When discussing the wealthiest actresses in Hollywood, names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, and Tom Cruise often come to mind. However, there's one actress who surpasses them all with a net worth of billions, and you may not even recognize her name.
Jami Gertz burst onto the scene in 1981 and has since landed roles in popular films and TV shows such as The Lost Boys, ER, and Entourage. She's also made cameos in hit series like Seinfeld, Modern Family, This Is Us, and Family Ties. Her most notable role may be in the 1996 blockbuster Twister, where she starred alongside Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The first trailer for the highly anticipated remake was just released yesterday.
While it's estimated that Jami has a net worth of around $3 billion, her wealth doesn't solely come from her acting career. In 1989, she married businessman Tony Ressler, and together they have four children. Tony, who is 64 years old, made his fortune co-founding private equity firm Apollo Global with his brother-in-law. He went on to co-found Ares Management and is currently worth $11 billion, according to Forbes.
Aside from their successful business ventures, the couple also owns part of the NBA team Atlanta Hawks and holds a minority share in the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. In 2020, they announced a $5 million gift to the Herman J. Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship through the Ressler Gertz Family Foundation, with the intention of supporting Black-owned businesses in Atlanta.
Jami is not only known for her impressive acting career and her marriage to Tony Ressler. She also serves as a board member for the Melanoma Research Alliance, the world's largest nonprofit funder of research into skin cancer. Her philanthropic efforts and involvement in various causes highlight her commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
The recent release of the trailer for the Twister remake has brought Jami back into the spotlight. The new film, titled Twisters, is set to hit theaters in July and is described as a modern-day continuation of the 1996 hit. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the star-studded cast includes Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser who is drawn back to the dangerous world of tornadoes by her friend Javi. She crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a social media influencer who is always seeking the next adrenaline rush. As they track the most intense storms yet, they find themselves in a life-or-death battle against Mother Nature.
Fans of the original Twister are eagerly anticipating the release of Twisters, and it's sure to be a thrilling and heart-stopping film. Keep an eye out for it in theaters on July 19th.
