Overview
- Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen formally left acting in 2012 and have since focused full time on building their fashion businesses, chiefly The Row.
- The Row sold a minority stake to members of the Wertheimer family and Françoise Bettencourt Meyers in a deal reported to value the company near $1 billion while the sisters retain majority control.
- The brand has expanded its global retail footprint, including a Paris store opened in late 2024, and won industry recognition such as a CFDA accessory award in 2025.
- The twins keep strict privacy: they have no personal public social accounts and limit public appearances, though Ashley married Louis Eisner in December 2022 and had a son in 2023 while Mary-Kate’s divorce from Olivier Sarkozy was finalized in 2021.
- The sale and high-end investors signal mainstream luxury validation that could fund further international growth and deepen The Row’s role as a defining example of the ‘quiet luxury’ market while supporting the sisters’ estimated combined net worth of about $500 million.
