He rather pursued a career in politics, and has even served on two presidential campaigns for the current president Barack Obama.

He has the likelihood to become one of the most notable and famous politicians of our time someday.

The singer-songwriter and DJ from England, Samantha Ronson is another celebrity who has a twin sister named Charlotte. Born on August 7th, 1977, the pair are possibly the only twins who are both successful and famous that is nearly as close as their physical resemblance given that Charlotte Ronson is a famous fashion designer. She opened her first store in 2002 on Elizabeth Street in New York City and currently, her clothing line has drawn numerous celebrities over the years. Her net worth is estimated to be whooping $45 million, so you will agree with me that she is growing almost as much as her sister is growing. The twins look so much alike both physically and otherwise no doubt.

Though her brother’s music career is yet to get anywhere close to the fame Alanis’s has earned, Wade still is doing a great a job and in making his own history given that he was named the “ambassador of Lululemon” back in 2004. A key reason for bestowing him with the title was because Wade is into yoga, and has been an instructor for the last two decades. He might rise to prominence like his sister if he continues to do better in his works.
