formerly Twitter, that she needed a "sugar daddy."

The gymnast shared this post after coming back from a lavish bachelorette party in Belize. People thought the post was in bad taste because they knew she is worth $16 million while her husband, Houston Texans NFL player Jonathan Owens, is worth $7 million.

One person told Biles her post was so "disrespectful" to her husband, while another individual asked her why she was talking about having a sugar daddy yet she was a "married woman." An online user called out Biles:

"Yeah, you shouldn't have posted this lol you made your hubby sound like he's broke. When I'm sure he's not. Lol."

One fan told Biles if she was broke, she should have gotten married to "men with money," while another said Biles was a "multimillionaire" and shouldn't be complaining about credit cards but should pay cash for everything. An internet user weighed in:

"Like ppl said when the olympics were going on, and she couldn't handle the pressure. No one wanted to believe she was a divas. Look what she did to the teammate that had to cover for her in events. This is teue colors showing, spoiled brat, diva.[sic]"

Throughout the years of her career, Biles has bagged millions of dollars, which made online users say she was her own sugar daddy. However, most of her earnings do not come from her gymnastics career but from lucrative sponsorship deals where Biles partnered with companies such as Uber Eats, Nike, and Hershey.
