Olsen Twins Takeover Business |
1/02/2005 |
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen have taken complete control of their
business empire by buying out the lawyer who made it all
possible.
Robert Thorne was more than happy to sell his minority stake in
Dualstar LLC - the company which markets products bearing the
twins' names - after the 18-year-olds made him an offer he
couldn't refuse.
Thorne helped the teen millionairesses run Dualstar for 15
years, which manufactures clothes, make-up, books and Dvds under
the stars' names.
Thorne says, "The decision was to respect their desire to take
the helm perhaps a few years earlier than I had anticipated. I
didn't want to stand in their way provided I was taken care of,
as I was handsomely."
Ashley enthuses, "I am truly excited to continue the Dualstar
legacy we built with Robert and work hand in hand with Mary-Kate
to push the company to even higher heights." |
