Olympics legend Simone Biles has shared the staggeringly high bill a nightclub tried to charge her for a bottle of champagne.
The USA gymnast put on a sensational performance in Paris, as she became the oldest Olympic all-around champion at age 27 as well as securing a total of four medals (three gold, one silver).
Biles' performances in Paris means she is now the most decorated US gymnast of all time after claiming a whopping 11 Olympic medals over the course of her career.
Considering her magnificent performances in Paris, it is no surprise that the gymnast took to the clubs of the French capital to celebrate her success.

However, Biles shared in a TikTok, video the astonishing price she was quoted for a bottle of Champagne following the closing ceremony.
"After [closing ceremonies] we went out," the American recalled. "You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like are you insane?"
"But why would you even try to play me like that? That’s wild," she said in the TikTok video.
Elsewhere in the TikTok video, Simone spoke about what life is like for her being in the public eye following her massive Olympic success.
"I don’t know sometimes, the attention, I’d rather not have it," Simone said.
"I rather just be as normal as possible, I don’t know."
With Biles in the spotlight for her recent performances, her biological mother, Shannon, has attempted to make contact with her daughter after being absent since the gymnast was six when she was adopted by her grandfather Ronald Biles.
"I want her to reach out to me," she told the Daily Mail.
"She's 27 now. She's married. I would have liked to have been a part of that, but I just have to wait for her. You can't push anybody.
"It hasn't happened yet, but I have patience. I'm waiting on her," she continued.
