Whether they're fraternal or identical, there's something so cool about being a twin, and when that twin happens to be a celebrity, then it just adds to the cool factor. Some twins are in the spotlight front-and-center, while others like to stay behind the scenes. Whatever the case may be, like all twins, the celebrity kind have a special bond, too.

From the famous duo of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder and his brother Dan, take a look at our favorite celebrity twins. Which one is your favorite?

Arguably the most famous twins on our list, (definitely the richest!) Mary-Kate (right) and Ashley (left) Olsen have been in the spotlight their entire lives, having started out as infant actresses on Full House. They are fashion icons and are happy to lead very private lives doing what they love most, which is working in the fashion industry and spending time together.

Fraternal twins Gisele and Patricia Bundchen are beauties to be sure, and as close as sisters can be. While Patricia didn't choose the modeling route like Gisele did, she stays close to her twin sister by being her spokesperson and manager.
