Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 18th birthday, June 13, 2004

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are a set of fraternal twins who have been working in the entertainment business since they were five months old. They are internationally known and are reported to be worth one hundred and fifty millions dollars each. As a rule, Mary-Kate and Ashley have always appeared together in their television and movie appearances.

Since the girls’ teen years there have been numerous countdowns to the day that the girls turn eighteen. Their eighteenth birthday is important not only because the girls are now of legal age, but their birthday is also the moment that they became individual people in the public eye. Since their eighteenth birthday they have appeared on magazine covers separately, chosen different paths of work and school, and have not restrained themselves in the entertainment business by only working together.
