4. Elizabeth Olsen
Elizabeth Olsen’s acting career is still flourishing, but a fun fact about the star is that she also got a real estate license.
Olsen revealed that she once had a real estate license in a 2021 interview with W Magazine. She likely won’t be selling houses any time soon though, as she shared with the outlet that “it’s definitely expired.”
“I got my real estate license because I didn’t want to work in a restaurant in New York as a summer job. So I thought, I’ll work in a real estate office. I was dealing with my sister’s friend who was a realtor, and I dealt with his rental clients,” Olsen previously said to W Magazine.

Tamra Judge joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” back in 2007 for the third season of the show.

I put it on hold to film ‘RHOC’ for the past 12 years,” Judge told Us Weekly in 2020. “I kept my license active while filming because I knew there would come a day when I’d go back. That day has come and I’m excited to join Residential Angent Inc. in Corona Del Mar.”
