Simone Biles came home from Paris with more baggage than she left with. She returned with three gold medals and one silver after an incredible performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now she has her prize: a new Mercedes-Benz G-Class to replace her old Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
“Out with the old, in with the new,” Simone Biles wrote on Instagram Stories once she received her brand new G-Class in her driveway. She was driving a matte black SUV and has now traded it in for a white one.
The gymnast took to Instagram to show off her new ride. Her brand-new G, a $150,000 bargain, one of the previous generations, is painted white, sports a contrasting black grille and wheels, and has a red leather interior. A Prada bag peeks out from the passenger seat.
Just a few days ago, we saw a plastic bag full of money and an Hermès bag in the passenger seat of Floyd Mayweather's Mercedes-AMG G 63 Brabus-tuned. Simone also received an Hermès bag from her parents as a reward for her work in Paris, but she hasn't shown it off on social media yet.
Simone's off-roader also features a bull bar. From the shots he shared on social media, it looks like his previous G also had one on the front.

She posed sitting on the hood and smiling. The G-Class has a huge white bow on the windshield, which could be a clue that the vehicle was a gift. But it doesn't say anything about it. “In with the new,” she wrote in the caption of the photo, also using a heart emoji.
It looks like a G 550, powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, capable of developing 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, allowing this boxy off-roader to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.
One of the photos uploaded by Simone Biles to Instagram shows a two-tone Mercedes-Maybach S-Class luxury sedan, suggesting that she might have a soft spot for the German brand.
This is how she celebrates a triumphant participation in the Paris Olympics. The 27-year-old Simone is the most decorated gymnast in history and one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. She has 11 Olympic medals and 30 world medals in her homeland.
Speaking of which, Simone and her husband, NFL star Johnathan Owens, will soon be moving into a new home in Texas, which is currently under construction. The gymnast has regularly shared updates on the progress of the property. Now, she’s announcing to her 12.7 million followers that the mansion will be ready in a couple of months.
