Simone Biles has been mocked on social media after she tweeted that she ‘needs a sugar daddy’, despite being worth $16 million and having just come back from a lavish bachelorette party in Belize.
The 25-year-old is one of the most successful gymnasts of all time, however, she recently took to Twitter to reveal that she needs some help paying her ‘credit card statement.’
The star athlete called for a ‘sugar daddy’ to pay her bills following her bachelorette bash that saw her and her friends jetting off to Belize before Simone ties the knot with the 27-year-old Houston Texans NFL player Jonathan Owens – who is worth a whopping $7 million.
Simone faced backlash from social media users – with many teasing that she was her ‘own sugar daddy’, referencing the athlete’s mega fortune.

The tweet comes just three weeks after the Olympic Gold medalist had a luxurious bachelorette bash with her closest pals in Belize.
She gave fans an inside look at her party ahead of her wedding to the NFL star.
Simone was ready to celebrate as she documented her ‘bach and boujee’ bash that saw both of her and one of her best pals having a joint pre-wedding party before she ties the knot with the 27-year-old Houston Texans NFL player.
Simone shared a peak at all the fun in her Instagram Story, beginning with a Boomerang of her and friends holding their passports ahead of their international getaway.
Captioning the series of snaps, ‘The one where I’m the bride,’ the gymnast posed beside bridal-themed decorations and goodies, including a sash that read ‘Future Mrs. Owens.’

Many Twitter users referenced Simone’s mega fortune, which is said to be $16 million.
Throughout the years, she has racked up millions of dollars and earned seven Olympic medals and won 25 World Championships over the years.
And while she has achieved numerous feats as an athlete, most of Simone’s earnings have shockingly not come from her impressive gymnastics career, but instead, from the many lucrative sponsorship deals she has landed along the way
It’s been reported that the sports star earned roughly $172,500 from her wins at the Olympics, and while that may seem like a lot at first glance – it’s only a small fraction of her massive fortune.
The 25-year-old’s career has stretched far beyond just gymnastics, and much of Simone’s earnings have poured in from her numerous brand endorsements.
She has partnered with companies like Nike, Gap, Uber Eats, Subway, Hershey and Visa over the years, just to name a few.

But sponsorship deals are not her only source of income. Over the years, Simone has also released her own set of gymnastics equipment with Spieth America (seen)
She has also launched her own line of leotards, released a set of gymnastics equipment, starred in a Snapchat reality series, dabbled in modeling, and embarked on a tour around the US following her stint at the 2020 Olympics that grossed $19.3 million.
While Simone once admitted that her biggest fear is ‘going broke,’ she has certainly enjoyed a lavish lifestyle since becoming a millionaire – which she usually flaunts online to her millions of Instagram followers.
She also opened her own training center in Houston, called World Champions Centre, and most recently, she dropped a collection of leotards with GK, which are sold at Target (seen)
She often embarks on glamorous getaways to places like Belize and Turks and Caicos – via private jet, of course – eats in fancy restaurants, attends elite parties, and dons designer clothing.
And her bachelorette party was not the first time she had dropped serious amounts of cash on her wedding.
In October, Simone teased fans with a sneak peek into her wedding by giving them a glimpse at her wild Austin party that saw her and her closest friends partying and picking out bridesmaids dresses.
The Olympic Gold medalist was ready to say ‘I do’, as she posed in a white feather mini dress at her party ahead of her nuptials with Houston Texans NFL player.
The athlete, who lives in Houston with her beau, captioned a photo of herself in the fuzzy halter dress, which seems to be one her wedding picks, captioning the photo, ‘on bride duty,’ her beau even left her an adorable comment, ‘I can’t wait,’ he said.
Simone shared herself getting all dressed up for the girls trip on her Instagram before sharing a reel of her and her closest pals dress shopping, sipping on mimosas poolside and dining at the best restaurants.

One week later, the athletes revealed they would be having a destination wedding, and while the exact location has yet to be revealed, Simone hinted it was Bora Bora because she’s ‘always wanted to go.’
In March, the bride-to-be revealed she said yes to not one, but two dresses ahead of her wedding.

Simone shared several photos from a dress-shopping trip to designer Galia Lahav’s Los Angeles boutique – where she revealed, she ‘said yes to the dress(es).’
Lahav shared snaps from the athlete’s shopping day, showing Simone in two stunning gowns, which presumably didn’t make the final cut.
In a fan Q&A on her Instagram, Simone said that the first dress she tried on ‘was one of the ones I picked.’
‘The second one was about 8 in I’m guessing,’ she added.
And while the pictures the designer shared aren’t the actual dresses she chose for her big day, they do indicate she embraced traditional white dresses.
In one photo, Simone stunned in a revealing gown with a plunging neckline that offered a touch of skin with sheer sides. The skirt features a tulle design with floral embroidery and a long train that spanned several feet behind her.
In the other photo, she sported a strapless white beaded lace dress, which was a form-fitting mermaid cut.
At the end of her shopping day, Simone held up two signs while sporting a white tank and denim shorts.
The first sign read: ‘Officially a #GLbride,’ and the second read: ‘I said yes at Galia Lahav LA.’
Lahav added on Instagram: ‘It’s official: She said ‘YES to the dress(es)!’ We are over the moon & so honored about gold medalist & mega athlete @simonebiles becoming a GL Bride!’
Galia Lahav’s bridal gowns range in price from $2,190 to $4,960 online, however, neither of the dresses Simone sported are available on the site.
In June, the couple announced they had ticked off another part of wedding planning and officially sent out save the date cards.
