4. Giacomo and Giovanni Retired at the Age of 20
Celebrities are known to do strange things. Some retire from the public spotlight and pursue their own passions, as Howard Hughes did when he decided to stop performing and spend his free time flying. Some, like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson, mainly stop acting but remain in the public eye; others, like Emma Watson, use their celebrity to promote causes. And then there’s Betty White, who will probably stay in the public light until the day she dies. But if you have the money to do whatever you want and never have to work again, you have the freedom to live life largely on your terms.
After traveling and being exhibited for the first two decades of their lives, the twins became incredibly wealthy. Following their five-year tour of the United States, they returned to their home country of Italy, to the city of Venice, where they bought a villa. Though Venice has long been renowned for its arts cultural scene, the twins hardly ever left their home. They became social recluses, and very little is known about their lives after their retirement. Perhaps they got tired of being put on display for everyone to see. Or maybe this was a dream that they had long harbored: living a quiet life on their terms. They had the money to do it. The twins never had to work again.
