Everything you want to know about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Hey, I hear so little, how are those two doing actually? Ha, this calls for a trip down memory lane. Everything you need/want/will want to know about the most stylish twins in the fashion world.

Say whut: the sisters are not identical twins at all
They are fraternal twins, which simply means they are ‘just’ sisters who happened to be born on the same day. How can two sisters look so much alike? Sorry, but I really find this a mystery.

The sisters engage in twin telepathy
Sort of. They once claimed that they both felt the pain when one of them was stung by a bee. Afterwards, they couldn't remember who the real victim was. Spooky.

The twins switched roles as little girls
Reason? They were still too young for all the acting work. It became a problem when the toddlers‘ teeth started to grow, as one grew faster than the other. And here it comes: because the difference was too clearly visible on screen, the girls had to wear dentures.

 
The duo became millionaires at, uh, 10 years old...
Mary-Kate and Ashley immediately became the youngest self-made millionaires in American history.

Around their twenties, they stopped acting...
And threw themselves into their fashion house The Row. In addition, they also have the clothing line Elizabeth & James, named after their brother and now also famous sister.

And that whole entrepreneurship in fashion isn't going too badly...
In fact: the two are doing tremendously well with an estimated joint fortune of – I looked it up – 400 million euros. Wow.

They don't have Instagram
They don't find it necessary. They actually prefer not to give interviews about themselves. Taking a selfie together? They did that once in 2016 and immediately made the news. Ashley told Vogue what the reason was for retreating from social media: ‘We have spent our whole lives trying to keep people from having that accessibility. We are very fond of our privacy.’

According to fans, the two are starting to look less and less alike...
Reason? Botox. Additionally, their difference in skin color is something that keeps fans intrigued. Not surprising, given that Mary-Kate has been a fan of tanning beds for years, unlike her sister.

Ashley also has a second name, by the way
Namely: Fuller. But Mary-Kate and Ashley-Fuller didn't sound that catchy, so they skipped the name.
