At 46, Ryan Reynolds is now much more than a movie star. On top of starring roles like the upcoming “Deadpool 3,” which sees the Merc With The Mouth join the MCU, he’s also a businessman. If selling his ownership stake of Aviaton Gin for over $600 million wasn’t enough, he also has the same in Mint Mobile. And let’s not forget he bought Wrexham A.F.C. with “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney in 2021, which serves as the starting point of the FX series “Welcome To Wrexham.”
