The Olsen twins
The ultra-chic Mary-Kate and Ashley have taken the fashion firmament by storm with their label — The Row. At the age of six, they began starring together in TV, films, and video projects, which continued to their teenage years. Through their company Dualstar, the Olsens joined the ranks of the wealthiest women in the entertainment industry at a young age. The New York Times hailed Mary-Kate as a fashion icon for pioneering her signature homeless look. Oversized glares, boots, slouchy sweaters and fluid skirts have dazzled the red carpet. The twins were the faces of Badgley Mischka in 2006.

The work-a-holic daughter of Mukesh Ambani was student body council president in school, part of the football team and a trained pianist. At present, she is a sophomore at Yale and majoring in Psychology and South Asian Studies. Life coach Chhaya Momaya, who’s a family friend, says, “Isha works 14 hours a day in NYC and doesn’t even take breaks over weekends. She cleans her room and lives like a New Yorker. Also, she’s always calm and composed about everything.” In an interview with HELLO!
