7.BIO Ryan Rodney Reynolds was born in Vancouver,
British Columbia, on October 23, 1976.
He is the youngest of four sons born to James Chester Reynolds and Tamara Lee (née Stewart).
He was raised in the Roman Catholic Church in Vancouver's Kitsilano neighborhood and
has Irish and Scottish ancestry.
He graduated from Kitsilano Secondary School in 1994 and began actively pursuing a career
in acting.
After a while of playing small roles in a number of television series, his failure to
secure any promising role discouraged and forced him into giving up acting at age 19
to enroll at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
A few months into his tertiary education, he got convinced by Vancouver actor Chris
William Martin to rethink his future, which forced him into pausing on school and relocating
to Los Angeles.
6.ZERO-TO-HERO After moving to Los Angeles with Chris, he
managed a few supporting roles in TV series and movies.
He reportedly turned down his first big role as Xander in Buffy the Vampire Slayer because
of his awful high school experiences.
Luckily, he landed a role as Berg in Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place, which ran for 4
seasons.
He landed his first leading role in the National Lampoon movie Van Wilder, which though wasn't
a commercial hit, made him a household name.
Although he had performed primarily in comedies, Reynolds underwent intense physical training
to play an action role as the character of Hannibal King in the 2004 film Blade: Trinity.
He continued starring in comedies like Just Friends (2005), Adventureland (2009) etc.
as well as romantic comedies like Definitely, Maybe (2008) and The Proposal (2009) opposite
Sandra Bullock.
He introduced himself as a full-fledged superhero when he starred as Hal Jordan in DC's Green
Lantern (2011).
Though the movie failed to exceed expectations, it helped him find the love of his life.
He later starred in a standalone supervillain movie, Deadpool, which became a blockbuster
hit.
He received a Saturn Award for Best Actor for "Deadpool" and a People's Choice Award
for Favorite Movie Actor.
A sequel was then approved by Marvel Studios, which saw Reynolds not only as the lead actor
but also as a co-writer.
His action comedies The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2017), The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard
(2021), Red Notice (2021) and sci-fi comedy Free Guy (2021) were all critical and commercial
successes, which only justified why he is one of Hollywood's finest action-comedy heroes.
His thrillers include Buried (2010), Safe House (2012), Netflix's 6 Underground (2019),
and his most recent film, Adam Project (2022), in which he plays the role of a time traveler
who joins forces with his preteen self and late father to save the future, making peace
with his past along the way.
Now speaking of how much he makes, for his first Deadpool movie, he was paid $2 million
upfront plus backend points.
Fortunately, the movie made over $700 million in box office revenue which increased his
earnings to about $22 million for the movie.
Though his earnings for the sequel haven't been officially confirmed, it is estimated
to be a minimum of $20 million, plus backend points.
Netflix signed him an 8-figure cheque of $27 million upfront for his role as Michael Bay/One
in Underground Six and another 8-figure cheque of over $20 million for his role as Nolan
Booth in Red Notice.
With the successes he continues to enjoy in Hollywood, it's likely his earnings per movie
will double in no time.
I know most of you watching right now are thinking of becoming movie stars and getting
cut big cheques by Netflix or Marvel, right?
But guess what, it is very possible, so go for it.
5.ROMANTIC CONNECTIONS Ryan has had a series of high-profile romantic
connections over the span of his successful career.
But as far as the relationship in Hollywood goes, in terms of numbers, he has had an average
run.
He began dating Canadian singer Alanis Morissette in 2002, and they became engaged in 2004.
Three years down the line (2007), the pair announced their mutual decision to call off
their engagement, which I'm guessing is because they were tired of seeing one another's face.
Three years is quite a long time to not get married after being engaged.
That same year, however, Reynolds began dating American actress Scarlett Johansson.
News of their engagement became official in May 2008, and in September of that year, they
got married in a private ceremony near his hometown, British Columbia.
Unfortunately, the pair announced their separation just two years later, with their divorce being
finalized in July 2011.
He soon found love again with his "Green Lantern" co-star Blake Lively who he began dating in
October 2011.
They married in September 2012 and have three daughters together: James, Inez, and Betty.

Car Collection Though Ryan hasn't voiced his craze for cars,
he does have enough in his garage to start a collection and to be honest, his garage
costs a fortune.
His garage boasts of two electric cars: a Tesla Model S and a Toyota Prius, as well
as a Nissan Leaf, a battery-electric/hybrid car.
