She has gained significant popularity as a social media influencer, boasting nearly 5 million Instagram followers and nearly 8 million TikTok followers. As of 2023, Dunne's net worth is estimated to be $3.5 million. This considerable fortune primarily stems from her prosperous social media career and endorsement deals with renowned brands like Vuori, Accelerator, L'Oréal, Spotify, Forever 21, Motorola, American Eagle, Grubhub, ESPN College GameDay, and YouTube.

Beyond her online earnings and brand affiliations, Dunne supplements her income through gymnastics.

She receives financial aid from LSU via a scholarship, and her participation in competitions allows her to earn prize money. Notably, Dunne also benefits from the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) program, which permits college athletes to monetize their personal brand. In 2023 alone, she reportedly amassed over $500,000 from NIL agreements. Her net worth is projected to grow further in 2024.
