Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy Eye This $22 Million NYC Love Nest

This is what happens when you combine the fortunes of a billionaire former child star/current fashion entrepreneur and the brother of the ex-president of France.That totals more than enough moolah to drop on a $22 million family pad.

Yep, we’re talking about Mary-Kate Olsen and her fiancé Olivier Sarkozy, who have been recently scouring the priciest nabes of NYC to find the home of their soon-to-be newlywed dreams.

According to the New York Post, the odd couple recently browsed a 15-room townhouse in Manhattan’s posh Carnegie Hill area that went on the market last year for a cool $24 million. And at 7,200 square feet, it is just big enough to match the pint-sized twin's 4-carat vintage Cartier diamond ring.

The grand Romanesque Revival home was built over 100 years ago and underwent a recent renovation to fit the uber-private pair’s high standards like 5 huge floors of rare NYC space, even rarer central air, radiant heat in the bathrooms, A-list appliances, and a full security system.

And because one is just not enough for this socialite duo, there are two front doors that showcase a gallery of polished marble, while the other leads to a reception room with original inlay floors and 12-foot ceilings for entertaining in style.

The parlor floor can be found up the curved staircase or if the future Mister and Missus just can’t bare the thought of walking, they can hop in the elevator.

The designer can perfect her cooking skills when it comes to whipping up dishes for her soon-to-be two step-kids in the immaculate kitchen that's swathed in white marble, and the growing fam can spend some quality bonding time in the back garden.

Mary-Kate Olsen: "I Just Learned How to Brush My Hair"

Hair-raising confessions! In a March 14 interview with Elle magazine, designer duo Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both 27, reveal their hidden beauty talents… or the lack thereof. Newly-engaged sister Mary-Kate told the magazine that she feels like she has just recently learned the most basic haircare practice of all: how to brush her golden tresses.

"You know, the truth is I feel like I just learned how to brush my hair like last week!" the newly engaged twin told the magazine, laughing. While she may have been joking, it's not such a far-fetched comment given her low-key hairstyles.

Sister Ashley admitted to having a bit more talents in the beauty department. "My friend actually also made me cut her hair the other day and that didn't look too bad either," Ashley shared. "She had long hair, too. It was down to here and I cut it up to here. She made me do it, but it looks great. I made it a blunt, A-line haircut. And then we had a professional come in after and clean it up a bit! But it was pretty good on its own."

The secret to the twins' naturally glam hairstyles isn't brushing technique or the perfect cut. Their hairstylist Mark Townsend revealed that a key product creates the perfect amount of volume and grit. "They are blessed with having great texture and natural wave in their hair, so we don't have to spend a lot of time to get that perfectly tousled look," Townsend told the Coveteur. "The biggest secret is the dry shampoo it gives the hair such amazing texture."

All the Details on Mary-Kate Olsen's Engagement Ring

You’re probably heard that Mary-Kate Olsen is now engaged to Olivier Sarkozy, and she is not sporting a very, very large ring on THAT finger.

According to the sleuths at Stylecaster, Olsen’s engagement ring is a vintage Cartier (so Mary-Kate), purchased at a Sotheby’s jewelry auction in NYC on February 6.

The center European-cut diamond clocks in at approximately four carats framed by 16 sapphires, and the petals are set with single-cut diamonds.

The circa 1953 ring was originally owned by a Tennessee jewelry collector and was estimated to go for between $40,000 and $60,000 at the auction. It was ultimately purchased for $81,250.

That's a relatively small sum in comparison to Kim Kardashian‘s engagement ring from Kanye West, for instance, is a perfect, D flawless cushion-cut diamond ring created by Lorraine Schwartz that’s estimated to be worth upwards of $8 million.