The Tesla Model S is priced at $80,000, $25,000 for the Prius and $96,000 for the Nissan.
Aside from sedan cars, Reynolds has a taste for performance motors.
Among his collection includes the Lamborghini Aventador which has a price tag of $420,000
and the Dodge Challenger priced at $30,000.
When he wants to combine performance and luxury, his Cadillac Escalade serves him quite well.
His Cadillac Escalade comes with a price of $86,000.
In all, his garage is worth a whopping $737,000.
At this point, only two assumptions are likely to exist: he is either a car fanatic or he's
just too rich.
Let me know what you think.
3.MULTI-MILLION MANSIONS Did you know Reynolds and Lively love old
school architecture?
Well, if you didn't, now you do, so it shouldn't be surprising at all to know that the couple
lives in an old colonial property that was first built in 1860.
The property is located in Pound Ridge, New York complete with seven bedrooms and six
bathrooms across 11.65 acres of space.
The pair purchased the house for $5.7 million in 2012, six months after they began dating.
They also own a three-bedroom apartment in the Tribeca building located in an upscale
Manhattan neighborhood.
They are neighbors with Justin Timberlake, Meg Ryan and Jessica Biel.
How much they acquired their apartment is undisclosed but according to the New York
Post in 2019, toy moguls Laura and Judd Zebersky listed their 3,022-square-foot, three-bedroom
Tribeca unit for $8.5 million which they bought for $8.4 million in 2017.
That's super wild, so let's just move on, yeah.
The pair previously owned a three-bedroom property in Bedford New York which was valued
at $2.3 million.
They, however, sold the property for $2.495 million in 2013.
That's smart, I mean, who needs a $2.3 million house when you have $5.7 million property
that comes with Martha Stewart as a neighbor.
2.HUMANITARIAN WORKS Aside from living in a huge mansion and his
movies making huge box office profits, he also has a big heart.
He has made numerous donations to charities like Vancouver's Covenant House, which provides
shelter to runaways and the homeless.
He has also showered his generosity to charities in third world countries.
He has helped African charities like Hope North, a high school in Uganda that educates
former child soldiers.
He also traveled to Malawi to support the Friends of Mulanje Orphans (FOMO).
During the pandemic, Reynolds and Lively donated $500,000 each to Feeding American and Food
Banks Canada to support those affected by the pandemic-fueled hunger crisis.
Most recently, the pair pledged to match dollar-for-dollar donations to the UN refugee agency up to $1
million.
To be honest, the pair has a good heart.
And, since we're on the subject of honesty, you won't want to miss what's coming next.
Fun fact: The city of Ottawa honored him for his generosity by naming a new street after
him.
Ryan Reynold Way.
1.BUSINESS VENTURES AND NET WORTH In January 2018, Reynolds and George Dewey
founded Maximum Effort, a film production company and digital marketing agency.
Later that year, in June, it was acquired by MNTN, an advertising software company,
with Reynolds as MNTN's chief creative officer and Dewey as its chief brand officer.
In February 2018, he acquired a stake in Aviation American Gin.
Following his expressed interest in taking an active role in the business, he became
the brand’s chief spokesperson and marketing face.
On August 17, 2020, Liquor company, Diageo, acquired Aviation American Gin for $610 million.
Diageo has indicated that Reynolds still holds an ownership stake in Aviation.
Two years after announcing his involvement with Aviation Gin, it became the second-largest
super-premium Gin brand in the US.
I know what you're thinking, but no, it isn't luck, it's Ryan Reynolds, the business wizard.
In November 2019, he purchased a share of Mint Mobile, an American telecommunications
company.
Aside from being known as a shareholder, he has actively participated in numerous ads
marketing the product.
He is reported to own between 20% and 25% of Mint Mobile
In 2020, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, through RR McReynolds Company LLC, became
the new owners of Wrexham Association Football Club.
It is reported that the duo paid $2 million for the club.
That same year, he joined the board of directors of social media company Match Group, which
owns Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish and Match.com.
If he hadn't been an actor, I'm pretty sure most people watching have a good sense of
what he would have done instead.
Considering his multiple sources of income, it's common knowledge that Ryan Reynolds is
a millionaire, which begs the question by how much?
The answer, by a whopping $150 million.
And yes, if Netflix or Marvel starts cutting you 8-figure cheques, and you acquire a few
companies, you could even be worth more.
Hope you enjoyed this video.
