Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen may have been famous since infanthood, but it doesn't mean that they've been resting on their laurels.
"I think people looked at us with the perception of, 'Oh, you just have everything. You can do whatever.' [Strangers assumed we] had enough money to just do nothing - or why would we go to college? And it's such an uneducated perspective," said the twins, whose empire compounds their ambition. Already the owners of three brands - The Row, Elizabeth and James, and Olsenboyen - they recently bought a minority stake in e-commerce company Beachmint.com, where they serve as co-chairs.
"We still get the question. The question of: 'So do you like designing?'" Mary-Kate told Allure. "'How involved are you?' It's not like you wake up one day and have a huge company with four or five different companies within the companies."
Don't stop them now.
