You got it, dude.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will pay $140,000 to 185 interns who worked for their fashion brand to settle a wage theft lawsuit filed in 2015, according to court documents filed in Manhattan Federal Court.

Each intern will receive a $530 payment from the former child star twins and the rest of the money will cover lawyers’ fees, if approved by a judge.

The 31-year-old sisters are worth more than $300 million.

The former interns, who filed the suit against the Olsens’ Dualstar Entertainment company, claimed that they should have been paid minimum wage plus overtime, because they were doing the kind of work their paid colleagues had done but without compensation.

Shahista Lalani, the lead plaintiff, clocked 50 hours a week between May 2012 and September 2012 at the company as an unpaid intern, the suit claimed.

Her responsibilities included inputting data into spreadsheets, making tech sheets, running personal errands for paid employees, organizing materials, cleaning, photocopying and sewing, according to court documents.

The Olsens founded Dualstar when they were just 6. The company makes everything from videos, books and dolls to cosmetics and clothes. They started their fashion brand The Row in 2006. The twins began their acting careers at 9 months old, together playing Michelle Tanner in the popular show “Full House.”

Ashley Olsen spotted smooching financier 30 years her senior.

A call to Dualstar was not answered. Attorney’s representing Lalani did not respond to requests for comment.
