She’s the richest actress on the planet, but most people will find it hard to recognize her
Fame and fortune frequently go hand in hand.
A job in media and entertainment is one path to fame; some of the biggest actors in the world have millions of admirers worldwide.
However, if they are gifted enough, actors can earn good money in addition to being well-known for their roles. Production companies, sponsors, and customers alike greatly value the attention and business that a well-known brand may provide.
But even if you’ve probably heard of celebrities like Tom Cruise, Margot Robbie, and Brad Pitt, none of them have quite the same wealth as the richest actor on the planet.
Yes, it goes without saying that fame and money are frequently closely related; the more wealthy an actor is, the more well-liked they are.
Introducing Jami Gertz, the star of The Lost Boys and the richest actor in the world as of 2023 (her net worth is estimated to be $3 billion by NME).
However, you’re undoubtedly thinking, «Who is Jami Gertz?» despite her enormous net worth.
Indeed, one user wrote, «I’m off to Google first cos this is giving I don’t know who this person is,» in response to a photo of the star that went viral on social media recently.
«How come I hardly see Jami Gertz in movies?» another person said. Did she succeed as an actor, or does she have other sources of income?»
Gertz, though, had noteworthy roles in a number of prominent TV series and films, including This is Us, Modern Family, and Seinfeld. He also starred in Twister and Sixteen Candles.
Even though she made a brief comeback to the big screen in 2022 with the film I Want You Back, she has mainly avoided the limelight in recent years in favor of building her enormous wealth.
She shares a minority ownership in the Milwaukee Beavers and a sizable stake in the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks with her husband, Tony Ressler. And it’s obvious that their astute investments have paid off.
In actuality, Forbes estimates that Ressler’s net worth is approximately $10.8 billion.
She and her spouse have also made significant charitable contributions. According to Forbes, the Giving Back Fund named them as top donors in 2012 after they gave $10 million to the Ressler-Gertz Foundation, which supports Jewish, educational, health, and artistic initiatives.
Their charitable endeavors demonstrate that they are dedicated to giving back in addition to accumulating wealth. So who else in Hollywood donates as much to charity as they do?
Perhaps it’s time for Hollywood to produce a film about them, in which Gertz might even star!
