Ryan Reynolds' stunning net worth emerges as he makes big announcement
by Liam Randall · Manchester Evening NewsRyan Reynolds, the Hollywood A-lister and co-owner of Wrexham AFC, has recently acquired a majority stake in the Wrexham Lager brewery.
This move is one of many astute business decisions made by Reynolds, who has expanded his empire beyond his successful acting career. The historic brewery, like the football club, is already reaping the benefits of this partnership, with plans to relocate to a larger city centre location to cater to international beer demand.
Reynolds' net worth is estimated at around $350 million (£281 million), with his various ventures significantly contributing to this figure. Best known for his role in the Deadpool series, Reynolds reportedly earns nearly £15.4m per film.
His business interests include a stake in Aviation Gin, which was sold to Diageo in 2020 for up to £460m, earning him an estimated £96m. He also previously held a 25% stake in Mint Mobile, which T-Mobile bought in 2023 for over £1bn, yielding him around £250m in cash and stock.
Reynolds co-founded Maximum Effort, a company involved in the production and advertising of several of his projects, including Deadpool and the Welcome to Wrexham docuseries. In February 2021, Reynolds and Always Sunny in Philadelphia star McElhenney jointly purchased Wrexham for a nominal fee, immediately investing £2m into the club, reports Wales Online.
Despite reporting losses under their ownership and currently owing the pair around £9m in loans, the North Wales team has seen significant success on the pitch, achieving back-to-back promotions to League One under manager Phil Parkinson. The TV series documenting their takeover has garnered global attention, attracting lucrative sponsorships from United Airlines and Metaquest.
The club's turnover increased to £10.478m in the year ending June 30, 2023. . Reynolds also holds stakes in password management company 1Password, financial management firm WealthSimple, and Canadian fintech outfit Nuvei Corporation.
In June 2023, he expanded his sporting interests by joining an investment group that bought a 24% share of the Alpine Formula 1 team. Together with his wife Blake Lively, Reynolds owns several properties, including a £4.3m family home in the Pound Ridge area of New York and a luxury apartment in Tribeca.
His astute business moves have enabled him to invest in Wrexham Lager and the city's football club. Both are benefiting from the global exposure he brings.
