“Everything I got, I earned, and everything I’m about to get, I deserve.” That’s what Simone Biles shared on her Instagram story on February 23 while vacationing in South Africa. After all, if you have 11 Olympic medals and a net worth of $25 million, you can say whatever you want. But despite this, the greatest gymnast isn’t just enjoying wild cash splurges. She is making some wise financial choices for her future.
But she’s too busy living her best life to care. Meanwhile, she’s been building a mansion in Texas since 2023. She even said, “I cannot deal anymore.” Funny, because not only is she dealing just fine but then some more. She’s already thinking about making even bigger investments.
Well, Simone Biles has touched down in South Africa with her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens. But even on vacation, she’s got home decor on the brain! Her custom Texas mansion, which she’s been working on since 2023, is almost finished. And let’s just say she and Owens have spared no expense.
With a high-end kitchen, a massive two-story layout, and a price tag of over $3 million, it’s a serious investment. But hey, just because she’s across the globe doesn’t mean the shopping stops—because when Simone Biles sees something she likes, best believe she’s taking it home and now she’s even been wishing for something expensive!
While soaking up the beauty of South Africa, Simone Biles had a thought—why not make this paradise a little more permanent? She shared an Instagram post standing near a breathtaking ocean-view beach, surrounded by palm trees, a cozy little house, and a stretch of open land just waiting to be claimed. “Ugh, let’s just buy a house here,” she captioned.
Back home, she’s still adding the final touches to her $3 million Texas mansion, carefully curating every detail but even with one dream home in the works, she’s already daydreaming about the next. But in doing so, she is not forgetting to make her Texas house beautiful. While browsing a farmers’ market in South Africa on February 22, she spotted a unique ‘human face’ figurine at a tiny roadside market tent and immediately had to have it.
The problem? Fitting it in her suitcase. “I was trying to figure out how I was going to fit that piece in my suitcase!” she joked. She even wrote, “Absolutely stunning, & I want it for the new house!” It looks like her $3 million mansion is just the beginning—Biles is already thinking about adding even more unique touches. Even as she indulges in the luxuries she’s worked hard for, Simone remains committed to giving back, always finding ways to support children in need and make a lasting impact.
Simone Biles and Owens make a difference in South Africa
On February 19, Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles hit pause on their honeymoon fun to spend some time at a local orphanage. But if that wasn’t sweet enough, just wait. At one point, Owens caught Biles gently patting a child back to sleep. And it seems he couldn’t help but admire how natural she was with kids.
He even shared the moment on Instagram, writing, “Simone patting him back to sleep. She’s such a natural [emoji].” And honestly, it makes sense. Biles spent part of her own childhood in foster care. And Biles knows exactly what it’s like to grow up without a stable home. Maybe that’s why she felt so drawn to these kids—because she’s been in their shoes before.
The visit clearly hit home for both of them. Owens later shared another post, saying, “We’ll never forget this experience [emoji]. Really puts things into perspective and makes you appreciative of everything you have.” Between the romance, the adventures, and moments like this, their long-overdue honeymoon has been a whirlwind of emotions. It took them two years to finally take this trip. But something tells us it’ll be one they never forget.
