The college gymnast wished her fans a Merry Christmas last week

And she has nine million followers combined across her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

Dunne kissed goodbye to her teenage years in 2022 as she turned 20 years old.

She was also named one of the top female influencers in the world.

And Dunne is said to rake in $2m a year in earnings from her fame.

Olivia has been a gymnast since she was a child and is now one of the top earners in college sports.

NCAA rules meant the US National Team star wasn’t allowed to make any money from her internet fame.

But that policy was dropped in June 2021 with college athletes now allowed to profit off their image and name.

That led Olivia to sign up with a talent agency WME Sports, and she landed a sponsorship deal with an activewear brand.

Her earnings have since skyrocketed, but the 20-year-old has faced criticism in some parts.

Stanford Women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer spoke in the Times piece, which said her opinion on the NIL deals is that they 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.

“We’re fighting for all the opportunities to compete, to play, to have resources, to have facilities, to have coaches, and all the things that go with Olympic-caliber athletics. This is 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 badᴀss.”

Dunne has plenty of admirers and often has fans asking her out.

Earlier in 2022 she handed a college sports star ‘two Ls in one night’.

The LSU star had a brilliant response when she was mentioned by Mississippi State player Jordan Morant.

Morant’s team took on the LSU Tigers in a college football showdown this fall.

Before the game, safety Morant tried to shoot his sH๏τ with Olivia.

He said in a TikTok video: “When we play LSU tomorrow and Livy Dunne is out there somewhere.”

But the gymnast responded immediately, saying: “Good luck but geaux tigahs.”

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.
