THE Olsen twins may have gotten their big break at the age of nine months old when they split the role of Michelle Tanner, but the duo has enjoyed long, full careers that continue to thrive.
Born moments apart on June 13, 1986, in Sherman Oaks, California, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were propelled into stardom when the hit television show Full House debuted in 1989.
What is the Olsen twins' net worth?
The twins combined net worth is estimated to be around $500 million as of 2021, wealth that began accumulating when they began their acting careers at less than a year old, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Full House was a grand success and ran for eight seasons and was syndicated in 25 countries, propelling the fraternal twins into child stardom.
Mary Kate and Ashley went on to star in a total of 36 films side by side between 1992 and 2004, solidifying themselves as child stars.
To supplement their movies, they also had a series of books, magazines, clothing, and shoes, that contributed bit by bit to help them build their empire.
Their participation in the entertainment industry accumulated the twins about $137million in wealth. They were still teenagers at the time.
Do the Olsen twins still act?
The child stars, now both 35, began to pull back from the spotlight around 2006 and looked instead towards a career in fashion, establishing their luxury brand The Row.
Mary Kate told Allure magazine in 2013 she was "not great at not being able to control the end product."
Ashley said she didn't feel she could give "100 percent" of her time to a film. They have both focused on their careers in fashion.
Mary Kate and Ashley declined to return to the reboot of their old show, Fuller House, in 2016.
