Biography
Ryan Reynolds net worth is estimated at $350 million as of 2025, with his acting career serving as a launchpad for a remarkably successful entrepreneurial empire. His portrayal of Deadpool beginning in 2016 revitalized his career and the franchise has grossed over $2 billion globally, earning him an estimated $20 million per film plus backend. The real wealth came from business ventures: he co-founded Aviation American Gin and sold it to Diageo for $610 million in 2020 (retaining equity in future earnings), acquired a 10% stake in Mint Mobile and sold it to T-Mobile for $1.35 billion in 2023, and purchased Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC (with Rob McElhenney) in 2020 for $2.5 million, which was subsequently valued at over $100 million.
