Revealed: The eye-watering value of Simone Biles’ iconic Olympic goat necklace
It has 546 diamonds?!
After winning gold at the all-around women’s gymnastics final last night, Simone Biles really did cement her GOAT status. The medal marked her second gold in the Games and sixth Olympic gold overall. And how did she celebrate it? By wearing an ICONIC goat necklace. I am truly obsessed.
After winning in Paris last night, she wore the necklace featuring a massive 546 diamonds alongside her gold medal. The necklace is, of course, a reference to her “greatest of all time” status. But how much does it cost? We know Simone has a hefty net worth of over $20 million so she’s definitely got the cash to splash on something fancy.
Well, speaking to The Tab, Jeremy Hinds, Sales Development Director at F. Hinds estimates Simones’s necklace to be worth a huge £50,000 ($63,739.75 USD) because of the many, MANY diamonds it has.
Speaking about the necklace after her win last night, Simone said: “My GOAT necklace is just kind of an ode because the people love it and then some people hate it, so it’s like the best of both worlds. And I was like, ‘Okay, if it goes well, we’ll wear the GOAT necklace. I know people will go crazy over it.’ But at the end of the day, it is crazy that I am in the conversation of greatest of all athletes, because I just still think I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that just loves to flip.”
The necklace is designed by Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, who, in a post on Instagram called it a “three-dimensional masterpiece adorned with 546 diamonds that embodies her unparalleled status in gymnastics.”
