(Scypre.com) – Olivia Dunne, a talented gymnast from LSU, has experienced significant financial gains through NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals in college sports. Her social media presence has been steadily growing, contributing to her increasing popularity.
In a recent episode of the “Full Send Podcast,” Dunne shared insights into the highest payment she has ever received for a sponsored post. Although she was initially hesitant to disclose the exact amount, she did provide a range that was remarkably substantial.
Dunne has received over $500,000 for a single sponsored post. This impressive compensation can be attributed to her massive following of 7.6 million on TikTok and 4.2 million on Instagram. Given her status as the most renowned female college athlete in the country, it comes as no surprise that prominent brands are willing to pay a premium for exposure through her platforms.
As Dunne’s popularity continues to soar, she has been making the most of her offseason since concluding her gymnastics season with the Tigers, where she achieved an impressive fourth-place finish in the NCAA Gymnastics Championships.
In January, Dunne had the opportunity to fulfill a dream by participating in a photoshoot for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition, which took place in Puerto Rico. Expressing her excitement in a video shared on the publication’s Instagram page, Dunne mentioned the significance of being a role model for young girls who look up to her.
She believes that her partnership with Sports Illustrated aligns well because they both strive to inspire the younger generation.
Dunne’s ability to capitalize on her fame is a testament to the purpose of NIL deals, which were implemented to benefit college athletes with influential platforms like hers. The best part is that she still has a senior season ahead of her, providing further opportunities to compete and excel later this year.
