What is Jami Gertz’s net worth?

CelebrityNetWorth lists $12 billion, a figure that reflects combined household wealth rather than her acting income.

She is the wealthiest name on the actors list for that reason, well ahead of performers who earned far more from their own work.

Sources of wealth

Tony Ressler co-founded Ares Management, an alternative asset manager with hundreds of billions under management, and Apollo Global earlier in his career.

The family also owns the Atlanta Hawks and holds property and private investments through family offices.

How the fortune was built

Gertz appeared in The Lost Boys, Less Than Zero and Twister, and later in television series including Still Standing and The Neighbors.

Her husband built the asset management business from the 1990s onward. The couple are active philanthropists in Los Angeles and Atlanta.

How we estimate it

We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Because the figure is a household estimate, the split between the two spouses is not public.
