This is due to the fact that the wealthiest actor in the world has hardly worked in the business in recent years, having only made a few appearances.
Actor Jami Gertz from The Lost Boys is the person we are talking about; if you are unaware, he has an incredible net worth of $3 billion as of 2023.
Although you may be wondering, “Who is she?” she has been there for years, just beneath your nose.
Her name and face were unrecognizable to one guy online, who had to hunt for her: “I am headed to Google first since this is offering I have no idea who this individual is.
Another said, “How come I hardly see Jami Gertz in movies?,” inquiring as to where she had gone since leaving the Hollywood sign behind. Did she succeed at acting, or does she have other sources of income? Indeed!
Despite having roles in movies like Twister (which I really like), Seinfeld, Modern Family, and This is Us, Gertz made the decision to broaden her horizons after gaining notoriety in 1981.
She did, after all, have a brief appearance in I Want You Back in 2022, but she has mostly disappeared from the public view for years. Of course, amassing her immense fortune.

This is due to the fact that she and her spouse hold a minority stake in the Milwaukee Beavers and are partial owners of the NBA franchise, the Atlanta Hawks.
To be honest, their investments have paid off handsomely, so grab your bag, gal! But Gertz’s detractors concluded that once she wed wealthy investor Tony Ressler, Gertz married into wealth. However, the two do not only want to make money. They are really very giving.
The Ressler-Gertz Foundation, which supports Jewish organizations, the arts, education, and health, received a record $10 million gift in 2012, making Gertz and her husband the charity’s top donors according to the Giving Back Fund.
Therefore, the pair has earned their huge fund—which they may use to enjoy life to the fullest—by making significant donations to worthy organizations both now and in the past.
Are there any other famous people that you know that give that much? I will hold off.
