When you think about the actors with the most wealth, names like Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts might pop into your mind. But it might surprise you to learn that the world’s richest actor is someone who isn’t as well-known: Jami Gertz, famous for her role in “The Lost Boys.”

Jami Gertz surpasses big Hollywood names with a remarkable net worth of $3 billion, which is about £2.45 billion, making her the wealthiest actor as of 2023.

Even with such a vast fortune, Gertz isn’t as widely recognized as some might expect. Many people struggle to remember her roles, often looking online to find out more about who she is.

Gertz has appeared in popular films such as “Twister” and “Sixteen Candles,” and television shows including “Seinfeld” and “Modern Family.” Yet, her wealth doesn’t come only from her work on-screen.

Alongside her acting career, Gertz and her husband, Tony Ressler, who is a billionaire investor, have financial stakes in the sports world. They partly own the NBA team, the Atlanta Hawks, and also have a minority stake in the Milwaukee Brewers.

Gertz’s impact goes further than her business activities. She and Ressler are well-known for their charitable work. In 2012, they made headlines by donating a record-breaking $10 million to their Ressler-Gertz Foundation, which supports various causes including arts, education, health, and Jewish organizations.

Even if Jami Gertz isn’t a name that comes up in every household, her significant wealth and commitment to philanthropy unquestionably make her a standout in the world of entertainment.
