What is Ryan Reynolds’ Net Worth and Salary?

The Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds boasts a net worth of $350 million. As outlined in this introductory segment, along with additional sections later in the article, most of this wealth stems from his business ventures, particularly through the sales of Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile.

Starting his acting career in the 1990s on soap operas, Reynolds quickly gained recognition for his charm and sense of humor. Over the years, he has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors, with numerous box office successes and critical acclaim. Notable films in Reynolds’ career include “Deadpool” (2016), which made over $780 million globally, and its sequel “Deadpool 2” (2018), exceeding $785 million in earnings. Additionally, he appeared in hit films such as “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” (2002), “The Proposal” (2009), “Safe House” (2012), and “6 Underground” (2019), among others.

Beyond acting, Reynolds has thrived as an entrepreneur, investing in various businesses. His acquisition of Aviation American Gin in 2018 played a significant role, transforming it into a successful brand. In August 2020, Reynolds sold Aviation Gin to Diageo in a transaction that could ultimately amount to $610 million, with an initial payment of $335 million in cash. As elaborated upon later in this article, it is estimated that Ryan held a 20% ownership stake in the brand.

In December 2019, Reynolds acquired a minority interest in Mint Mobile, a wireless carrier. By March 2023, T-Mobile announced its acquisition of Mint for $1.35 billion. More details about this acquisition will follow later, but it was believed that Ryan owned 25% of Mint Mobile.

Married to actress Blake Lively since 2012, Reynolds is well-known for his humor on social media, frequently sharing humorous and self-deprecating content with his vast follower base.

Early Life

Born on October 23, 1976, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Ryan Rodney Reynolds is the youngest of four sons to James Chester Reynolds, a food wholesaler, and Tamara Lee (née Stewart), a retail saleswoman. Raised in a Catholic household, Reynolds spent his childhood in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood. He completed his high school education at Kitsilano Secondary School in 1994 and briefly attended Kwantlen Polytechnic University, though he dropped out.

Career

Reynolds’ journey in the entertainment industry began in 1991 while he was still a student in high school. He landed the leading role of Billy Simpson in the Canadian teen soap opera “Hillside,” which was later aired in the US by Nickelodeon under the title “Fifteen.” After its conclusion in 1993, he secured a recurring role as Macro in “The Odyssey.” Early in his career, Reynolds also made a guest appearance on “The X-Files” (1996), played Bobby Rupp in the two-part miniseries “In Cold Blood” (1996), and co-starred with Melissa Joan Hart in the TV film “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” (1996). He later starred as Michael “Berg” Bergen in the series “Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place,” which aired for four seasons starting in 1998.

Subsequently, he starred in films including “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” (2002), “Blade: Trinity” (2004), “The Amityville Horror” (2005), “Smokin’ Aces” (2006), “The Proposal” (2009), “Buried” (2010), “Safe House” (2012), “R.I.P.D.” (2013), “The Voices” (2014), “The Captive” (2014), “Mississippi Grind” (2015), and the Netflix movie “6 Underground” (2019). Reynolds has also taken on supporting roles in films like “Just Friends” (2005), “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (2009), “Adventureland” (2009), “Women in Gold” (2015), and “Criminal” (2016).

Reynolds is one of the few actors to have starred in films featuring both Marvel and DC characters. In 2011, he portrayed Hal Jordan in “Green Lantern.” Although the film did not perform well either commercially or critically, Reynolds secured a significant success with “Deadpool” in 2016. His involvement with the Deadpool project began after playing Wade Wilson/Weapon XI in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” “Deadpool” reboots the character and aligns its storyline more closely with the original Marvel Comics, going on to shatter box-office records. With a worldwide opening of $264.9 million from 62 markets, it held the title for the biggest opening in 2016, as well as the most significant for an R-rated film and the second-largest debut for Fox. The sequel “Deadpool 2” was released in June 2017, and a third installment, “Deadpool 3,” is scheduled for release in November 2024.

Besides his film roles, Reynolds has also explored voice acting. He lent his voice to characters in two Dreamworks Animation productions, “The Croods” (2013) and “Turbo” (2013), and voiced Pikachu in “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” (2019), serving as the facial motion capture actor for the CGI rendition of Pikachu.

In recognition of his contributions to film, Reynolds received a Saturn Award for Best Actor for “Deadpool” in 2017 and a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actor. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for “Deadpool” the same year. Additionally, in 2016, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 8601 Hollywood Blvd.

