Base case is our central scenario. Bear and bull cases show how uncertainty around private holdings, retained proceeds, taxes and liabilities can move the estimate.

How Simone Biles Built a Fortune
Forbes estimated Biles earned $7.1 million in 2023, with about $7 million from endorsements and only about $100,000 from gymnastics. That makes sponsorship economics the central driver of the estimate.
Forbes had already estimated at least $5 million of annual endorsement income in 2021, suggesting multiple years of meaningful off-field earnings rather than a single Olympic-cycle spike.
Biles’s Athleta relationship includes a long-term partnership and signature-product collaboration, but reviewed reporting does not establish an equity stake.
The model therefore keeps brand-rights value small and conservative, avoiding the common mistake of turning sponsorship visibility into unsupported private-company ownership.
Sources[1][2][3]Observed assets and financial anchors
A reported salary, company sale or brand valuation is not automatically current personal wealth. We show the pieces that can be tied to retained evidence and keep historical flows separate.
No major component is directly observable as a precise current valueThis estimate is built from source-backed financial anchors and explicitly modeled scenario ranges rather than pretending a private balance sheet is directly observable.
Historical flow
Forbes estimated Biles earned $7.1 million in 2023, with about $7 million from endorsements and roughly $100,000 from gymnastics.
Sources[1]Historical flow
Forbes estimated Biles earned at least $5 million annually in endorsements in 2021 from a broad sponsor portfolio.
Sources[2]Context
Athleta and Biles announced a long-term partnership with signature-product collaboration, but reviewed sources do not establish an equity stake.
Sources[3]Scenario balance sheet
The estimate accumulates repeated high-earning endorsement years conservatively after taxes and professional costs. Sponsorship and signature-product collaborations are not treated as equity ownership unless the reviewed evidence explicitly establishes it.

Modeled component
Modeled retained endorsement and career capital
Forbes estimated $7.1 million of 2023 earnings, including about $7 million from endorsements, and previously estimated at least $5 million of annual sponsorship income. The model accumulates those high-earning years conservatively after taxes, management costs and spending.
Sources[1][2]Modeled component
Modeled current brand and licensing interests
Biles has long-term brand partnerships and signature product collaborations, including Athleta. Reviewed sources do not establish equity ownership or a separately transferable business value, so this component remains small and conservative.

Estimate history
We began retaining comparable estimate snapshots on Sep 18, 2026. Earlier Grizzly Bulls figures are not reconstructed unless a retained snapshot exists.

Initial Grizzly Bulls estimate published with endorsement income separated from uncertain brand-rights value.
This is the first retained snapshot, so there is no earlier comparable Grizzly Bulls estimate to show yet.
What could move the estimate
- What are the current annual values and remaining terms of Biles’s largest endorsement contracts?
- Does Biles hold any equity or royalty interests in signature-product collaborations?
- What investment, property and liability balances materially affect the current balance sheet?
