(73,186 posts)Some of her family lives close to Columbus and I saw her out a local
restaurant and she is tiny. This act is a game changer. How many
young ladies ladies follow Ms. Biles? And how many vote?

Biles is such a great American hero.
Never ceases to amaze me.

(28,835 posts)It's amazing how we'll bite on anything, even when the only source is some random X poster plugging his page.

TwilightZone
(28,835 posts)Considering that this is presently the only source, I suspect we've been had.
Well, not all of us....
I'd be happy to be wrong. We'll see.

(54,540 posts)I mean yeah, it's all crazy money and being left with a measly $16 million is hardly going to impoverish her.
Still, giving 20% of your net worth to any one cause is pretty massive.

(54,540 posts)I don't know the big football names these days, but it seems she's the rock star in terms of endorsements.
Regardless, $4 million is huge, and it's certainly not likely a contribution in the expectation of legislation favorable to her business, like some contributions might be (particularly for republicans).
She obviously feels very strongly about this campaign.

(63,798 posts)So she can cover the donation.
Maybe she figures she can get some sort of honorary position in the Harris administration.
Maybe she figures that gd little twerp JD Vance who dissed her in public needs a big FU right back
in public and is willing to shell out $4m to do it.

Biles is such a beautiful soul.
FakeNoose
(36,551 posts)Also I've seen her in a lot of ads for the Olympics in the past several years. I guess NBC makes most of those ads, and she gets paid every time they're on the air. But the big money comes from Nike and other product endorsements.
Thank you Simone Biles!

(5,099 posts)Let the young woman make her own announcement if that is what she intends. Someone else announcing what may or may not be accurate is putting words in the young woman's mouth, and that just isn't polite or proper.
One can see, and hope for this to happen, but the young woman should be the one to say it, or not say it, as is her decision.

If it's fake, we're just spreading misinformation.

The OP is almost assuredly false.
Thanks for the info.
