Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's dorm room up for grabs

Got $11.995 million lying around? Eager to follow in the dizzyingly high stiletto-clad footsteps of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Then this could be your lucky day.
The palatial five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath Manhattan penthouse for which the twin titans shelled out a mere $7.3 million three years ago is back on the market, reports the New York Observer. (For those whose math skills are as deficient as the siblings' septuagenarian hobo chic fashion choices, that's a potential profit of $4.695 million, less the major coin they spent on renovations.)
MK and Ashley purchased the 5,725-square-foot West Village condo when they enrolled at New York University.
But their abbreviated college experience soon turned the elite digs, which were once labeled "the world's biggest dorm room" by the New York Times, into a rental (see pics here).
The monthly price for the 12-room, 53-window apartment, which comes complete with separate master suites and views stretching from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building? A bracing $35,000.
The pocket-size sisters are still spending plenty of time in the Big Apple. On Wednesday, Mary-Kate looked back in the pink as she stepped out in vertiginous boots following her hospitalization last week for a reported kidney infection. Her pouty-lipped sis, meanwhile, was spotted Wednesday night at a museum event that also just happened to attract her good pal Lance Armstrong.

Pssh, I've got my palatial 15 by 10 dorm room, why would I want that?

Noticeably absent from the pics is the kitchen. Love it.

They would have to give me more than that for 11 million dollars.
The pink room is HORRIBLE!

Man. I dont often get jealous, but this makes me so pissed off.

I like the Olsen's, I think they are sensible as far as celebs go.

But damnit, what did they do to earn this vast fortune? They were born cute twins in southern CA. THATS IT. And they were booked on a gig on a TV show and has parents who kept the moneytrain going.

Thats it. Coulda been any of us and it isnt like they were born geniuses. It was just the combination of cute, twins (bc of labor laws), and LA.

Pisses me off. They have more money than God just because of those 3 things.

/end rant.

It wasn't all rosy thought, was it? With that money came fame and the pressure to be perfect, and with that came anorexia. I'd rather be unwealthy and have a stable mind than rich and be unstable.

I thought they were hideous as kids. Whoever managed their empire for them gets a serious A+.

How tacky to have a telescope sitting right by the window. Or is it acceptable to openly spy on your NY neighbors?

I live in NY, and I would kill my neighbors if I caught them looking in at me.....I can see the headline in the Post "Woman shoves telescope into peeping tom"
