With 7 Olympic gold medals and over twenty world championships, American gymnast Simone Biles has become one of the most decorated and highest-paid athletes in the world. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reports that Biles, nicknamed the "legend of gymnastics," has a net worth estimated at $25 million. However, while the gymnast enjoys the fruits of her labor, her biological mother, Shannon, still lives near the poverty line in Simone's hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
The report highlights that Simone Biles flaunts her luxury items but has not provided any financial support to her struggling birth mother, who works as a cashier to make ends meet. There has been little to no contact between the mother and daughter, as Simone has continuously refused to reconcile with the woman who abandoned her during childhood decades ago. The newspaper notes that the joyful and comfortable lifestyle showcased by Simone on social media starkly contrasts with Shannon's life. In an exclusive interview with the "Daily Mail," Shannon stated, "Of course, I would accept her help... she hasn't offered that yet." The report clarifies that the 52-year-old woman, who had to give up her children due to a long battle with drugs and alcohol, is now sober but struggles financially.
