MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are famous twins who had a huge influence as child stars. The twins had their acting debut on Full House as baby Michelle Tanner, which catapulted them into fame and made them famous child stars in the late ’80s and early to mid-’90s. Mary-Kate and Ashley then went on to portray more starring roles and even had their own films, including Passport to Paris (1999) and When in Rome (2002). Through their company Dualstar, the Olsens joined the ranks of the wealthiest women in the entertainment industry at a young age.

The Olsen twins had decided to step out from the spotlight and made an investment in the fashion industry. Today, they are successful and are also known as the industry’s most victorious fashion designers whom people look up to. The Olsens have appeared on the Forbes “Celebrity 100” list since 2002; in 2007, Forbes ranked them (collectively) as the eleventh-richest women in entertainment, with an estimated net worth of US$100 million.
