Ryan Reynolds net worth
According to Forbes, Ryan Reynolds was the 15th highest-paid actor in 2017, earning an estimated $21.5 million from the film “Deadpool” alone.
With so many projects and collaborations celebrities are involved with these days, it becomes difficult to determine the actual “value” of a celebrity. According to the popular celebrity site Celebrity Net Worth, they estimate Ryan Reynolds net worth is $75 million.
Reynolds joins the list of celebrities who have invested in liquor companies to help boost sales and their own wallets. In 2007, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs partnered with Ciroc vodka and was made the company’s brand ambassador. Actor George Clooney owned a third of the Casamigos tequila brand in 2013. He later sold the company for around $700 million.
