New Delhi, July 12, 2024: When one talks about the richest and highest-earning actors in the world, names like Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, and even Shah Rukh Khan come to mind. And while all these superstars are filthy rich, their wealth pales in comparison to the world’s richest actor (or actress even). This person has a staggering net worth of $8 billion (Rs 66000 crore), much more than any celeb.

Jami Gertz is a name that not many cine fans would be familiar with. But she is the world’s richest actress and by a long margin at that. As per multiple reports, Gertz has a net worth of $8 billion (Rs 66000 crore), more than 15 times her nearest rival in the list of world’s richest actresses. Interestingly, Gertz has not had a very successful film or TV career. In fact, she does not have a single hit to her credit as a lead actress. Just how rich is Gertz? The combined wealth of the ten richest Indian actors - a list that includes Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar - would be less than half her net worth today.

Discovered in a talent hunt in the 80s, Jami Gertz made her debut with Endless Love in 1981, and went on to appear in supporting roles in several films over the 80s and 90s, including filler parts in iconic shows and films like Seinfeld, Twister, and Lost Boys. She is best remembered for playing Judy Miller in the 2002 TV show Still Standing, her most prominent starring role. For Twister, Gertz was even nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress. However, she did earn critical acclaim when she guest starred on the show Ally McBeal, for which she earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.

The secret to Jami Gertz’s enormous net worth

In 1989, Gertz married billionaire business executive Tony Ressler. Together, they are the co-owners of the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball, along with the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). This, along with a number of other business investments across the board, contributes to Gertz’s sizable wealth, something actors cannot hope to touch through traditional means.
