Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
After starring on one of the greatest ’90s shows ever, it is truly no surprise that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a fortune. The twins began starring as Michelle Tanner on Full House in 1987 when they were just nine months old, eventually earning up to reportedly $80,000 per episode. While their TV role brought in significant earnings, they also starred in films such as It Takes Two (1995), though their exact pay check remains undisclosed.
By 2007, the 21-year-old twins secured a spot on Forbes’ Richest Women in Entertainment list. At the time, their combined net worth reached $100 million through Dualstar Entertainment Group, their privately held American mass media and entertainment company. Talk about being business savvy from day one!
