In 2022, OLIVIA DUNNE experienced a spectacular rise.
The collegiate gymnast from LSU is now well-known throughout the country.
And her Instagram and TikTok profiles together have nine million followers.
In 2022, Dunne reached 20 and bid her adieus to her adolescence.
She was also listed as one of the most powerful women in the world.
And Dunne reportedly earns $2 million a year from her celebrity.
Since she was a young girl, Olivia has competed in gymnastics and is now one of the highest paid athletes in college sports.
The star of the US National Team was prohibited from profiting from her online fame by NCAA regulations.
But as of June 2021, collegiate athletes are now permitted to make money off of their reputation and image.
As a result, Olivia joined the WME Sports talent agency and secured a sponsorship contract with a sportswear company.
Since then, her earnings have increased, but the 20-year-old has come under some criticism.
Tara VanDerveer, the head coach of Stanford’s women’s basketball team, was quoted in the Times article and expressed her belief that the NIL arrangements are “regressive.”
She said: “I guess sometimes we have this swinging pendulum, where we maybe take two steps forward, and then we take a step back.
But Olivia was defended by another sport beauty queen who had a 2022 to remember – Paige Spiranac.
Golf personality Paige said: “I’m so sick of women belittling accomplishments of other women because it’s done differently than they would.
“Livvy Dunne is getting hate for making 2 million a year.
“She’s built a successful business (at 20) all while being a student-athlete. That’s badass.”
Dunne has a large following and is frequently asked out by admirers.
She gave a collegiate athlete “two Ls in one night” earlier in 2022.
Jordan Morant, a player for Mississippi State, referenced the LSU standout, and she responded well.
This fall, Morant’s squad played host to the LSU Tigers in a college football matchup.
Morant, a safety, attempted to make a shot with Olivia before the game.
He said in a TikTok video: “When we play LSU tomorrow and Livy Dunne is out there somewhere.”
LSU Tigers beat Mississippi State Bulldogs 31-16.
And Morant later joked: “Two Ls in one night.”
Olivia can get used to more fans asking her on a date in the New Year if her remarkable 2022 is anything to go by.
And Morant later joked: “Two Ls in one night.”
If Olivia’s incredible 2022 is any indication, she can get used to more people asking her out on dates in the upcoming year.
