There is one actor who is the richest of them all and you\u2019ve probably never heard of her.<\/p>\n

When we think of rich actors, we usually go for the ones who have made their mark on the\u00a0entertainment<\/a>\u00a0industry.<\/p>\n

This could be Tom Cruise, or\u00a0Brad Pitt<\/a>, or even George Clooney- but they don\u2019t compare to the\u00a0wealth<\/a>\u00a0of this one person.<\/p>\n

Despite having amassed a huge net worth, this\u00a0celebrity<\/a>\u00a0has kept their time in the spotlight minimal, as they dabble in other avenues of income to build this mega-fortune.<\/p>\n

She surpasses all the ranks of riches, and despite this, you\u2019ll likely struggle to put her face to a\u00a0film<\/a>, mostly because she\u2019s never won an award for her work on the big screen.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the world’s richest actor is, in fact, actress Jami Gertz.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old first began acting in 1981 after landing a small role in the rom-com,\u00a0On the Right Track.\u00a0<\/em>After that, Gertz ended up featuring in films such as the comedy-horror\u00a0The Lost Boys,\u00a0<\/em>as well as the drama\u00a0Less Than Zero,\u00a0<\/em>and even the disaster movie\u00a0Twister<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 which inspired the Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell’s remake.<\/p>\n

With 23 feature films on her resume, you might think it surprising that she has so much money in the bank,\u00a0but it\u2019s all thanks\u00a0<\/a>to her philanthropy and her\u00a0husband<\/a>, Tony Ressler’s, business.<\/p>\n

Gertz is now worth around $8 billion, according to Celebrity Net Worth, with her income is much higher than Cruise, Pitt and even\u00a0Jennifer Aniston<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gertz’s fortune even exceeds wealthy musicians like\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/a>, who is worth $1.6 billion\u00a0thanks to her Eras Tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

She\u2019s even richer than Steven Spielberg, a huge director who is worth $5.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Gertz actually bagged her wealth after putting her career on hold and\u00a0marrying<\/a>\u00a0Ressler, who is worth $10.9 billion, as per Forbes.<\/p>\n

Thanks to his business deals, and her joining his work, the pair went on to build a massive stash of cash.<\/p>\n

Gertz and Ressler joined an investment group led by Mark Attanasio which purchased the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball, The Daily Mail\u00a0reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They also went on to be the part owners of NBA team Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n

Ressler co-founded a private equity firm before meeting his wife, called Apollo Global in 1990 along with his brother-in-law, racking in his money.<\/p>\n

But if you thought she just married rich, you\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n

She told the\u00a0Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0in 2018: “Everyone thinks I married a rich guy,’ she said. ‘But I made more money \u2014 way more money \u2014 than Tony when I met him.”<\/p>\n

“I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation,” she added. \u201cI married him because I fell in love with him.”<\/p>\n

On that note, maybe it\u2019s time to break the news that\u00a0Swift isn\u2019t the richest musician<\/a>, that title goes to Jay-Z, whose empire is worth $2 billion, almost double Swift’s net worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
