Everything Ryan Reynolds touches turns to gold. The Wrexham owner recently received over $300 million when T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile. Owning a minority stake in the company, the deal would probably be $1.35 billion. After getting an influx of cash, Wrexham fans would probably hope he could invest some in the club.
But the company had to fight off potential suitors, as mentioned by Reynolds. Explaining the finer details, the actor put some comic relief to the sale. And that involves his mother, Tammy Reynolds, who aimed to take over the deal.

Many people know Reynolds as a fun-loving person, and he jokingly explained how his mother tried to come up with a last-minute bid to hijack the deal.

Ryan Reynolds hilariously details his mother’s attempt to buy Mint Mobile
The Deadpool actor described his mother’s potential buying of the deal. In an interview, he jokingly explained his mother’s intervention, “We are so happy T-Mobile beat out an aggressive last-minute bid from my mom Tammy Reynolds as we believe the excellence of their 5G network will provide a better strategic fit than my mom’s slightly above-average mahjong skills. I am so proud of the entire Mint team and so excited for what’s to come.”
And of course, it is a joke. But for Reynolds, this deal boosted his net worth. He acquired minor stakes in potentially laden companies, and when the company sold itself, he would receive a handsome amount for the investment. After this deal, his net worth is set to be $300 million.
