It’s Forbes Time For Olivia Dunne. She said, “It’s My Lifestyle”
Olivia Dunne, a gymnast for LSU, has gained a lot of recognition. The 20-year-old is a triple threat as a college athlete, influencer, and burgeoning businesswoman. Name, image, and likeness (NIL) endorsement deals let her become the highest-paid female college athlete in the country.
Additionally, Dunne’s uncanny financial acumen has now secured her a mention with Forbes after previously appearing in the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

Dunne, who presently has nearly 8 million followers on TikTok, detailed how she became the most followed college athlete in an interview that was held in conjunction with the seductive photo session.
In response to a question about the Olivia Dunne brand, she replied, “I will say it’s a little bit of everything. “It’s my lifestyle. It’s fashion, it’s fitness, it’s friends and fun.”
Perhaps Dunne’s approachable demeanor is what connects with her admirers so well. “I think it’s the balancing act of my life,” she said on her popularity and why she is so famous. “I think it’s because I’m a student athlete. I go to class. I go to the gym. I also do work on top of that—I do social media…. It really helps being present in each moment, because it’s easy to get distracted with all of these things going on in my life. So just compartmentalizing everything really helps.”

But what truly made Dunne famous was the NCAA changing its NIL rules. The blonde is now paying it forward after accumulating seven figures in endorsements. She established The Livvy Fund during the summer in order to assist her friends in learning about collaborations and personal branding and to help them find NIL endorsement opportunities.
“My life has been changed ever since the NIL rule change,” she said. “It’s been changed for the better, obviously, but it’s been a whirlwind. It’s been so fun to work with these brands that I never had the opportunity to work with before the rule changed and I’m just really grateful.”

Dunne is already making plans for her own line of merchandise, such as apparel for gymnasts, clothing, or an app, as she looks beyond her time competing for her college team. She is also creating a roadmap for the next phase of her career. She’s still figuring that part out, but given everything else she’s got going on right now, she has plenty of time.
