Olivia Dunneis getting candid about her money.
“I usually don’t ever talk about money,” Dunne began. “I would say it’s…six figures,” she continued. When pushed for a ball-park figure of her fee, Dunne admitted it was over $500,000. “Yeah, I’m very fortunate I mean, it’s just crazy to me.”

Earlier in the podcast episode, theSports Illustrated Swimsuitissue star insisted that she “doesn’t just sell anything to my audience” and only takes deals that “feels right with me.”
“I would hope that I could make a lot of money with NIL,” Dunne continued later on in the interview. “I didn’t know when I started growing my social media that this rule was ever going to change. I started growing my social media just because I like to do it, ever since I was 10 years old.”

When asked where she wants to take her career after gymnastics, Dunne replied, “I definitely want to do something entrepreneurial. I love working with brands and I feel like over time, like the past two years, I’ve learned so much from working with brands that I definitely want to have my own thing on day, my own product, or something."
“I don’t know exactly what yet, but I definitely want to have my own thing,” she added.
On Tuesday, Dunne marked the Fourth of July with some photos posted on her Instagram Story. The gymnast shared a mirror selfie as she wore a woven hat, crop top and unbuttoned jeans, revealing a pair of star-printed bottoms underneath. “Happy 4th,” Dunne captioned, adding a U.S. flag emoji.
