With Rs 66,000 crore net worth, she is the world’s richest actress in the world. Actors like Priyanka, Aishwarya, Shah Rukh, Tom Cruise, can’t come close to her fortune
Tyler Perry, a playwright turned actor, is the richest man globally. He built his money by starting his studio and developing one successful franchise, Madea. As a result, he now has a $1.4 billion wealth. However, consider someone who is significantly richer, more than five times as rich. Now what if we tell you that the richest actress in the world hasn’t appeared on screen in over 10 years and has not starred in a single hit? Despite all of this, she is wealthy enough to surpass the combined worth of Tom Cruise (Rs 5000 crore) and Shah Rukh Khan (Rs 7300 crore), two of the biggest actors in the world.
Who is the richest actress in whole wide world?
Jami Gertz, who was born in Chicago in 1965, started her acting career after being found during a talent hunt in the 1980s. She made her film debut in 1981 with ‘Endless Love.’ She became well-known in 1987 when she starred with Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Less than Zero.’ Her most notable performance came in the vampire drama ‘The Lost Boys‘ that same year.
Gertz’s most well-known role to date is that of Judy Miller from the 2002 television series Still Standing. Later on, she was praised by critics for her guest appearance on Ally McBeal, for which she was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
Bollywood’s Richest Actors vs. Jami Gertz
Bollywood has its own list of rich actors. Shah Rukh Khan is the wealthiest, with a net worth of Rs 6,300 crore. He’s followed by Salman Khan (Rs 2,900 crore), Akshay Kumar (Rs 2,500 crore), and Aamir Khan (Rs 1,862 crore). These are huge numbers, but even the combined wealth of Bollywood’s top 10 actors is still less than half of Jami Gertz’s fortune!
Hollywood vs. Bollywood: The Wealth Race
Even in Hollywood, the richest stars like Tom Cruise (620 million USD) and Dwayne Johnson (800 million USD) can’t come close to Jami Gertz’s 8 billion USD net worth. What makes her wealth so interesting is that it didn’t come from being a huge movie star, but from smart investments in businesses and sports.
