Simone Biles, sitting on a $25million fortune – why her biological mother live in poverty under… full story below πππ
Her biological mother Shanon Biles remains estranged from the Olympian since she abandoned her at childhood due to her drug addiction. She continues to live in poverty in Simone’s hometown
The 52-year-old racked up a string of debts and has for years lived in the same corner red-brick row house in the crime-ridden neighborhood of Franklinton in Columbus, Ohio
Simone was shuffled through foster homes before her grandfather Ron Biles and his second wife Nellie adopted her as a six-year-old.
Now, an accomplished Olympic athlete, she hasn’t been shy about showing off what her prodigious talent has brought her, sharing videos and snaps treating herself to a luxury shopping spree to celebrate her successful performance at the Games this past month
She was even forced to respond to comments from online trolls criticizing her for flaunting her wealth this week after she was seen with an Hermès handbag.
Simone clarified that the purse had actually been a gift in a cheeky Threads post on Wednesday saying: ‘My parents bought me my HermΓ¨s bag. Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents.’
