Life of the famous twins Mary Kate and Ashley
The life of the famous twins was marked by scandals. One was also linked to the death of the legendary actor.
The twins Olsen were once the biggest children's and teenage stars. Before they turned 20, their fortune was estimated at $ 100 million. However, today, more than 500 million are in their bank account. We had the opportunity to see them on the big screens 15 years ago. Despite that, these thirty-four-year-olds are still among the top 100 richest stars in the world. It is a fascinating fact that at the age of only six, they became the youngest producers in the history of Hollywood. The company for the production of films, series, magazines, and video games "Dualstar Entertainment" was founded in 1993, and four years later they could boast of the titles of millionaires.
The focus shifted from the film industry to fashion, and the twins became prominent promoters of boho style and bohemian clothing. While some consider them fashion icons, others do not like their style of dress in the least, so negative comments about their appearance can often be heard. "They look like homeless people, and they have so much money," is a very common remark of fashion critics and audiences.
However, it seems that these comments do not bother them in the least, so in 2006 they founded a fashion house that operates successfully. The sisters have announced that they have no intention of returning to acting. They expressed a desire to spend the rest of their lives as far away from the cameras as possible. Since they stood in front of them for the first time when they were only six months old, this desire of theirs does not cause surprise. This is supported by the fact that the twins refuse to join social networks, so they do not have official profiles on any popular application.
"It simply does not suit us at this moment" said Mary Kate when they were offered to make another film a few years ago.
Although they try to live as peacefully and away from the public eye as possible, their lives are often the subject of many media reports. Their love life has repeatedly filled the front pages of magazines. This is especially true of the younger Mary Kate. Some media have linked her to the death of actor Heath Ledger, with whom she was allegedly in a love affair at the time.
Namely, after the masseuse found the actor unconscious in his New York apartment on January 28, 2008, she first called Mary Kate twice, and only then the ambulance. She then requested immunity through a lawyer, but all possible suspicions were dismissed when the death was declared an accidental overdose.
Seven years later, news broke that she had married 17-year-older banker Oliver Sarkozy, the brother of former French President Nicolas. In April 2020, to the surprise of many, she filed for divorce.
"She was focused on work, while he, like many French people, wanted the family to be in the first place. He did not know that he could not control a girl who earned her millions from a young age. " these are the words with which the close friend of the couple commented on the news of the collapse of their marriage.
The Daily Mail wrote in April that the situation between Mary Kate and Olivier, who began a relationship in 2012, was very complicated, and that the banker and half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy forced his ex-partner to move out of the apartment where they lived, without even warning her about it.
By the way, Mary Kate once mentioned how marriage helped her set priorities in life, so she got rid of the "crazy life" filled with endless fun. She is known to have struggled with eating disorders in her youth, and it has been speculated that she also used narcotics.
On the other hand, the two-minute older twin Ashley is considered the "golden sister" of the Olsen family. After finishing school, she continued to work diligently on creating a family fashion brand and placing accompanying products with their signature on the world market. In 2005, she found herself in the midst of a scandal when, based on the photos she took, she was publicly called out for drug use. She sued the weekly that published this story, after which she was granted compensation in the amount of 40 million dollars for damaging her reputation. As for her love life, since 2017 she has been in a relationship with the artist Luis Eisner. The twins currently live in New York's prestigious Upper East Side neighborhood.
