Ryan Reynolds‘ road to stardom peaked with begetting the self-proclaimed “Marvel Jesus,” Deadpool, and now he is waltzing with unbridled dollar bills. Standing on business with maximum effort, the X-Men enthusiast not only became a breath of fresh air in the superhero lore but also propelled Reynolds’ already A-list status to a multi-millionaire business-savvy mastermind. His wit and entrepreneurial spirit, frequently dispensed smoothly through social media and marketing campaigns, created a brand for him that is as priceless as his movie characters. Reynolds is no longer just limiting his narrative to the screen; he is developing a dynasty one business partnership at a time.

A personification of contemporary celebrity capitalism, Ryan Reynolds is en route to the throne.

Has Ryan Reynolds become a billionaire now?

Ryan Reynolds’ unhinged humor and endearing charm, which electrify the screen, also make him an architect of his massive fortune. While Reynolds is not a billionaire yet, his approximate net worth is placed at approximately $350 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, a value underscored by his diversified business, ranging from acting to investments, and several backend profits. His wealth rests on a mix of box-office muscle, such as Deadpool & Wolverine, which grossed $1.338 billion, as well as multiple profitable mergers and ingenious deals. 

Some of his notable achievements include the sale of Aviation Gin to Diageo, valued at up to a whopping $610 million, and the T-Mobile acquisition of wireless carrier Mint Mobile, with a deal valued at up to $1.35 billion, which made him a fortune. Both deals, where Reynolds reportedly held 20% and 25% ownership of the companies, respectively, added to his net worth, with the Aviation Gin deal, in particular, being paid with $335 million cash upfront. He also purchased a Welsh soccer club called Wrexham AFC with Rob McElhenney in November 2020, further adding to his skyrocketing wealth. Reynolds, now, is at a stone’s throw away from becoming a billionaire. 

In every dollar yet unmade lies a hint of what is to be as Reynolds spreads his wings beyond Hollywood to gin, mobile, and football.

From playing a billionaire to becoming one, Ryan Reynolds climbs up the ladder

In Netflix’s Six Underground, Ryan Reynolds stepped into the shoes of a fictional billionaire. In real life, he might soon become one. His pipeline is full of high-caliber projects and endeavors like the Wrexham AFC docuseries and its spin-off. On screen, he is next starring in and producing the action movie Mayday for Apple TV+ alongside Kenneth Branagh, Marcin Dorociński, and Maria Bakalova; a sequel to the highly profitable Red Notice is also in the works. In the Marvel cosmos, Reynolds is also penning a new Deadpool–X-Men crossover, off the blockbuster hit of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Amid clever brand equity, splashy high-profile media ventures, and well-timed investments, Reynolds’ fortune may leap high enough to break through the billionaire barrier. Should Ryan Reynolds become a billionaire, he’ll be joining rarefied ranks, along with legends George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Kylie Jenner, as well as ingenious producer Tyler Perry, who began their journey from humble beginnings. With his star power increasing, Reynolds is composing his own fortune in real time.
