Dragoi claimed the gong just months after winning the Miss California pageant.
She is currently in her sophomore year at San Jose State and competes for the Spartans in freestyle and 100m fly.
The Bucharest native has previously competed in World and European Junior Championships.
Her fame skyrocketed in 2022 with success both in and out of the pool.
Following her pageant wins, her growing legion of fans claim she’ll “need a wheelbarrow” for her NIL earnings this year.
Dragoi told SwimSwam after her Miss Nation triumph: “I am grateful for all the people I have in my life that make me happy and support me.
“And I am thankful that I now can have a say and influence the stereotypes and stigmas in the pageant and modeling world.
“This accomplishment means a better version of myself as I learn many new things from every pageant, every girl, every different culture, and lastly a new experience”.
With almost 50,000 followers on Instagram, she has some way to go to catch up with Louisiana State University gymnast Dunne.
Livvy is the top-grossing female NIL athlete in the US and has an estimated worth of $3.2million.
Dunne boasts around 11 million online fans and became a millionaire at the age of just 18.
But Dragoi is certainly hot on her heels, with the stunning Romanian recently hitting the catwalk at Bucharest Fashion Week.
One fan replied to her most recent glamour snaps: “You have the body of a goddess”.
Another said: “Wow….you are a gift from the gods!!!!”
While a third swooned: “Really…one stunning woman.”
And a fourth added: “You literally never cease to impress.”
Dragoi has suffered a number of injury setbacks in her quest to become a successful swimmer.
The Romanian has chosen to study rehabilitation sciences in college after suffering a partial ACL tear in 2021.
