As Olivia Dunne prepares to return for a fifth year at LSU, she has already reached untouched heights of success. The New Jersey native, Livvy Dunne, has an estimated net worth of $6 million, with an NIL valuation of $4 million, making her the highest-valued female college athlete on the NIL list. Despite her impressive earnings, the multimillionaire continues to aspire for even greater achievements.
Dunne appeared on Best of Both Worlds with Flau’jae Johnson on YouTube. During her conversation with the fellow NIL athlete and LSU Tigers basketball star, Livvy discussed her recent trip to New York. She praised the opportunities NIL has provided over the past four years and mentioned that the purpose of her New York visit was to collaborate with Motorola.
However, the gymnastics icon didn’t just go alone but paid for friends’ tickets, so they could enjoy a day unwinding in New York. That’s when Flau’jae Johnson asked an interesting question. “Did y’all fly on a private to New York?” asked the college athlete. Olivia Dunne confessed to Johnson, “I’m not there yet.” However, the millionaire was hopeful about the future.

“We’ll get there though,” added Livvy. Johnson then asked if Dunne had had the opportunity to fly privately in the past. Although Dunne may not have what it takes to charter her own private flights yet, she has flown on private jets a handful of times with her boyfriend Paul Skenes. “I got to take one with Paul from Pittsburgh,” said the 2024 national champ.
Paul Skenes, who plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates played in the all-star game game last summer and Olivia Dunne attended the game. Besides that, she only flows twice, and in the last, she joined Flau’jae Johnson to attend the premiere of their Amazon Prime docu-series, The Money Game. However, these experiences have only helped Dunne set the bar for success even higher.
Olivia Dunne’s ever-increasing NIL valuation
Throughout the past four years, Livvy Dunne’s NIL earnings have steadily increased. With 13.2 million social media followers, her NIL valuation has risen by nearly half a million in 2024 alone. In January, Sports Illustrated reported her NIL value at $3.4 million, and by May, Bleacher Report noted an increase to $3.7 million.

Now after a multimillion-dollar deal with social media platform Passes, Olivia Dunne’s NIL value stands at a rough $4 million. “Passes allows me to monetize my creativity and expertise in ways that were previously unavailable to college athletes,” Dunne told Forbes in May 2024. With Dunne returning for another season with the LSU Tigers, that value is only projected to climb higher.
The college gymnastics icon herself admitted to NIL playing a part in her decision to take one more shot at the NCAA championships. “I mean brands do like that I’m a student-athlete. I won’t lie,” Dunne said in The Money Game season finale. So, it is not a matter of if, but when Olivia Dunne reaches the point of paying for her own private jet.
