Olivia Dunne is making serious moves.

The 20-year-old rising star gymnast became a millionaire at the age of 18 thanks to her social media fame, which has translated to a windfall thanks to NIL. Dunne currently has six million followers on TikTok and two million more on Instagram and all of it has made her very profitable. She’s the epitome of the modern day amateur athlete. According to On3 Sports’ proprietary NIL Valuation metric, Dunne is one of the most valuable athletes in amateur sports. On3 measures athletes by performance, influence and exposure.

Per their calculations, Dunne is valued at $2.3 million.

See the list below:

Olivia’s valuation puts her fifth overall behind big names like Bronny James, Arch Manning, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud.

College basketball stars Paige Bueckers and the Cavinder sisters, Haley and Hanna, also are on the list. Dunne took to her Instagram story to share the exciting news.

Olivia Dunne, along with several of her LSU gymnastics teammates, earned a spot on the prestigious SEC Academic Honor Roll for the 2020-2021 school year.

Not only does she have the looks, she also has the brains. Talk about a winning package. Livvy, as she is known to her 5.2 million followers on social media, has a lot to celebrate.

Being the most followed NCAA athlete across all social media pays well.
