As reported by Wealthy Gorilla, Jami Gertz is an American actress and investor, known for her early roles in films such as Twister, Crossroads, Less Than Zero, The Lost Boys, and Quicksilver.

Although she’s not achieved the levels of success many of the other actors on this list have; Gertz is a part-owner of the NBA team, Atlanta Hawks, with her husband Tony Ressler. Which is the reason for her net worth being so high.

Shah Rukh Khan ($600 Million)

Shah Rukh Khan is an Indian actor from New Delhi. He is mostly known as “The King of Bollywood”. With his 80 Hindi movies, he has received plenty of awards for his performances.

Today, Shah Rukh Kahn is the 2nd richest actor in the world, with Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth estimated at $600 million dollars in 2021, Wealthy Gorilla said.

Tom Cruise ($570million)

Tom Cruise is one of the highest grossing box office stars of all time, so it's no surprise he is also one of the wealthiest, according to News Week.

Not only has he starred in blockbusters like the Mission: Impossible franchise, he has also produced some of his biggest credits through Cruise/Wagner Productions and United Artists.

Cruise continues to be among the most bankable actors in Hollywood, and will next be seen in the Top Gun sequel Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7.

George Clooney ($500million)

Clooney has transferred from TV heartThrob on E.R. to Oscar-winning actor for Syriana to Oscar-winning producer for Argo.

However, the bulk of his $500m fortune is not related to acting, but to his tequila brand, which he co-founded with Rande Gerber and Michael Meldman in 2013.

Four years later, they sold the tequila to Diageo for $700million.

Robert De Niro ($500million)

With a career spanning over 40 years, De Niro is one of Hollywood's most respected actors thanks to movies including Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Heat.

While his bumper paychecks have added up, De Niro's net worth can also be attributed to his production company TriBeCa Productions and the Nobu restaurant chain, which he co-owns.
