Ryan Reynolds’s Career
Ryan Reynolds began his acting career in Canada, where he appeared in TV shows like “Hillside” and “The Odyssey.” He later made the move to Hollywood, where he secured roles in comedies such as “Van Wilder,” “Just Friends,” and “The Proposal.” He also ventured into action and drama genres, starring in films like “Blade: Trinity,” “Buried,” and “Safe House.”
However, his breakthrough came in 2016 when he portrayed Deadpool, a Marvel character he had been passionate about for years. “Deadpool” was a massive success, grossing over $783 million worldwide on a $58 million budget. It garnered critical acclaim and numerous award nominations. Reynolds reprised his role in “Deadpool 2” (2018), which was even more successful, earning over $785 million worldwide on a $110 million budget.
Reynolds commands an impressive fee of approximately $27 million per film, which means he earned at least $54 million from the Deadpool franchise alone. He has also starred in other blockbuster films like “Detective Pikachu” (2019), “6 Underground” (2019), “Free Guy” (2021), “Red Notice” (2021), and “The Adam Project” (2022). Several exciting projects are in his pipeline, including “Deadpool 3” (TBA) and “Clue” (TBA).
In addition to his acting career, Reynolds is a successful entrepreneur with investments that have significantly boosted his net worth. In 2018, he acquired a minority stake in Aviation Gin, an American craft gin brand established in 2006. Serving as the company’s face, he employed humor and creativity to market it across social media and various platforms.
In 2020, Diageo, a British multinational beverage company known for brands like Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, and Guinness, acquired Aviation Gin. The deal was valued at up to $610 million, contingent on sales performance over the next decade. Reynolds maintained an ongoing ownership interest in Aviation Gin following the sale.
Reynolds also invested in Mint Mobile, a low-cost wireless service provider launched in 2016, in 2019. Notably, he took on the role of creative director and used his wit and charm to promote Mint Mobile on social media and other channels.
In a significant development in March 2023, T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile for an impressive $1.35 billion, substantially bolstering Reynolds’ financial assets.
Additionally, in June 2023, Reynolds, along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney, became part of a group of investors backing the Formula One racing team Alpine in a deal worth $218 million. They are also co-owners of the Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC, which they purchased in November 2020. Furthermore, Reynolds participated in a bid to acquire the Ottawa Senators, the Canadian NHL team valued at $800 million by Forbes, in April 2023.
