In 2022, Simone ranked tenth on Forbes‘ list of the world’s highest-paid female athletes.

She’s signed lucrative deals with Subway and Powerade, and she has her own signature activewear collection with Athleta. According to Forbes, Simone raked in roughly $10 million from brand deals in 2022 alone.

But that doesn’t mean that she’ll sign with just anyone. “I’m very picky about the brands I work with,” she told Health in 2019 (via Style Caster). “Instead of just creating a product, they have to connect with a wider community and have an impact.” Simone Biles of Team United States practices on the balance beam during a gymnastics training session ahead of the Paris Olympic Games at Gymnastic Training Centre of Le Bourget on July 23, 2024 in Le Bourget, France.

These days, she’s said to be in top form and raring to compete. If the fierce way that Simone defends her teammates is any indication, she’s definitely ready for battle.

The world will be watching, and if Simone is able to add to her already massive collection of gold medals (seven and counting) then the brands are sure to come calling. Whatever the case, this is an opportunity for Simone to silence the haters and cement her place as the most dominant gymnast of her era.
