Introduction
Simone Biles, the world-renowned Olympian with a net worth of $25 million, is at the center of a heart-wrenching story involving her biological mother, Shanon Biles. Living in near poverty in Columbus, Ohio, Shanon has opened up about her life, which stands in stark contrast to the lavish lifestyle of her famous daughter.
Background
Simone Biles was taken in by her grandparents when she was just three years old due to Shanon’s struggles with substance abuse. Since then, the two have been largely estranged. Despite Simone’s immense success and wealth, Shanon claims she has not received any financial support from her daughter.
Shanon Biles Speaks Out
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Shanon shared, “Of course, I would accept her help… She hasn’t [offered] it so far. I’m here. I’m okay.” Shanon, now 50, works as a cashier at Save A Lot when she can, but she’s currently unable to work due to medical issues.
