The world's richest actor you've never heard of has a net worth over $3 billion (£2.45 billion).
Chicago-born Jami Gertz is a name you're probably not familiar with.
In just the fifth grade, she decided that she wanted to become an actor after starring as Dorothy in her school's production of Wizard of Oz.

After winning a talent search sponsored by American TV writer Norman Lear, Gertz made her debut in 1981, starring as the lead actor in Endless Love.
She then went on to feature in sitcoms Still Standing and The Neighbors before meeting the love of her life.
Gertz was introduced to Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler through her publicist, and before you jump to conclusions, he was only a banker when they met.
"I made more money — way more money — than Tony when I met him," the actor recalled to the Hollywood Reporter.
"I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him."
However, after getting married in 1989, Ressler started Apollo Global with his brother, which went on to become Ares Management.
For those unaware, it's one of the most successful and wealthy asset management companies in the world.
They handle assets worth around $125 billion (£98.81 million)
Ressler himself is worth a whopping $11.1 billion (£8.77 million)
He purchased the Atlanta Hawks in 2015 for $720 million (£569.15 million) and Gertz is a co-owner.
They also attempted to takeover NBA giants the LA Clippers, but lost out to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
Gertz told The Rick Risen Show a while back: "We're going into our fourth season of owning the Atlanta Hawks basketball team, my husband and myself, along with our ownership group, Grant Hill and Sarah Blakely.
"We were kind of kicking the tyres on the Clippers a while ago and that went for tonnes of dough, and Grant called us and said the Atlanta Hawks are for sale, and I said, 'Huh', never saw myself in Atlanta but that sounds like something that might be interesting.
"And it was an auction and it kind of happened within four days, and we became the new ownership of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team."
Gertz, though, has constantly had to make it clear that her wealth is not all down to her hubby.
She added: "Everyone thinks I married a rich guy," but little do they know.
The pair are also known to do a lot for charity, which is always good.
