Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the famous twins who rose to fame as infants on the sitcom Full House, celebrate their 40th birthday on June 13, 2026. Once two of the biggest TV and film stars of the 1990s, they have since retreated from the limelight, focusing on their fashion empire and private lives.
Breakout Success
The twins achieved global fame by sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on ABC's Full House from 1987 to 1995. They built a multi-million dollar media empire through Dualstar Entertainment Group, starring in numerous TV movies and films like Passport to Paris and New York Minute.
Acting Retirement
Mary-Kate and Ashley officially retired from acting in 2012. Their last film together was New York Minute (2004). Ashley made minor cameos afterward, while Mary-Kate appeared in Weeds and Beastly before stepping away.
Shift to High Fashion
After leaving Hollywood, the twins dedicated themselves to luxury fashion labels, notably The Row and Elizabeth and James. The Row, founded in 2006, is a leader in quiet luxury. Ashley serves as CEO, Mary-Kate as Creative Director. They opened a Paris store in 2024 and won CFDA Accessory Designers of the Year in 2025. They declined to appear in the Full House spin-off Fuller House.
Personal Lives
The twins lead private lives. Ashley married artist Louis Eisner in December 2022; they have a son named Otto, born in 2023. Mary-Kate married French banker Olivier Sarkozy in 2015 but divorced in 2021. She remains single and focuses on work and equestrian riding.
Social Media and Net Worth
Mary-Kate and Ashley have no personal social media accounts, only The Row's official Instagram. Their combined net worth is estimated at $500 million, primarily from The Row, which was valued at $1 billion after selling a minority stake to Chanel's owners. They also own properties in New York City.
