<h2>Ryan Reynolds sells Mint Mobile for $1.3 billion</h2>
<p>Reynolds showcased his entrepreneurial prowess after he revealed that T-Mobile is set to buy Mint Mobile for over $1 billion. The actor, who was one of Mint Mobile’s biggest investors, has not revealed how much stake in the company he actually owned.</p>
<p>According to <a href=”https://people.com/movies/ryan-reynolds-sells-wireless-company-for-more-than-1-billion-dollars/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>, Reynolds might own as much as 25 percent of the company. If that is the case, then the <em>Deadpool</em> star is in for a very lucrative payday once the deal is finalized.</p>
<p>“We are so happy T-Mobile beat out an aggressive last-minute bid from my mom,” Reynolds teased after announcing the purchase. “Mint Mobile is the best deal in wireless and today’s news only enhances our ability to deliver for our customers.”</p>

<p>Apart from his investment in the cell company, Reynolds has a stake in the alcohol brand Aviation Gin. The actor-turned-businessman also <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/wales-to-honor-rob-mcelhenney-ryan-reynolds-next-month-documentary-series-welcome-to-wrexham.html/”>owns a soccer team in Wales</a> with Rob McElhenney, who is known for his role as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-rob-mcelhenney-kaitlin-olson-reveal-story-behind-falling-in-love-set.html/”>Mac on <em>It’s Always Sunny</em></a>. </p>
<p>Considering Reynolds’ vast portfolio, fans will be keen to learn where he stands in the list of richest stars in Marvel’s lineup.</p>
<h2>This is where the ‘Deadpool’ star ranks amongst Marvel’s richest stars</h2>
<p>Following numerous blockbuster successes, it’s no shock that several of Marvel’s major stars have accumulated immense wealth. Although Marvel’s leading actors have raked in hundreds of millions, Reynolds’ fortune now surpasses them all.</p>
<p>Estimations of Reynolds’ net worth have yet to be updated following the sale of Mint Mobile. But prior to the deal, <a href=”https://parade.com/celebrities/ryan-reynolds-net-worth” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Parade</a> estimated the actor’s wealth to be upwards of $150 million. </p>
<p>We still don’t know exactly how much <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/deadpool-3-update-ryan-reynolds-confirms-hugh-jackman-wolverine-release-date.html/”>the <em>Deadpool</em> star</a> will make from the Mint Mobile buyout, but if the estimations that he owns up to 25 percent of the company are correct, then his take would be over $300 million. Making his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/net-worth/”>net worth</a> could triple to over $500 million.</p>

<p>The current top two wealthiest actors who have appeared in Marvel films are Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas. According to <a href=”https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3148568/12-richest-marvel-stars-ever-net-worths-ranked-scarlett” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>SCMP</a>, Downey is worth around $300 million while Douglas’ fortune sits at $350 million.</p>
<p>Reynolds, of course, has yet to appear in the MCU, but that is about to change in the near future.</p>
<h2 id=”h-ryan-reynolds-return-as-deadpool-will-close-out-phase-5-of-the-mcu”>Ryan Reynolds return as Deadpool will close out Phase 5 of the MCU</h2>
<p>Marvel announced its full lineup for Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe last year, but the studio is already making changes to the second half of the schedule. </p>
<p><em>Thunderbolts</em> was originally going to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-ryan-reynolds-really-feels-about-marvel-pushing-deadpool-back-to-phase-5.html/”>close out Phase 5</a>, but now <em>Blade</em> and <em>Deadpool 3</em> will reportedly end the fifth chapter of the MCU. The two franchises are relatively new to the MCU, and Marvel acquired rights to the films shortly after Phase 5 was mapped out.</p>
