Jami Gertz, the iconic 80s film star, was recently spotted in West Hollywood looking almost unrecognizable nearly four decades after her breakout role. Now 59, she was seen heading to the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows, a private members club known for its celebrity clientele. Dressed casually in a powder blue shirt, white trousers, and carrying an orange satchel, her relaxed, low-key style marked a stark contrast to the glamorous on-screen persona that made her famous.

Gertz is best remembered for her role as Star in the 1987 cult classic horror film The Lost Boys. In the movie, she starred alongside Kiefer Sutherland as a half-vampire struggling to resist the lure of human blood. Her acting career also includes an appearance in the 1981 film Endless Love, notable as Tom Cruise’s film debut. On television, Gertz’s most recent regular role was as Debbie Weaver in the sci-fi sitcom The Neighbors, which ended in 2014. Her latest film, the romantic comedy I Want You Back, was released in 2022.

Beyond her acting career, Jami Gertz has gained immense wealth, primarily through her marriage to businessman Tony Ressler. They married in 1989, and Ressler is a major figure in private equity, co-founding Apollo Global Management and Ares Management. Forbes estimates his net worth at an impressive $14.2 billion, making the couple one of the wealthiest pairs in the world.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Gertz herself is worth around $12 billion. The couple’s business ventures include owning the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, which they purchased in 2015 alongside former NBA star Grant Hill. Ressler also once vied to buy Chelsea Football Club, further underscoring their significant influence in both the financial and sports sectors.

While Jami Gertz’s appearance today may be quite different from her youthful film roles, her legacy as a beloved star of classic 80s films remains intact. Her memorable performances and cultural impact endure, but it is her remarkable financial success alongside her husband that has propelled her into the ranks of the world’s wealthiest actresses and prominent business figures.
