Simone Biles is one of the most celebrated athletes of the 21st century. A four-time Olympic gold medalist and recipient of more than 20 World Championship gold medals, the gymnast rose to fame during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, Biles has continued to compete on the Olympic stage at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and soon in the 2024 Paris Olympics. With a career in the spotlight that spans almost a decade, Biles has gone through an entire evolution before the public’s eye.

Last June, the seven-time Olympic medalist kicked off a two-year partnership as the new face of haircare brand K18. In 2021, Biles signed a long-term partnership deal with Athleta. At 27, Biles’ business career is only just beginning.
