Ryan Reynolds might not have experienced the meteoric rise to success and fame. However, with his sheer talent and impeccable acting chops, he gradually took a forever place in fans’ hearts. From landing minor roles in teen soap operas like Hillside to taking over the attention of the world with the Deadpool character, he came a long way. While building his resume in the industry, he also ventured into the business world and proved he has brilliant talent as an investor, too.

Now his billion-dollar deal and investments, like Wrexham, speaks loudly as to how the actor is all set to build an impressive entrepreneurial empire.

Over the years, Ryan Reynolds has remained involved in various business ventures which boosted his bank balance. In fact, this year in July he signed his first billion-dollar deal of $1.35 billion when wireless firm Mint Mobile was sold to T-Mobile. The 46-year-old would make much money from the deal, but the exact amount remains unclear as Investopedia reported.

Before this deal, his net worth was already over $150 million, which he racked up from his big movie projects. This journey started when the Free Guy star bought some stake in the American brand Aviation Gin. The company was sold two years later to Diageo for $610 million. One year after that profitable deal, the actor joined hands with Mint Mobile. The same year he invested $750 million in Canadian FinTech Wealthsimple and even joined a group of investors supporting Alpine.
