Olivia Dunne had fans “on their knees barking and howling” with her newest bikini upload.
Over the last few years, the wealthy gymnast has become a household name. Dunne has 4.1 million Instagram followers and was just the newest swimsuit model to shoot for the respected publication Sports Illustrated.
It is reasonable to assume that the Louisiana State University athlete is pleased with all that has happened for her. And it looks that her millions of fans feel the same way about her work.
Dunne donned a grey figure-hugging gown that was exposed at the midriff for her most recent picture session with SI. Kneeling down into a position where she could sit on the backs of her heels, she looked around and smiled at the camera as the sea wind blew through her hair.
“I need a date to my brother’s wedding,” one fan said, clearly trying his luck. “She’s goated,” another added, citing the popular ‘Greatest of all Time’ tag.
“You are very pretty,” wrote another firm admirer before a fourth said, “on my knees barking and howling.” And the compliments kept on raining down as fellow SI model Brook Snader chimed in, saying “Ok yeah Louisiana baby,” referencing the university Dunne attends.
Dunne became a billionaire by signing partnerships with companies such as ESPN, Body Armour, Forever 21, and many more. She was allowed to profit from such partnerships once the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) eased restrictions on players earning money from the rights to their name, image, and likeness.
While she now had her fingers in a variety of pies, you could be forgiven for thinking SI was her favorite. “As soon as I got off the phone, I was jumping up and down,” Dunne told SI Swim of her reaction to the good news.
“I called my mom, even though you’re not supposed to tell anyone right away. I had to tell my mom.”
