Simone Biles has shared the shockingly high bill a nightclub tried to charge her for a bottle of champagne.
Simone did incredibly well at the Olympics, but to be honest, fans were not exactly surprised.
The athlete is now the most decorated US gymnast of all time after claiming a whopping 11 Olympic medals over the course of her career.

In Paris, Simone won four medals, with three golds and one silver medal achieved at the Games.
With all that success, Simone perhaps unsurprisingly decided to go out and celebrate her triumphs.
The night out, which happened after the closing ceremony earlier this month, saw Simone quoted a hefty price for a bottle of champagne.
In a video posted to TikTok, Simone spoke about the booze sesh while filming herself putting makeup on.
"After [closing ceremonies] we went out," the Olympian recalled. "You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like are you insane?"
I mean, you expect a bottle of champagne to be expensive in a swanky Paris nightclub, but $26,000? That's truly astonishing.
While she may have a lot of money, Simone 'obviously didn't buy' the champagne, and she was left in utter shock at how expensive it was.
"But why would you even try to play me like that? That’s wild," she said in the TikTok video.
Simone did specify what nightclub it was.
Many fans of the Olympian have flocked to the comments section of the video to express their shock at the price.
"$26k is crazy omg," one user wrote while a second added: "$26k??? That’s insane!"
Elsewhere in the TikTok video, Simone spoke candidly about 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."
Following Simone's performance in Paris, the athlete's biological mother, Shanon, is hoping to reconnect.
But while she may have a mobile phone number for the Olympian, Shanon has insisted she 'won't use it'.
"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."
Simone was adopted by her maternal grandfather Ronald Biles at the age of six.
