Olivia Dunne is quite a talented gymnast. The LSU star was a former member of Team USA and now stars for the Tigers, where she was an All-American as a freshman on uneven bars in 2021.
But, she’s most well-known for her social media exploits. The New Jersey native has over nine million followers on Instagram and Tiktok combined and is one of social media’s biggest stars.
That has turned her into a serious celebrity. Dunne walked the red carpet at the ESPY’s in July alongside some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. And, her social media followers are chock-full of A-Listers.
She has a real talent for social media, too. Yes, there is no doubt she is conventionally attractive. But, she knows what she is doing creatively and understands how the famous algorithms of the platforms work in order to maximize her views and revenue.
Here are some of her latest TikTok hits.

And, this is worth big bucks to the 20-year-old. With the Supreme Court ruling that the NCAA must allow athletes to make money off of their Name, Image, and Likeness in the Summer of 2021, Dunne has cashed in as much as anyone.

That’s quite the chunk of change for a 20-year-old. If she spends and saves that wisely, it could set her up for life.
Of course, in order to continue making the big bucks, she needs to keep creating viral content. And, late Wednesday evening, she did just that.

There are certainly some weirdos on the internet. Just look at the comments of the TikToks posted above. And while I think the person that Olivia makes fun of in this TikTok is joking, this seems like something a real person would do in 2022. Take a look for yourselves.

What do we think was on the menu for dinner.
In all seriousness, though, he facial expressions help show exactly why she has made it so big on social media. There are a lot of pretty girls in the world. But, Livvy has the talent in front of a camera to make captivating content that her 6.6 million twitter subscribers keep coming back to. It’s her own self-awareness that’s key to her success.
The TikTok is doing numbers, too. It was viewed 1.6 million times in the first six hours after it was published.
Keep making that dough, Olivia.
