Olivia Dunne’s star is shining brighter than ever these days. The LSU All-American gymnast and social media star has completely gone mainstream in the past few months.
Of course, she was already a huge social media store even before she entered the mainstream cultural zeitgeist. Dunne sports over 7 million followers on TikTok and another 4 million on Instagram, making her one of the most-followed female athletes in the world.
And, Olivia Dunne has turned that following into a ton of cash. With college athletes being able to cash in on their name, image, and likeness rights since a 2021 Supreme Court decision, she’s become a millionaire a few times over.

Recently, she was at an NIL symposium with athletes that made headlines, and she surely was a focal point for the many high school athletes in attendance.
But, Olivia Dunne’s big break into the mainstream came when she was included in this year’s edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
And. on Tuesday, she shared a behind-the-scenes look at her Sports Illustrated shoot, and the Instagram post went absolutely nuts.
I have a very, very strong suspicion that she will be invited back for next year’s edition.
