Though actress Elizabeth Olsen has been appearing in films large and small for nearly a decade,
her latest role in the Disney+ production "WandaVision" has a whole host of critics
paying tribute to her acting prowess.
Since 2014, she has been appearing as the Marvel Comics character Wanda Maximoff in
various MCU movies and, more recently, in "WandaVision."
Given her fairly recent rise to mainstream notoriety, it makes sense that some fans have
only just recently realized that Elizabeth is the younger sister of perhaps the most
iconic twins in show business — Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Since their debut on "Full
House," the twin sister duo has crafted an entire empire of wealth and quiet success.
Elizabeth said during an interview with "The Jess Cagle Show" that she was very different
from her sisters.
"My sisters didn't love [...] live theatre. They didn't love live audiences. They were
pretty shy and it made them nervous. I was the one that made everyone come to see me
perform a musical that we made within two weeks and they had to see three of them every
summer."
However, despite her own recent successes, Elizabeth Olsen's net worth looks like pocket
change compared to the massive fortune amassed by her twin sisters.
Presently, the Olsen twins are collectively worth $500 million, with each twin owning
up to half of the net worth. This impressive sum comes from a variety of endeavors, including
profitable acting careers, fashion brands, and real estate ventures, per Cosmopolitan.
At just six months old, the Olsen twins took on the role of Michelle Tanner in "Full House."
The twins, who played the character in shifts to abide by child labor laws, only made $2,400
per episode in the beginning, but that number soon jumped to $80,000 per episode in later
seasons of the show.
Then, after starring in a number of films, the twins began building their fashion empire,
which now includes luxury fashion brands The Row, which generates between $100 million
and $200 million a year in sales according to Business of Fashion, and Elizabeth and
James, which rakes in an estimated $89 million per year according to Cosmopolitan.
Mary-Kate Olsen, along with her ex-husband Olivier Sarkozy, also dabbled in real estate.
Throughout the course of their relationship, the pair purchased and flipped several New
York townhouses, often selling them for millions more than what they originally paid.
Of course, the Olsens are fairly private people when it comes to their modern-day income,
so their actual net worth could be much higher than the already-generous $500 million estimate.
Elizabeth Olsen, the actor and younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, has amassed
an impressive fortune of her own, even if it pales in comparison to her sisters' sprawling
empire. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the "WandaVision" actress is worth approximately
$11 million. One can assume that much of this fortune comes from Elizabeth's part in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff, as well as her other high-profile acting roles.
While it is unknown how much Elizabeth has made on each MCU project, the salaries of
other actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe may provide a glimpse into how much the actress
tends to be paid for her work as the Scarlet Witch.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth
all made between $15 and $20 million for their work on 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," which
Elizabeth also starred in. While her part was relatively small when compared to her
more famous co-stars, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the actress made
at least a few million on the film.
"You took everything from me."
"I don't even know who you are."
Other members of the Olsen family have also found fortune and some small amount of fame.
According to The Richest, Courtney Taylor Olsen, the 25-year-old half-sister to Elizabeth,
Mary-Kate, and Ashley, has appeared in small films like "Malignant Spirits: Sense of Fiction"
and "YOLO: The Movie." Trent Olsen, the siblings' 37-year-old brother, is a former actor and
comic book writer, according to Bustle.
