He landed the role of Marco in the Canadian television show, The Odyssey in 1992. In 1993, he appeared in the film, Ordinary Magic. 1994 saw Reynolds graduating high school.

Ryan Reynolds Net Worth

Ryan Reynolds net worth of $150 million did not happen overnight. He took his acting ability, charm, and good looks to Hollywood, where he hoped to make a go as an actor.

Ryan’s first big post Canadian gig was a guest spot on the X-Files in 1996. Later that year, he co-starred with Melissa Joan Hart in a television movie called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Though the roles were not stellar, they caught the eye of casting directors for a new sitcom.

So, in 1998, Reynolds landed a co-starring role Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place. The series ran for 4 seasons and made Ryan a pretty well known name and a few pretty pennies. After the show was canceled, movie offers started rolling in. Reynolds took parts in movies like:

Van Wilder (2002)
The In Laws (2003)
Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

A Versatile Actor

Reynolds proved himself to be a versatile actor throughout these films. Tackling comedy, romance, action, horror, and drama. He had become a bonafide star, as well as a millionaire. But things were about to get even better for Mr. Reynolds.

In 2916, Ryan was cast as the lead in the superhero film Deadpool. His salary for the film was $2 million, but he had “backend points” as part of his contract. This means he took a smaller salary upfront in exchange for a share of the movie’s profits.

Deadpool was a hit and grossed over $780 million at the box office. So, in the end, Reynolds made about $22 million from the project. After that, he became one of a select number of actors who could require a $20 million base salary per film. For example, he was paid $27 million for his role in 6 Underground.

When Deadpool 2 was in development, Ryan was made a producer and walked away with somewhere between $30 to $40 million.

The actor has also proven that he’s not just a pretty face. He’s lent his voice to several animated projects as well. His most famous being, the voice of Pikachu in Pokémon: Detective Pikachu in 2019.

Most recently, Apple TV is said to have paid Ryan $30 million to star in the musical Spirited, a remake of the classic film, A Christmas Carol. Reynolds plays the Scrooge character, while Wil Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Present.

Ryan Reynolds Business Ventures

Acting is not the only realm in which Reynolds makes his dough. In 2018, he purchased minority ownership in Aviation Gin. He’s also the spokesman for the alcohol company. Thanks to his witty commercials, the gin brand grew in popularity. Between 2018-2020, Aviation became the 2nd largest selling premium gin in the United States. It’s estimated he has made $67 million from this venture.

In 2019, Reynolds bought an ownership stake in Mint Mobile. This is a cell phone company that provides low-cost services to people on a budget. He is also the spokesman for this company.

Even though he’s happily married, Ryan serves on the board of directors of the Match Group. This is the corporation that controls dating websites like Match.com, Tinder, Hinge, and OK Cupid.

No mega star is complete with a sports team. Thats right, in 2021 the actor bought a Welsh soccer team. It’s estimated the team brings in about $4.5 million a year in revenue. So, while he probably won’t make much from the actual ticket sales, the 8 part Netflix special he’s made about the team will probably make him a pretty penny.

Endorsements

In addition to doing print ads and commercials for his own brands, Reynolds has been the face for others as well, including:

Armani
Chanel
Stella McCartney
Piaget watches
Hyundai
Nissan
Hugo Boss
