Ryan Reynolds is not only a Hollywood star, but also a successful entrepreneur. With investments in various businesses, Reynolds has made his mark in the industry. His most surprising acquisition came in 2020 when he became the co-owner of the Welsh soccer club, Wrexham AFC.

Ever since then, the Canadian actor has fully committed to the team and the sport. And his investment in the club has certainly done wonders for Wrexham. The club which was stuck in the fifth division for almost 15 years could potentially make it to the fourth division this year. Now Wrexham could receive a further cash boost as Reynolds prospers in the mobile service industry.

Ryan Reynolds doubled his net worth

In 2019, Reynolds purchased an ownership stake in Mint Mobile. Recently, legacy network provider T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile in a deal estimated to be worth around $1.3 billion. The Deadpool star had a 25% stake in Mint and has made around $337.5 million pre-tax and is supposed to have doubled his net worth.

Prior to the deal, he was sitting at a net worth of $150 million. However, now after the acquisition, his net worth is estimated to be more than $300 million. With this extra cash, Reynolds could choose to reinvest in Wrexham.
