Exclusive: Biles flaunts her Birkins, Range Rover and Texas mansion – but the $25Million Olympic gymnast has given no hand outs to her penniless birth mom who works as a cashier to make ends meet…see more
With seven Olympic gold medals, over two dozen world championships, and multiple endorsement deals under her belt, Simone Biles is now one of the most decorated – and highly paid – female athletes in the world.
The mom and daughter remain estranged and have little to no contact. Simone has consistently refused to reconcile with the woman who abandoned in childhood her decades ago.
Nor, it seems has the Olympic star offered any financial assistance.
‘Of course I would accept her help,’ Shanon told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. ‘She hasn’t [offered] it so far. I’m here. I’m okay.’
Simone was shuffled through foster homes before her grandfather Ron Biles and his second wife Nellie adopted her as a six-year-old.
Now, an accomplished Olympic athlete, she hasn’t been shy about showing off what her prodigious talent has brought her, sharing videos and snaps treating herself to a luxury shopping spree to celebrate her successful performance at the Games this past month.
She was even forced to respond to comments from online trolls criticizing her for flaunting her wealth this week after she was seen with an Hermès handbag.
Simone clarified that the purse had actually been a gift in a cheeky Threads post on Wednesday saying: ‘My parents bought me my Hermès bag. Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents.’

The 52-year-old, who was forced to give up her children due to her long-running battle with drugs and alcohol, is now sober but has struggled financially, living in the same corner red-brick row house in the crime-ridden neighborhood of Franklinton.
Shanon initially lost her four children – Simone is the third – to foster care and then to adoption when Ron and Nellie took Simone and her sister Adria to live with them in Texas.
Her two eldest children Tevin, now 29 and Ashley, now 34, were taken in by Ron’s sister.
Since then, she has racked up a string of debts as well as offenses that have seen her in and out of the courts for three decades.
According to a Chapter Seven bankruptcy petition filed in October 2018, Shanon said she didn’t have a dollar to her name and just $34 on a prepaid card.
Among her assets were two unusable cars – a totaled Toyota Scion XB 2008 and a non-roadworthy GMC Sierra 2003 – worth a combined $2,125.
She also claimed homeware, electronics, clothes, shoes and jewelry worth $9,650 and even listed her dog, cat, and guinea pig.
Shanon claimed that her home was worth just $9,684.
She owed $14,234 to 21 companies, including medical and financial services, shopping websites, and a $3,834 student loan.
Shanon also reported that she earned $1,688-a-month, with expenses totaling $1,685.
The debt was eventually cleared in February the following year after striking an agreement to repay her main creditor, finance firm Integrity Funding Ohio LLC, in installments.
But the money problems have continued, with Shanon being sued by debt collecting agency LVNV Funding LLC in 2021 with a judgement against her to pay off $916.25.
Despite installments being collected through her wages she was still paying it off up to December 2023.
Shanon spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com this week, in the wake of her daughter’s stellar performance.
She admitted that she lives in hope for the day Simone reaches out so she can ask her daughter for forgiveness for the past she cannot change.
‘It was hard to give up my kids, but I had to do what I had to do. I wasn’t able to care for them. I was still using and [my father] didn’t want me coming in and out of their lives when I wasn’t right,’ she explained to DailyMail.com.
And she has told of her sadness that, to this day, she has no part in major life events such as Simone’s wedding last year to Owens.
She said: ‘I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I’m just waiting for her and Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone.
‘I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.’
Today Shanon is clean and sober, but she says very clearly: ‘I am a recovering addict and will always be an addict.
