Andreea Dragoi, a SAN JOSE swimming sensation, is vying for Olivia Dunne’s NIL title.
Last October, the Romanian beauty was named Miss US Nation 2022.
Dragoi won the award just months after winning Miss California.
She is a sophomore at SJSU and competes for the Spartans in freestyle and the 100m fly.
Previously, the Bucharest native competed in the World and European Junior Championships.
And her celebrity skyrocketed in 2022, thanks to her success both in and out of the pool.
Following her pageant wins, her growing legion of fans claim she’ll “need a wheelbarrow” for her NIL earnings this year.
Dragoi told SwimSwam after her Miss Nation triumph: “I am grateful for all the people I have in my life that make me happy and support me.
“And I am thankful that I now can have a say and influence the stereotypes and stigmas in the pageant and modeling world.
“This accomplishment means a better version of myself as I learn many new things from every pageant, every girl, every different culture, and lastly a new experience”.
With nearly 50,000 Instagram followers, she has a long way to go before catching up to LSU gymnast Dunne.
Livvy is the highest-earning female NIL athlete in the United States, with a net worth of $3.2 million.
Dunne has approximately 11 million online fans and became a millionaire at the age of 18.
Dragoi, on the other hand, is hot on her tail, having recently walked the runway at Bucharest Fashion Week.
One fan replied to her most recent glamour snaps: “You have the body of a goddess”.
Another said: “Wow….you are a gift from the gods!!!!”
While a third swooned: “Really…one stunning woman.”
And a fourth added: “You literally never cease to impress.”
