Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds’ net worth has skyrocketed in recent years thanks to a combination of movie and streaming deals, and hugely successful business ventures, including the sale of Mint Mobile which was acquired by T-Mobile for $1.3 billion.
Reynold’s has certainly come a long way from his first role on the teen soap Fifteen where he earned $150 per episode. According to CBS News, he currently earns an average flat rate fee of $20 million per film. However, Ryan’s recent deals have included everything from backend points (money earned from the films box office total), to exclusive Netflix deals that have earned beyond his typical $20 million guarantee.
Biggest Movie Pay Milestones
It’s not a secret that Ryan Reynold”s fought hard to bring Deadpool to the masses and his years of hard work and dedication pay off. In order to complete the film Reynold’s agreed to a rather tiny $2 million upfront payday along with backend points. The film ended up bringing in $782 million against a $58 million budget. The movie became the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time upon its release and secured Reynolds a payday estimated to be worth $22 million.
Here are a few more of Reynolds’ movie pay milestones:

Business Ventures
As previously mentioned, Reynolds has earned a large portion of his net worth because of savvy business investments that have brought in hundreds of millions for the actor.
Ryan’s first huge business success came in 2020 when he sold Aviation American Gin for $610 million. Ryan was significant stakeholder in the company and Yahoo Finance estimates he earned $122 million for his portion of the business.
Ryan would parlay his early business success into a 25% stake in a then largely unknown mobile carrier called Mint Mobile. Much like his time with Aviation American Gin, Reynolds and his team worked diligently to market the company through hilarious commercials that regularly went viral. In 2023, it was announced that Mint Mobile was purchased by T-Mobile for $1.35 billion. According to Fortune, Reynolds earned an estimated $300 million from the sale of Mint Mobile.
In between the Aviation American Gin and Mint Mobile deals, Ryan Reynolds and his buddy Rob McElhenney acquired the rights to the Wrexham football club. The pair of movie and TV stars agreed to take over the team at no cost with the understanding that they would put $2.5 million into repairs for the club’s venue, the Racecourse (the oldest professional soccer pitch in the world). The pair took over the team and have been documenting their efforts in a Hulu docu-series called Welcome to Wrexham. Since taking over the club the pair and their team have secured lucrative deals with TikTok and Expedia and have grown attendance at a record rate. It’s estimated that the football club’s value has increased by upwards of 300% according to investment firm Saxo.
As if running his own businesses isn’t enough, Reynolds in 2020 also joined the board of directors for Match Group, the company behind dating brands that include Match, Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge.

When you’re a value-added investor you can buy into businesses and use your own significant name and marketing genius to take brands to a whole new level. That’s exactly what Reynolds has been doing and he’s doing it better than anyone else at this point in time.
Here’s the full list of past, current, and future businesses that have helped and will help his net worth grow.

As you likely noticed, many of the business ventures Ryan Reynolds’ net worth is tied to are still part of his portfolio. There is also very little public information about the deals he made with many of the companies on our list.
What we do know is that Wrexham has increased in value by 300% and at least two of the companies in his holdingss, Wealthsimple and Nuvei, are both valued in the billions of dollars. Given Reynold’s late entry into those companies and involvement from other celebrities, we assume his portion of those companies is smaller than his previous holdings in American Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile.
Further, Reynolds may have sold Maximum Effort, but he has remained with the company following the sale, serving as the Chief Creative Officer for the successful marketing agency.
Potential Business Ventures
Ryan Reynold’s net worth in 2023 is likely even higher than our estimate because of business ventures that have yet to pay out. And it looks as though the A-list actor is attempting to add increasingly large deals to his business roster. Reynolds is currently attempting to become a business partner in two huge sports-based ventures.
F1 Team Alpine
In June 2023, Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and a group of investors bid for a 24% state in Formula One racing team, Alpine. The group offered to pay $218 million to acquire a 24% stake in the company. Otro Capital, RedBird Capital Partners, and Reynold’s Maximum Effort all went in on the deal in the hopes of owning part of a popular Formula One team.
Ottawa Senators Bid
Reynolds is also attempting to acquire another sports team. In March 2023, Reynold partnered with the Remington Group to bid for the Ottawa Senators, the Canadian NHL team that was recently valued at $800 million. Reynolds and his partners could potentially spend $1 billion which would allow for team ownership and ownership of the Canadian Tire Stadium.
Team ownership has been a smart move in recent years as professional sports teams have watched their value hit new highs. While those deals are not yet completed, they could drastically increase Ryan Reynolds’ net worth in the future.
