Olivia Dunne’s Sister Julz Revealed LSU Gymnast’s Habit She Dislikes Before Receiving $47,000 Surprise Gift

When you’re one of the highest-paid college athletes in the country, gift-giving hits a whole different level. LSU Tigers gymnastics star Olivia Dunne, who boasts a staggering NIL valuation of over $4 million per year, usually known for dropping the vault. This time she has raised the bar yet again with a jaw-dropping pre-birthday surprise for her sister, Julz. But before the extravagant moment, Julz Dunne had a playful gripe.

On February 1, Olivia took Julz on what she called a ‘kidnapping’ mission, only to reveal a dream gift: a brand-new four-door, 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the base model priced at around 47 grand. Olivia Dunne said in her Instagram post, while setting-up for the surprise blast, “I’m going to kidnap my sister because I’m going to surprise her with her dream car for her birthday.” While Julz initially felt “scared” with Olivia behind the wheels, her reaction flipped to pure joy upon seeing the luxury ride. Expressing her gratitude, she later shared on her Instagram on February 1st, “No, I don’t think you guys understand. I have the best sister ever. Thank you for the early bday gift @livvydunne I love youuuuuuu.”

This generous gesture is not an isolated incident in the Dunne family. Just few months back in November 2024, the most famous Dunne gifted their mother a beach house, underscoring her penchant for sharing her success with loved ones. These acts of kindness highlight the close-knit bond within the Dunne family and Olivia’s desire to give back to those who have supported her journey. The LSU star athlete was the member of the Tigers’ first NCAA gymnastics championship winning season last year.

Olivia’s ability to bestow such lavish gifts stems from her remarkable success both in athletics and as a social media influencer. As of 2024, her net worth is estimated at $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This financial success is largely attributed to her substantial social media following, boasting over 8 million TikTok followers. These platforms have enabled her to secure lucrative endorsement deals with brands such as Vuori, American Eagle, and Bodyarmor. She is also the most followed college goer ever. No wonder she could drop nearly $48,000 on a Jeep truck for her sister like it’s nothing.

Beyond her financial achievements, Olivia’s relationship with her sister Julz is particularly noteworthy. The two share a close bond, having both attended LSU, where Julz graduated in kinesiology in 2023, and Olivia completed her degree in interdisciplinary studies in December 2024.

For Julz, turning 24 couldn’t have started on a better note. And why not? The elder sister of the 5th-year senior has been instrumental in her social media endeavors, often assisting with content creation and management.

Only right that Olivia Dunne spoiled her sister for what she does for her

Turns out, Olivia Dunne isn’t the only social media star in the family—her older sister Julz Dunne is just as much a part of the magic behind the scenes! While Olivia boasts a jaw-dropping 5.3 million Instagram followers (not to mention her TikTok empire), she credits Julz as the “mastermind behind pretty much everything“ when it comes to her social media presence in the second episode of the ‘Money Game’ released in September 2024.

Julz has been an official member of Olivia’s team since 2023, handling everything from filming to editing content. On The Purple Room Podcast in February 2023, Julz spilled the tea on her role, revealing that she’s the one responsible for Olivia’s TikTok ads—directing, filming, and polishing them up to perfection. “So any of her TikTok ads, I’m the one who edits, directs, films—all of them,” Julz shared. And the best part? She loves it.

Julz isn’t just working for her sister—she’s expanding her skills to help other athletes build their brands, too. “I really love doing that. It’s awesome and it’s just something that I would love to continue doing for her, for myself, for other athletes, for really anyone,” Julz further mentioned in the said podcast.
