Richest Actor: Most people may imagine Hollywood heavyweights like Tom Cruise and George Clooney, or even up-and-coming moguls like Reese Witherspoon and Selena Gomez, when they think of the world’s wealthiest actors. However, a far less expected person, Jami Gertz. She has the title of the richest actor in the world.
From Cult Films to $8 Billion:
Gertz, who is best known for her parts in cult favorites like The Lost Boys (1987), Twister (1996), and the sitcom Still Standing (2002), may not be well-known today, but according to media sources, she has an astounding estimated net worth of $8 billion. That amount greatly exceeds the wealth of ordinary A-list celebrities, and her marriage to millionaire Tony Ressler is largely responsible. Ressler has a net worth of more than $10 billion and is a co-founder of Ares Management. Gertz has previously made it clear, meanwhile, that she wasn’t exactly the one who married into affluence.
