Yahoo Lifestyle A deep dive into Ryan Reynolds' net worth for you to enjoy
Ryan Reynolds has transitioned from a regular rich celebrity into a person who's wealthy enough to buy an entire soccer team and cosplay as Ted Lasso, so the time has obviously come to dig into this man's finances. The results of our investigation? He has more money than I, for one, am emotionally prepared to count up to. But nevertheless, we persisted. So behold: a breakdown of how Ryan Reynolds made so much money and what he's spending it on.
Ryan Reynolds' per-movie rate honestly explains a lot
He's been acting forever (Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place, anyone?) but everything changed for Ryan after the monumental success of Deadpool. Since then, Celebrity Net Worth reports that our dude has been getting at least $20 million per movie *and* that he had a particularly major payday for 6 Underground — a Michael Bay film I didn't realise existed — which apparently made Ryan $27 million richer.
But that's not even his personal best. Forbes reports that Apple TV+ paid more than $30 million (!!) for Ryan to star in their A Christmas Carol retelling, Spirited — though, to be fair, Variety then claimed the amount was actually $20 million. Whatever, though. Either way, this man made $20-30 million more than the rest of us.
He earned $71.5 million in 2020 alone
According to Forbes, $48.5 million of that total came from Netflix's 6 Underground and Red Notice, the latter of which was frankly worth every penny.
He made a fortune for Deadpool
Awkward times for Green Lantern and his flop era, but Ryan made wayyyyy more money playing Deadpool. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he was paid "just" $2 million upfront for the movie but had a big share of backend points and took home $22 million as a result. And then, of course, Ryan earned even more for Deadpool 2, by which I mean a rumoured $20 to $40 million. Life is....not fair.
As for the franchise's third instalment, Deadpool & Wolverine, which debuted on 26th July, 2024? Welp, it's been estimated that the actor's salary for the project hovers at around $20 million buckaroonies. 😬 However, he will likely definitely make more given how wildly successful the film already is just a few weeks after its release.
He and Blake Lively own a sprawling estate
Unlike most other celebs who live in LA, Blake and Ryan have settled down in upstate New York, where they live in a giant $6 million estate. Here's a peek at the inside:
His investments are major
Let's see! First, we have Aviation Gin, which Ryan owns a stake in. It's unclear how big this stake is, but the company was sold back in 2020 for $610 million and Ryan got a big slice of that pie. He also co-founded Maximum Effort Productions and Maximum Effort Marketing, which was responsible for that viral post-Mr. Big's death Pelaton ad.
On top of all that, he has a stake in Mint Mobile, and let's not forget about his football team, Wrexham football club, which cost him and fellow actor Rob McElhenney £2 million, according to BBC. And speaking of sports, apparently Ryan's also interested in buying the Ottawa Senators. One can never own enough teams, I guess!
So, what is Ryan Reynolds' net worth in total?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, that would be $350 million (which is around £271 million), which is a whopping $200 million MORE than the amount we last reported back in 2022. Clearly, all the $$$ comes from a combination of huge per-movie earnings and smart investments in an array of diverse industries — from spirits to marketing and soccer. Must be nice when everything you touch turns to gold!
