After dazzling the world at the Olympics, Simone Biles decided to unwind in style—and where better to celebrate than in the City of Lights? But her night out in Paris turned into a jaw-dropping story when a nightclub tried to charge her an astronomical $26,000 for a single bottle of champagne.
The 27-year-old gymnastics superstar who is still riding high on her Olympic success, shared the outrageous moment with her fans on TikTok. “We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went, and after that, we went out,” Biles began, setting the scene. But then came the kicker: “You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne.”
“Like, are you insane?” she exclaimed, laughing off the absurdity of the situation. “Obviously, I didn’t buy it. But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild.”
While Biles didn’t spill the name of the pricey Parisian club, she did hint at her wild night out last week when she was spotted partying with her sister at L’Arc, one of the city’s hottest spots. She even posted a snap from the night, complete with a private table, sparklers, champagne (probably not the $26k variety), and a group of friends living it up. “The reason I’m unwell this morning,” she cheekily captioned the photo.
For a champion who’s flipped through life’s challenges with grace, it seems Simone Biles can now add dodging ridiculous champagne prices in Paris to her list of impressive feats.
