Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne celebrates after accomplishing 'dream' as gymnast grabs Forbes Top 100 Creator honor
Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is an accomplished artistic gymnast and social media sensation. The 22-year-old boasts over 5.3 million followers on Instagram and over 8 million on TikTok.
That popularity was recognized by popular business magazine Forbes. On Monday, Forbes posted a list of the top 100 content creators/influencers, which included Dunne.
Dunne took to Instagram to share the post to her story.
"Such a dream thank you @forbes ✨," Dunne captioned her story.
With the change in the NIL guidelines by the NCAA, Olivia Dunne is now able to capitalize financially on her strong social media presence. According to Business Insider, the gymnast is the highest-valued female college athlete, with an approximate NIL valuation of $3.9 million, and second overall, behind only Shedeur Sanders, quarterback of the Colorado Buffaloes.
All profits made off of college athletes' name, image and likeness were previously kept by their universities, but now, they go directly to the athletes. For Dunne, that has opened up opportunities to work with several brands, and the 22-year-old currently has partnerships with Vuori, Reebok, Nautica and American Eagle, among others.
