The Olympic gymnast shared a TikTok video in which she claimed a club in Paris tried to charge her a whopping $26,000 for a single bottle of champagne after the Olympics closing ceremony.

Ooh la, la, c'est cher!

US Olympic gymnast Simon Biles, who medaled four times at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, was gobsmacked after a club in Paris tried to get her to spend the U.S. equivalent of $26,000 for a bottle of champagne.


The Comeback of the Year champ went to a nightclub following the Olympics closing ceremony, where she was part of the ceremonial passing of the Olympic flag, to celebrate.

Biles posted a GRWM—or, Get Ready With Me—TikTok video in which she shared her thoughts on a variety of topics, including the exorbitant price the club wanted charged for the bougie bubbly.

The incident was the first tea spilled.

"We had Closing Ceremonies at the Olympics. I went, and after that, we went out," she began while stippling the foundation makeup on her face.

She continued:

"You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne."
"Like, are you insane?"
"Obviously, I didn't buy it. But why would you even try and play me like that? That's wild."

Here's the clip.

Although she didn't identify the name of the establishment where a bottle of champagne could cost as much as a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, online sleuths surmised Biles may have attended Paris' premiere posh club, L'arc, where a table can cost up to €6,000, or USD 6663.90 for a group of more than five people.

Biles is set to embark on the Athleta-presented Gold Over America Tour, a gymnastics-themed entertainment touring show intended to inspire the next generation of female athletes.

Biles launched the tour, with the apt acronym, GOAT, in 2019.

The all-women company of America's best gymnasts this year includes Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Fred Richard, Joscelyn Roberson, Shane Wiskus, and Yul Moldauer.

According to their website, the star athletes will perform in a "pop concert-style spectacle" and travel to 30 arenas nationwide.

Tickets are, presumably, not expected to cost an arm and a leg.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
