The richest billionaire actress in the world is this actress. According to Celebrity Net Worth, actress Jamie Gertz's current wealth is about $8 billion (Hanwha 11.4648 trillion won). This surpasses the wealth of Hollywood A-list stars such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Jennifer Lopez. Additionally, Gertz's wealth is greater than that of other famous artists, including Taylor Swift (with an asset worth of $1.6 billion from the success of the Eras Tour) and Steven Spielberg (with approximately $5.3 billion from blockbuster movies). According to a report by Daily Mail on the 24th (local time), Gertz has accumulated a fortune several times larger than the net worth of the wealthiest stars in Hollywood for years. It is said that she was able to amass unimaginable wealth because she married a billionaire entrepreneur with assets of $10.9 billion (Hanwha 15.6295 trillion won), who founded several private equity firms. Gertz has appeared in the movies "Twister," the CBS sitcom "Still Standing," and the ABC sci-fi show "Comedy the Neighbors." Since the 2022 romantic comedy "I Want You Back," she has not had any projects. Instead of acting, she has increasingly been following her husband into business ventures. The wrestler moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s to support his wife's acting career but co-founded the private equity firm Apollo Global in 1990 and founded Ares Management in 1997, quickly surpassing his wife's income.
Gertz decided to establish her own production company, Lime Orchard Productions, in 2010, creating a new source of income as her acting roles began to dwindle. However, the "Lime Orchard" ultimately ended in failure. According to Gertz, she poured millions of dollars into the failed production company. The billionaire wrestler had a desire to own a sports team, and Gertz committed everything to that pursuit. They joined an investment group that acquired the Milwaukee Brewers and became more actively involved in acquiring the Atlanta Hawks in 2015. Gertz's vast wealth appears to have come from her ownership equity in the teams, and she has nearly ceased acting since she became the official face of the ownership team.
Her next move was to build relationships with wealthy industry figures in Hollywood, including Disney CEO Bob Iger. Around this time, the wrestler began to feel a burning desire to manage his sports team directly, and the two joined Mark Attanasio's investment group to acquire the baseball team Milwaukee Brewers. After becoming the owner of the Hawks, Gertz and the wrestler constructed an 8,800-square-meter training facility and sports medicine center for the team at Emory University. The couple has now risen to the ranks of the ultra-wealthy and is also active as major philanthropists.
Everyone thinks Gertz married well (which is true), but early in their marriage, Gertz earned more. She focused on making famous business transactions with her husband, Tony Ressler, leaving her thriving acting career behind. This has led to the explanation that her husband has been earning more money over time than when he first met her in the 1980s.
Gertz revealed to Hollywood Reporter in 2018 that her rise to the ultra-wealthy class was not as simple as just marrying a wealthy person. She said, "Everyone thinks I married rich. But at the time, I was earning more. I paid for our first house and our first vacation. I fell in love with him and married him." Gertz met Ressler, who was working at investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert, thanks to a public relations officer. At that time, Gertz was performing in a small play, and Ressler knew almost nothing about her aside from her being a 'working actress' and was unaware of the movies and TV shows she had appeared in up to that point. However, the two fell in love and quickly became a couple, and Gertz joked that her family had wished she had married a doctor or lawyer instead.
