It’s time to shake off the dull vibes and unload the weight that Jordan Chiles has perhaps been carrying around since her bronze medal heartbreak in Paris. The good news is that her recent whereabouts suggest she might have made up her mind to move on! Out and about in New York City, Chiles has been game-hopping—first spotted at the US Open finals and then at the Barclays Center for the WNBA match between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces.

‘That girl,’ Chiles, is also embracing her love for fashion as she owned the runway at the New York Fashion Week recently. Watching her pull off a leotard-inspired outfit and taking bold strides down the ramp as she closed the Kim Shui Studio fashion show, one could hardly tell her different from a model! And now, the latest news is- Chiles is now ready to tick a goal off her bucket list!

Jordan Chiles is all in for more NIL deals

Standing right back up after the Paris Olympics jolt, Jordan Chiles is now aiming to go out firing on all cylinders, in terms of monetizing her NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). Coming Live on Instagram on September 9, Jordan Chiles’ answer to the question, ” looking forward to break NIL record?” was a crystal-clear indication of the plans she is harboring in her mind. To this end, she backed her initial laugh with a strong, “I am always ready to do as many deals possible” statement.

Well, why not? The UCLA star is fresh off a team gold medal from her second Olympic stint. At the top of her game, she sure believes in striking while the iron is hot. While Olivia Dunne, the only gymnast in the top 10 rank, currently enjoys an estimated net worth of $3.9M and a 5.3M following on Instagram, Chiles is still far away from this mark. But reaching there will hardly require a major shift from her end. For Chiles, has always been maximizing her NIL opportunities by putting deals down on paper.

Constantly posting content, Jordan Chiles has amassed a whopping 1.5 million followers on her Instagram. By regularly sharing branded content, she significantly benefits from these promotions. Landing even one lucrative deal can be a game-changer for celebrities, but Chiles has several under her belt. Some of the recent brands featured on her feed include Milani Cosmetics, Too Good & Co., Bliss, Invisalign, Bubbl’r, Purple, Playtex, and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. And the list doesn’t stop there.

The Washington native scored a major NIL deal in March 2024 when she signed with the dating app, Bumble, as their NIL partner and, in turn, selected Margzetta Frazier for the NIL sponsorship. This deal marked a roaring success and breathed fresh life into her existing partnerships with Pottery Barn, Nike, L’Oréal Paris USA, Gymshark, Toyota, and more. Now, she’s ready for a fresh start as she returns to UCLA.

Jordan’s UCLA shift on cards soon

It’s time to shift back to basics! Following the Paris Olympics, Jordan Chiles announced that she would return to UCLA Gymnastics for the 2025 season, a move that thrilled Bruins fans to the core. “I am returning back to UCLA to represent the Bruins for my two remaining years of college,” she announced back in August. And now, she signals that under UCLA Gymnastics, she may open doors for more brand deals.

In 2022, Jordan Chiles’ active participation on the NIL front earned the title of ‘Breakthrough Athlete of the Year’ at UCLA Gymnastics. And judging by how things have been going so far, she looks in great form to surpass that mark this time around. In fact, her recent NIL milestone came just before the 2024 Paris Olympics when the UCLA gymnast launched her own NIL apparel collection. Teaming up with Campus Ink’s NIL store, various designs and patterns of t-shirts from the “Team Chiles” collection went live on the site.

With this, Jordan Chiles became eligible to earn from the merchandise payouts on each piece. This turned out a rather favorable attempt. As Campus Ink’s Director of Marketing & Communications, Sean Ellenby hailed her standing among the fans, “The reception from Jordan’s community has been incredible and it is truly one of our favorite activations to date.” Given these, do you think she can come close to replacing top NIL student-athletes on the charts?