Aviation Gin

In February 2018, Reynolds acquired an unspecified minority stake in Aviation American Gin for an undisclosed amount. He also holds the roles of the brand’s spokesperson and creative director. Originally established by Oregon’s House Spirits Distillery, Aviation was acquired by Davos Brands in 2016.

Aviation’s sales surged between 2018 and 2020, largely due to Reynolds’ witty advertisements, including a memorable video featuring the “Peloton girl,” allowing it to become the second-largest super-premium gin brand in the U.S.

The acquisition deal between Diageo LLC and Aviation Gin LLC along with Davos Brands LLC in August 2020 could grow to $610 million in total value. It included an instant cash payment of $335 million, with further earnings tied to performance milestones projected over the next ten years.

By examining similar celebrity alcohol ownership deals, it can be inferred that Ryan likely held a 20% stake in Aviation Gin. Assuming this is accurate, he would have received approximately $67 million pre-tax from the upfront cash payment and could earn an additional $55 million based on milestone achievements.

Mint Mobile

In November 2019, Reynolds acquired an ownership stake in Mint Mobile, a service provider specializing in affordable pre-paid mobile phone plans. He has appeared in various advertising campaigns for Mint Mobile as well.

In March 2023, it was announced that T-Mobile would be acquiring Mint Mobile for $1.35 billion, with the deal consisting of 39% cash ($526 million) and 61% stock ($823 million). Reports suggest that Ryan had a 25% stake in Mint, which indicates that he would receive approximately $131 million pre-tax, translating to around $70 million after taxes on the cash side. Regarding stocks, it’s presumed he received T-Mobile shares valued at $205 million. On the announcement day, this equated to 1,423,611 T-Mobile shares, based on a share price of $144 on March 15, 2023.

Personal Life and Real Estate

In 2002, Reynolds started his relationship with Canadian singer Alanis Morissette, becoming engaged in 2004. The couple parted ways in 2007, shortly before Reynolds began dating American actress Scarlett Johansson. He and Johansson tied the knot in September 2008, separated in December 2010, and finalized their divorce in July 2011. Following this, in October 2011, he began dating Blake Lively, his co-star from “Green Lantern.” They wed in September 2012 and are parents to three daughters, with Lively revealing in September 2022 that they are expecting a fourth child. Ryan became a U.S. citizen around 2018.

In 2012, the couple purchased a property in Westchester County, New York, for $6 million, covering 11.65 acres with the main house nearly 9,000 square feet in size. Additionally, Reynolds holds a residence in Los Angeles and reportedly acquired a $1.9 million home in the Welsh village of Marford in 2023.

Over the years, Reynolds has lent support to various causes. In May 2022, he participated with other celebrities in reading “James and the Giant Peach,” aiding the global charity Partners In Health, co-founded by Roald Dahl’s daughter, Ophelia. In 2022, he and Lively committed to matching donations up to $1 million for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. In March 2022, they contributed $500,000 to Water First for clean drinking water for Indigenous communities in Canada. In January 2023, Reynolds was honored with the Humanitarian Award at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.

How Much Did Ryan Reynolds Make for Deadpool?

Reynolds received a base salary of $2 million for his role in Deadpool, which significantly increased due to a lucrative share of the backend points. The movie had a production cost of just $58 million and went on to gross $780 million. In 2017, he earned approximately $22 million, landing him among the 20 highest-paid actors that year. Although earnings for Deadpool 2 haven’t been officially disclosed, estimates suggest he made at least $20 million for that film. Including backend points, his total earnings from the sequel, which grossed $785 million worldwide, could exceed $30-40 million.

Salary Per Movie

Following the success of the Deadpool series, Reynolds joined the ranks of actors capable of securing $20 million upfront per film. For the Michael Bay production “6 Underground,” he earned an upfront payment of $27 million.

Wrexham AFC

In November 2020, Ryan, alongside comedian Rob McElhenney, acquired the Welsh football club, Wrexham AFC. At that time, the club was in the fifth division of English soccer, which is four leagues below the Premier League. Their purchase was executed with no initial payment; however, they committed to invest approximately $2.6 million for infrastructure upgrades. By April 2023, Wrexham achieved promotion to League Two and clinched the National League championship, marking the club’s return to the English Football League after 15 years.
