During the medal ceremony at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone Biles boldly celebrated her identity as “the greatest of all time,” commonly known as “GOAT,” by wearing a custom necklace.
Following her impressive victory in the women’s gymnastics all-around final, which marked her ninth Olympic triumph, Biles proudly took her place on the podium flaunting a striking necklace featuring a diamond-goat pendant.
The renowned jeweler Janet Heller Fine Jewelry revealed via Instagram that this unique three-dimensional goat necklace is embellished with an astounding 546 diamonds and accompanies an Olympic ring necklace she also commissioned.
The value of this exquisite diamond piece likely surpasses that of her gold medal itself, which is estimated to be around $950; however, specific details about its worth remain undisclosed from Janet Heller Fine Jewelry upon inquiry.

Jeanne Diaz from GK Elite, responsible for creating Team USA’s leotards noted to Business Insider that you wouldn’t see goats on Olympic team leotards because they must adhere strictly to official guidelines devoid of extra logos or personal embellishments. “When Simone showcased a goat symbol on past leotards it was solely for club competitions rather than representing Team USA; hence why those designs were able showcase more personalization,” Diaz elaborated.
After stepping back from certain events during Tokyo’s 2021 Olympics amid mental health challenges and experiencing what athletes call “the twisties,” Simone’s advocacy within mental health spheres combined with unparalleled athletic prowess has firmly established her reputation as “GOAT” amid icons alongside continued expansion into brand endorsements elevating net worth considerably beyond competition earnings alone—allowing ample opportunities for glamorous celebrations!
