With so many superstars working well into their eighties and nineties, it’s still remarkable when one of them decides to retire, especially for reasons other than age or health. Some people leave their sector to pursue new interests or spend more time with their families. Some have had negative experiences in the public eye and cannot bear the thought of being in the spotlight again, while others simply do not want to work. But why should they not? With the millions of dollars they amass each year, most of these billionaires could retire before the age of 40. Even if their careers come to an end, many of these well-known celebrities leave behind legacies that will linger for decades.

Before they even graduated from elementary school, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were more famous than most of us would ever be. These teenage stars, affectionately known as “The Olsen Twins,” have remained as media enigmas since retiring from performing at the age of 18. They’ve generally avoided the spotlight since then, but their health has been the subject of public scrutiny. Nothing could keep the twins from retiring from the spotlight after they had made $100 million. They have, however, chosen to pursue careers in the fashion industry, launching their company The Row in 2006, with the intention of allowing the garments to speak for themselves.
