Olivia Dunne was just named to Forbes’s Top Creators 2023 list. The LSU gymnast, who has grown her social platform to more than 12 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, is the most-followed college athlete in the U.S. and the highest-paid female college athlete in the country. She has rightfully taken advantage of the NCAA’s NIL rules and partnered with various brands for endorsement deals and sponsorships, all adding up to a seven figure salary.

In her latest Instagram post, she gave fans a behind the scenes look at her new Forbes feature. The New Jersey native donned a V-neck athletic top, wrap skort and pointed-toe stilettos for a sleek all-white look. Her long blonde locks were loosely curled and she sported a full glam moment.

Dunne struck three different poses in the cover image, and in the next slide, the 20-year-old included a black-and-white video montage from the photoshoot. Dunne, who was featured on the October cover of Sports Illustrated, smiled bright, showed off her toned body and flaunted her modeling skills. 

“truly an honor @forbes,” she captioned the Sept. 27 duo of pics and tagged photographer Devin Yalkin.

“Go off!!!!” 2023 SI Swimsuit cover star Brooks Nader commented.

“my actual princess,” TikTok creator and fellow model Olivia Ponton added.

“That’s right @livvydunne get it,” SI Swimsuit magazine editor in chief MJ Day wrote.

The 2023 SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed by Ben Watts in Puerto Rico for her magazine debut earlier this year, recently began her senior year at LSU. Earlier this year, Dunne created The Livvy Fund, a platform to connect female athletes with their own brand deals at her school.
