Here is how Ryan Reynolds earned over $300 million

In 2019, the Deadpool actor acquired a 25% ownership stake in Mint Mobile. Along with being a stakeholder at the company, Reynolds also took on a creative role. Crediting their recent successes, T-Mobile recently acquired Mint Mobile for $1.35 billion. Due to his significant ownership stake, Ryan made a good chunk of money that added up to more than $300 million.

At first, fans were extremely excited about the cash influx, as they believed that the money from the acquisition would allow Reynolds to spend some more money at Wrexham AFC. Without a doubt, he did the exact same thing! Apart from that, the fans were also surprised that this acquisition had connected Ryan Reynolds with a major European soccer club.

And now that the Wrexham co-owner has a whopping amount by his side, he brought fresh talent to his team. It’s safe to say that the fans were in utter disbelief.

Just hours ago, Wrexham AFC confirmed the signing of Billy Waters from Barrow AFC. Barrow currently plays their soccer in League Two, a league above the Vanarama National League. The Welsh soccer club has surprisingly managed to secure the services of the Barrow AFC star for an undisclosed fee. Water currently has nine goals in 32 league games for Barrow AFC this season.

Let’s have a look at how the fans reacted to the news:

Without a doubt, no Wrexham AFC fan expected this. Many fans often complained that the team has become too over-reliant on Paul Mullin to score goals. Nonetheless, Reynolds heard the fans’ cries and immediately provided the squad with some offensive cover. Many others believe that this signing will successfully lead Wrexham AFC to the title this season.
