Jordan Chiles has revealed her plan to get into real estate once her gymnastics career comes to a close.
Chiles has not disclosed her timeline from moving off the balance beam and vault permanently. Her success from this past summer has clearly been on Chiles’ mind.
After becoming a huge star while representing Team USA in gymnastics at the Summer Olympics in Paris, Chiles has not kept a low profile.
She lost her bronze medal in the floor exercise competition after an appeal from Romania and Chiles has appeared at several high-profile events around the country.
Chiles is only 23 and has not declared her intentions for the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. Chiles will be 27 if she competes at the next Olympiad to be held in the United States, the same age Simone Biles was this summer.
‘The future is such a huge word, but there are so many things that you can do within that future,’ Chiles said over the weekend. ‘Well, whenever that happens, I’m going to go into real estate. I love building. I love being creative. I love seeing things just be designed in different ways. That’s one thing.’

Chiles also spoke about her personal brand and how she wanted it to be viewed.
‘Do I want to become an actress? 100%. Do I want to sing? Sure. I can say all those things, but in reality, I think it’s just continuing to make a brand for myself and to make sure everybody understands that Jordan Chiles is Jordan Chiles, not just as an athlete, but also as a human.’
Chiles is only 23, the same age as many in their first years out of college. Having a plan for her future is a step in the right direction for her life outside of athletics.
‘When I was younger, I thought success was just going to school every day. I was like, “Oh yes, I’m successful. I got an A on my test. Yes.” No, now that I’m older, there’s a lot of things that go into success.’
‘You can be successful not only within your brand but also with things that you do around yourself, with people, with jobs, with a career, with hobbies.’
‘And also, I still to this day don’t consider myself famous. I don’t consider myself a celebrity. I don’t consider myself anything because I feel like I still have more to do within my community, more to do within myself.’
‘I need to mature. There’s a lot of things. So yes, I look at success differently.’
