Amid the Olympics in Tokyo, Simone Biles made headlines for a very different reason than she has at past games. While fans' reactions to Biles' withdrawal from the gymnastics competition were varied, the athlete is clearly past the point of performing on cue to win over audiences.

Celebs like Justin Bieber have praised Simone for prioritizing her mental health, but it's unclear what her future looks like, in the Olympics and elsewhere. One thing is for certain, though: this stand for her own wellbeing likely won't impact Simone's bottom line.

Simone Biles' net worth is an impressive $6 million, and fans can bet those earnings didn't stem from per-hour charges for her incredible gymnastics routines. So how did Biles earn all her money?

What Is Simone Biles' Net Worth?

Sources say that Simone Biles is worth about six million bucks. The gymnast started her cash flow when she entered the spotlight as part of the US national gymnastics team in 2012.

Fans loved her, her skills couldn't be beat, and every routine she showcased combined art, drama, and a staggeringly impossible-to-replicate athletic prowess that continues to stun audiences years later.

What fans want to know, though, is just how Simone racked up all that cash while racking up all her wins.

How Much Money Do Olympic Athletes Earn?

Participating in the Olympics is a great honor, but it's also an opportunity to bring home a chunk of change. Reports confirm that in 2018, Olympians won anywhere from $15,000 (for bronze) to just over $37,000 (for gold).

CNBC also reported that many athletes receive "performance-based stipends" to cover their needs and that higher-ranking wins earn them a more generous stipend.

Because Simone Biles has won so many medals, she brings him a fair amount of cash from that alone.

How Else Does Simone Biles Earn Money?

Sure, gold medals add up. But they don't quite total $6M. So where does the rest of Simone Biles' net worth come from? Quite simply, it stems from her celebrity.

Like other big names, Simone has lucrative partnerships with countless brands. Athletic brands love her, of course, but she's also fronted for Kellogg's, Beats by Dre, Uber Eats, and even Oreo.

She's recorded commercials, posts #sponcon on Instagram, released a book in 2016, and competed on 'Dancing with the Stars.' All of that put together could easily total $6 million.

Who Is The Richest Gymnast?

Hands-down, the current richest gymnast appears to be Simone Biles. While other Olympic athletes also have incredibly high net worths (Michael Phelps is worth more than ten times Biles' level of cash), Simone is one of the most well-known gymnasts and the only one to earn millions (so far).
