Being a millionaire at the young age of 20 is an amazing feat. Sunisa Lee has not only reached this benchmark but excelled at it. Lee, came into the limelight after she became the women’s artistic individual all-around champion and also managed to win a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Thereafter, Sunni Lee became an indispensable part of the Olympics family. Recently, she has become a part of a whole new ‘family’.
The artistic gymnast and Olympic champion has many accolades to her name, all of which are not only gymnastics-related. Her fame has ensured that she garnered several brand deals and endorsements, which contributed to her worth of $3 million. And now, another brand has been added to that long list.
Sunisa Lee becomes a part of a new community
Lee, who has also been named in the TIME magazine’s most influential people list, is already associated with many brands that have capitalized on her NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). Recently, D’Amelio, a luxury footwear brand, has added Sunni Lee to their list of endorsers.
The 20-year-old made the announcement by sharing a photo of the welcome gift that she received from the brand – a gorgeous pair of hot pink heels that were studded all over – on her Instagram stories. The welcome package said, “Welcome to the family!” Along with the photo of the gift, she wrote, “thank you to the d’amelio’s for these, i’m obsessed”. The footwear brand forms a part of the D’Amelio brand family, which was founded by Marc and Heidi D’Amelio.
The footwear brand itself was created by Charli, Dixie, and Heidi D’Amelio, along with designer Lauren DiCicco. The brand started to gain traction after the videos featuring the footwear went viral on social media. And now, D’Amelio Footwear has brought on board the perfect candidate to take its brand to the next level.
Lee and her plethora of endorsement deals
In the same series of stories in which Sunisa Lee shared the news about D’Amelio footwear, she also shared the photo of a package that Target had sent her. This is because Target also forms a part of the long list of brands that are working with Lee. Some other notable brands include CLIF bar, Amazon, Gatorade, and Invisalign.
Earlier this year, the St. Paul native also signed an endorsement deal with the notable brand Crocs. According to Kare, Lee is a huge Crocs lover and always uses them when she gets off the mats. Her deals with lucrative brands amount to almost $1.5 million. With her 1.6 million followers (and growing!) on social media, Lee makes for an attractive partner for any brand.
