Mary-Kate Olsen
One half of the Olsen Twin empire, along with sister Ashley, Mary-Kate forms the richest symbiotic partnership in tween actor history. From baby star of Full House to scantily-dressed red-carpet attention-grabber, Mary-Kate has racked up nearly $150 million of net worth along the way.
While enrolled at NYU, Olsen suffered the pains of the end of a rocky love affair with Greek shipping heir and ladykiller Stavros Niarchos III, who left her for Paris Hilton. The stressful effects of the break-up caused her to end up leaving school. After dating David Katzenberg, she’s lately been seen with New York DJ Matt Creed.
Born in Sherman Oaks, the Olsen twins landed their starring role-sharing appearance on Full House at only five months old. The two stayed on the show for eight years, building an empire of kids movies, books, music, and their own fashion line along the way. In their teen years, Mary-Kate and Ashley switched over to sex symbols, to the excitement of men’s mags everywhere. Mary-Kate and Ashley remained inseparable in the media eye until Mary-Kate’s episode of anorexia, which cast her as the more rebellious of the two twins. Mary-Kate has now at last split from the shadow of Ashley, starring on her own for the first time in a movie about Andy Warhol called Factory Girl.
