Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to Release Coffee Table Book

Add author to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s resume.

The 21-year-old twins — who topped last year’s Forbes Top Earning Stars Under 21 list with an estimated fortune of $40 million each — are publishing a coffee table book, Influence, through Penguin Young Readers Group.

It will feature “the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation,” Ashley said in a statement.

Among them: shoe guru Christian Louboutin, actress Lauren Hutton, photographer Terry Richardson and writer Bob Colacello.

“Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others,” Mary-Kate said.

The book — due this fall — will also feature exclusive photos of the twins and never-before-seen interviews with the two.
