The Life Jami Gertz, ’80s Actress Turned Billionaire

Jami Gertz’s life has never followed one simple Hollywood path. She began as a Chicago-area teenager with dreams of figure skating, then became a familiar face in 1980s film and television through Square Pegs, The Lost Boys, Less Than Zero, and Seinfeld. But her story did not end with acting. Over time, she built a quieter second life around family, philanthropy, producing, and sports ownership, turning early fame into something far more unexpected.
