   @callisto @Nonya_Bidniss @cbarbermd so, she'd be giving about 1/6 of her net worth to a single political campaign. That seems possible, but high.

     @cbarbermd I've searched for any source of this information and only found one post on threads but no news stories. The post on threads cited no source. Here's some info on what the winners will get, for gold an athlete can win $50k this year. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/16/sport/olympics-athletes-compensated-medal-spt-intl/index.html

     @Nonya_Bidniss @cbarbermd Agreed on the lack of sourcing, but prize monies are rarely a significant source of income for athletes. It's the sponsorship deals. I have no idea of the accuracy of "Celebrity Net Worth," but they peg Biles at $25M. https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/olympians/simone-biles-net-worth/

     Never underestimate Simone Biles. What a champion!🏅🌟

     “Simone will formally announce her donation of $4M to the #HarrisWalz campaign! According to a source at Sports Illustrated, the sum of $4M represents $1M for each of the four medals she won at the Olympics in Paris.”— r/t Andy Behrman
