‘The Livvy Fund’ is launched by the highest NIL earner college athlete Olivia Dunne at LSU for women student-athletes. Know the details
Olivia Dunne, a gymnast representing LSU, triumphed once more.
The social media sensation, who is reportedly the wealthiest collegiate athlete in the nation, is starting a campus effort to assist female athletes in obtaining NO funding.
According to the website, The Livvy Fund will offer LSU female athletes special business insights and contacts she has made. Dunne, who earns a seven-figure salary from hefty NIL partnerships, is currently the highest-paid female athlete in the nation, according to Sports Illustrated.

“I really just hope that [The Livvy Fund] is the first of many,” Olivia told Sports Illustration Swimsuit. “I really hope to get as many women student athletes on board as I can. I want to continue to elevate women’s sports as a whole because they really deserve the same publicity as the men’s.

“We do equal work, we put in equal time in our facilities every day and in school. So, I feel like it would be right for this to be equal.”
LSU should adopt more NIL equality.
Next month, Olivia Dunne will begin her senior year at LSU. For the first time in months, the social media sensation just released a video of herself working out. She is making her way back from 2023 marred by injuries.

Dunne claims that the initial impetus for this effort came from her realization that approximately 66% of NIL money goes to male athletes.
“The collectives mostly go to the men’s sports here at LSU and I just want to fight for equal NIL opportunities,” she continued. “It’s very important to help educate other student athletes here at LSU on how to be a savvy businesswoman and how to partner with brands.
“Over the past two years, I’ve learned so much from these brands. So, I just want to help educate others and help give equal opportunities.”

At LSU, Dunne made his debut a couple of years ago. But once the historic NIL law was passed in 2021, her reputation took a dramatic turn.
Since then, she has grown a sizable social media fan base, closed numerous enormous NIL deals, and emerged as the most well-known college athlete in the nation.
