The NIL scoreboard seems to be stuck for Olivia Dunne! While the top three athletes keep rising with their earnings, Olivia, now in 4th place, is holding steady. Why is that? After winning the NCAA championship a few months ago, Livvy was sitting in 2nd place in the NIL rankings with a valuation of $3.9 million and was expected to climb even higher after coming back to LSU for the final year, potentially surpassing Shedeur Sanders, who’s leading the charts with a $6.2 million valuation. But when she joined LSU, it didn’t help her at all!

With her massive social media presence of 5.4 M on Instagram, 8.1M on TikTok, and 159K on X—you’d think her NIL value would soar. But despite all those numbers, it hasn’t budged, while others in the top three continue to rise within weeks! After a constant second place, her NIL value started to slip—slowly at first, but it got more obvious as time went on. By December 3rd, she was bumped to 3rd place, with her value sitting at $4.2 million. The reason? Arch Manning, the redshirt freshman from the famous Manning family, saw his NIL value skyrocket to $4.8 million—$600,000 more than Olivia. But the changes didn’t stop there.

The very next day, December 4th, Olivia took another hit when Travis Hunter, Colorado’s standout wide receiver and cornerback, pushed ahead with a $4.5 million valuation. Now Olivia’s stuck at 4th place, with her value still sitting at $4.2 million. But here’s the kicker—the NIL positions are still shifting, and things are far from settled!

On December 13th, Travis Hunter climbed from third to second place in the rankings, with his valuation surging from $4.5 million to an impressive $5.2 million—a staggering $700,000 increase in just one week. This leap brings Hunter tantalizingly close to the $6 million mark. Meanwhile, Arch Manning also saw a notable rise, with his NIL valuation increasing by $200,000, moving from $4.8 million to $5 million.

At the top of the list, Shedeur Sanders remains the frontrunner, although his valuation dipped slightly, dropping from $6.2 million last week to $6.0 million. Dunne held steady with her valuation unchanged at $4.2 million. So, here’s the big question: could Olivia Dunne’s NIL value take a further hit? While her earnings remain stable for now, market dynamics in the NIL world are highly unpredictable.

Is Olivia Dunne’s NIL value in danger of slipping?

Olivia Dunne’s NIL worth does not appear to be decreasing any time soon. She is in 4th position, valued at $4.2 million, while the 5th athlete is Cooper Flagg, who sits at $2.9 million, which is a difference of $1.3 million. Hence, it is safe to say that she is not in any danger of further dropping her ranks shortly. But here’s where it’s getting interesting. Football players are the current reigning champions of the NIL game. Of the 10 highest-ranked athletes, Olivia is the solitary ranked woman and is, therefore, the highest-paid female college athlete in NIL, with the rest male football and few basketball players.

While football and basketball players have their multi-million dollar pro careers ahead of them, gymnasts like Olivia Dunne must make some decisions. Unlike future soccer stars anxiously waiting to join their footballing giants such as the NFL or NBA, there’s no such league for gymnasts. Even talented athletes like Simone Biles don’t earn the kind of money athletes in other sports get, For instance, Cristiano Ronaldo’s net worth is $285 million (reported by Forbes) while Simone Biles has a net worth was $25 million in the year 2023 – a huge difference.

But let’s get to the exciting part, Olivia Dunne, a college gymnast, is much richer than many gymnasts. She is still a college learner, yet she earns her paycheck more than most gymnastics earners. Yeah, she might not be anywhere near Ronaldo or Simone Biles, but Olivia is not too shabby when it comes to sports earnings.

However, based on present calculation, by November 2024, Shedeur Sanders’ net worth stands at $3 million, Travis Hunter at about $6 million & Arch Manning at $13 million. But what about Dunne? She’s also sitting pretty with $6,000,000 of net worth. Well, therefore, what is in store for Olivia when there is so much money in circulation? Nobody knows if she will still rule the NIL or has already set her sights on something else in the future. Only time will tell!
