One usually doesn’t hear about college-level students becoming millionaires. But Olivia Dunne’s story is a different, and special one. Olivia, better known as Livvy, hails from New Jersey and has been the name of the game when it comes to earnings from brand deals and endorsements. From an early age, the gymnastics athlete learned how to use social media to her advantage, and has millions of people following her on TikTok and Instagram.

Though she has at times been criticized for bringing money on an upper pedestal than passion when it comes to sports, there is still no doubt that she is one of the most influential young athletes around currently. While her cushy brand deals have ensured that she earns enough to be comfortable, Dunne wants to change things up after she graduates.
