    Jami Gertz, was a kid from Chicago before making her acting debut in 1981 with the film On the Right Track. Over the years, she’s been a part of several pretty iconic movies and TV shows that have not only made her recognizable, but also added to her net worth, even if you didn’t remember her name. During the 1980s, she had classic teenager roles on the tv series Square Pegs and the movies Endless Love, Less than Zero, Sixteen Candles and then finally The Lost Boys. Then in the 1990s, she showed up on Seinfeld in the season 5 episode "The Stall" [insert clip]. She played one of Jerry's many girlfriends who just so happens to be a phone sex operator and she just can't "spare a square" of toilet paper for Elaine in the restroom. Then unfortunately, she passed on the role of Rachel on Friends, but ended up landing a key role in the 1996 summer blockbuster Twister, where she played the third wheel to Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton’s characters, and spouted this famous line from the film [insert clip]. She followed that up with a recurring role on ER in 1997 and later her very own sitcom called “Still Standing” which aired from 2002 through 2006. So, you’ve seen her on both the big and small screen, and maybe you’ve even caught a glimpse of her courtside at an NBA game. But did you know that Jami Gertz just happens to be the richest actor on the planet today?

    Always my number one since Solarbabies. Also, there was always a special thrill in throwing her name out there when people asked, "Who is the most beautiful celebrity?" It was like having special arcane knowledge because not many people asking that question would have recognized her name but I knew I was absolutely correct. Probably would have favored her sooner but I was only six in 1981 and preferred toy dinosaurs then.

    I’ve always liked her in sitcoms, but had no idea of her wealth. I always thought Julia Louis-Dreyfus or Salma Hayek were considered the wealthiest actors due to their connections to family money or husband’s money. The fact that she had more money at the beginning of their relationship and now together they have grown to be billionaires is amazing! Kudos to Jami, and thanks for all the times you made us laugh!

    Talk about an amazing story out of all the horrible stories we have seen from so many other actors. The two of them together look perfect, and I dont normally say that about many married couples in hollywood, well maybe like Matt Damon LOl.. Oh and she looks fantastic at 58. Thankfully she didnt get caught up doing all the plastic surgery to her body and face and destroying the natural beauty she has always had.

    I remember her when she was a kid in those teenage roles. Lost Boys fantastic movie. I always thought she was cute. Square Pegs quirky show but I watched because of her. Never would I have guessed her net worth. Probably I would say 5 million since she had all these support roles. Always enjoyed her as an actor in whatever role she played. 8 billion? Owns the Hawks? Charitable? My Compliments! Most surprising video I've seen in years.

    a lot of people dont realize that acting or singing in the entertainment field is not how you get rich.it's how you utilize that income that makes you wealthy. that being said net worth is different than cash on hand. because things can change in a matter of a few days. one can go from millions to trillions and billions down to millions depending on how that investment performs. One of the things i learned working for Elon is how creative you are at manipulating situations to your financial advantage by saying or tweeting a few words at a given moment can make the difference between millions and trillions on the networth of a company or individual

    See, I always thought her name was Jamie, and thought I'd seen it spelled that way, but because I'm not a narcissistic blank, I realize that I was mistaken rather than believing I am from a different universe where it "just so happens" that one of the few differences is Jami Gertz's name having the more common spelling.

      Sounds like you’re just stupid and whiny about other people believing what they want. You’re just too dumb to know how it’s spelled…you, not everyone else. Mandela Effect involves millions of people, in this scenario, everyone just thinks you don’t pay attention much. The way you justified your mistake by trying to trash others, you’re just a spiteful POS. And a crybaby.
      No Mandela here, just some idiot who cant spell a woman’s name.
