Olivia Dunne is a cultural sensation. The LSU gymnast and social media star has certainly entered the mainstream cultural zeitgeist in the last 12 months in a big way.
Olivia Dunne first came to prominence as one of America’s best gymnasts. She was a serious hopeful to make the USA Women’s Gymnastics Team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, but injuries derailed her quest.
That hasn’t stopped her from making tons and tons of money, though. Olivia Dunne over 7 million followers on TikTok and over 4 million on Instagram. It’s not hard to figure out why.
@livvy Always a good idea to stretch #foryou #gymnastics
@livvy had to hop on this trend:) #foryou #gymnastics
And, she’s turned that into big cash, as college athletes can make money off their name, image, and likeness (NIL) following a 2021 Supreme Court decision. She’s one of the leaders in terms of cashing in.
Athletes with the highest NIL valuation, per @On3NIL:
1️⃣ Bronny James
2️⃣ Arch Manning
3️⃣ Mikey Williams
4️⃣ Caleb Williams
5️⃣ Olivia DunneRepresented by @KlutchSports, Bronny James has already inked deals with Beats, Nike and PSD Underwear. pic.twitter.com/vcUqseWA7V

Lately, she’s even caught the eye of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and she will be featured in the edition for the first time this year.
But, the 20-year-old still goes through some of the same stuff as her fellow 20-somethings. She’s the object of affection for many; just read her Instagram and TikTok comments. But, apparently, someone out there is not returning her snapchats in a timely manner, leaving her on the dreaded “delivered”.
This is the best whodunnit since the Charles Lindbergh baby. I’m sure after seeing this, whomever she was referring to responded very quickly.
