Have an interesting take?

Olivia Dunne isn’t shy about singing her sister’s praises! In an interview with GQ Sports, Livvy gushed, “Julz is great! She’s with me right now. She’s with me all the time.” And Julz isn’t just hanging around—she’s the genius behind the scenes, handling the editing and putting the final touches on their content before it hits the brands.

Thanks to Julz’s social media wizardry, Olivia Dunne has rocketed to the top as the highest-paid female athlete and the second-highest NIL earner, according to On3. And get this—she’s the only woman in the top 5! Olivia’s social media savvy has landed her some stellar brand deals, including Vuori, Accelerator Active Energy, Nautica, Purina Pro Plan, and American Eagle Outfitters. She even snagged the No. 48 spot on Forbes’s 2023 Top Creators list, bringing in a cool $2.3 million.

So, what’s Julz’s secret sauce? In a February 2023 chat on The Purple Room Podcast, she revealed, “So any of her TikTok ads, I’m the one who edits, directs films, all of them.” Julz is hands-on with everything from filming to fine-tuning. She added, “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.”

With Julz’s star rising alongside Olivia’s, we’re eager to see what’s next for her! Do you have any guesses on what big thing she might tackle next? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
