Despite a not-so-successful film career, the world’s richest actress managed to build an empire that surpasses the wealth of any celebrity in the world.
When it comes to the wealthiest and highest-earning actors globally, names like Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, and even Shah Rukh Khan often stand out. Although these stars are immensely wealthy, but their fortunes are overshadowed by the world’s richest actress. She boasts a staggering net worth of $8 billion (Rs 66,000 crore), surpassing any other celebrity by a significant margin.
Jami Gertz may not be a familiar name to many movie buffs, but she holds the title of the world’s richest actress. According to multiple reports, Gertz has a net worth of $8 billion (Rs 66,000 crore), which is over 15 times more than her closest competitors in the industry. Just how wealthy is Gertz? The combined net worth of the richest Indian actors- including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Kahan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar- would amount to less than half of her net worth today.
Born in 1965 in Chicago, Jami Gertz kickstarted her acting career after being discovered in an 80s talent search. She made her film debut in 1981 with Endless Love. In 1987, she gained widespread recognition for her roles in Less Than Zero opposite Robert Downey Jr. That same year, she landed her most notable role in the vampire drama The Lost Boys.
In 1989, Gertz married billionaire business executive Tony Ressler. Together, they co-own the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball and the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). These ventures, along with various other business investments, have significantly contributed to Gertz’s substantial wealth. She and her husband together have a variety of business investments across the board, something actors cannot typically achieve through traditional means.
