    How Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds spends his $150m fortune – from fleet of supercars to wife’s $2m engagement ring

    IN his 32-year career as one of Hollywood’s best-loved heartthrobs, Ryan Reynolds has made an enviable fortune for himself. The Deadpool star, 46, is now worth an estimated $150million and although he lives a relatively low-key lifestyle, he has no problem splashing the cash.

    Ryan’s most famous purchase came in 2021 when – alongside fellow actor Rob McElhenney – he bought non-league football club Wrexham for $2.5million.
    And the actor delighted fans as he appeared on TV to hand Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Mark Hughes a shirt as his side drew 3-3 in the FA Cup over the weekend.
    From luxury cars to expensive jewellery and private jets to business ventures, Ryan lives the life of a true Hollywood A-Lister alongside his wife Blake Lively, 35.
    Here, we look at the incredible life of one of the most influential power couples in the entertainment industry.

    Ryan is known for his love of supercars and has an impressive collection.
    It’s been reported that he and Blake own over 20 vehicles including a Lamborghini Aventador – the 2022 edition of the car has a starting price of $507,353.
    Among his other luxury rides are a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, and an Audi R8.
    Ryan has been described as an adrenaline junkie and is an avid fan of motorbikes.

    He is said to be the proud owner of a Ducati SC1000, which he’s customised with a leather seat and a heat wrap, and a Triumph Bonneville.
    The star is also fond of cheaper cars such as the Toyota Prius and BMW 7 Series.
    Designer life

    Ryan and Blake are red carpet darlings and are often seen showing off their incredible style.
    It’s been reported that she doesn’t even need a stylist and often picks out and coordinates her outfits herself, unlike many of her peers.
    She once explained this in an interview: “Probably because I have control issues and a big ego – that’s probably the honest answer.”
    Blake’s closet consists of clothes from expensive designers such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana.
    In 2021, fans were able to get a rare glimpse of her wardrobe, which included bags gifted to her by designers and a mind-blowing collection of shoes.
    This includes 21 pairs of Louboutin heels – which can cost up to $3,462 for a single pair.
    According to reports, Blake once brought 40 pairs of the red-bottomed shoes to the set of one of her movies.

    Ryan is said to have asked Blake to marry him with a bespoke 12 carat rose gold ring that cost nearly $2million, making it one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.
    Ryan worked on the ring with iconic jeweller and Blake’s friend Lorraine Schwartz.
    But that’s not all – Blake is known for her love of all things that sparkle and reportedly showed off a whopping $10million worth of jewellery in one week.
    For her look on the 2018 Met Gala red carpet, she adorned herself with jewellery that cost $2million.
    She’s not the only one in the family who’s fond of the flashier things in life, however.
    Ryan, who was once an ambassador for the Swiss luxury watch brand Piaget, has been seen rocking some expensive timepieces.
    His remarkable collection is said to include classics by Cartier, Panerai, Chopard, and Omega.
    Sprawling property

    Ryan has an enviable property portfolio, thanks to his illustrious career, where he’s once said to have charged over $20million for a movie.
    The couple’s breathtaking farmhouse on the outskirts of New York, which sits on 500,000 square foot of land, is said to have set them back over nearly $5.7million.
    They secretly bought the house in 2012 before the birth of their first child.
    Fans have only managed to get glimpses of the interior of the property they share with kids Inez, Betty, and Jame through Instagram posts and interviews granted by Ryan during the Covid outbreak.
    The interior has a rustic vibe with a wooden dining table, beige leather sofas, and a washed wood beam.
    Although the home is magnificent, it is also discreet with neighbours including businesswoman Martha Stewart and designer Ralph Lauren.
    The couple secretly tied the knot in September 2012 at the lavish Boone Hall Plantation, which has been featured in movies such as The Notebook.
    Business ventures and jet setting

    Over the years, Ryan has invested in a number of businesses – some of those took fans and even his wife by surprise.
    He is a co-owner of Welsh football club Wrexham A.FC., the third oldest professional football team in the world, which he bought at $2.5million.
    Blake had no idea that her husband was planning a takeover of the club and was initially not impressed with the purchase.
    When asked in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel about her reaction, Ryan said: “Not good. Not great. We’re still working through that one.”

    Ryan has also taken on business ventures such as Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile.
    The pair are also known for their extensive work with charities – they donated over $500,000 to a Canadian water charity and matched donations of up to $1million for families displayed by Putin’s war in Ukraine. More

    But the message on social media contained a spelling mistakeCredit: Getty
    Both clubs have seen bids rejected and are trying to sign him before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
    And Caicedo took to social media to express his feelings.
    The 21-year-old said: “I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them. I always play football with a smile and with heart.
    “I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador. My dream always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador.

    “I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful.
    “The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.”
    But Caicedo’s message on Instagram contained some errors.
    Remarkably, he spelt the name of his home town Santo Domingo wrong.

    Instead of spelling it with an “O” at the end of Santo, he put an “A”, which appears to suggest that his message could have been written by a representative.
    Furthermore, quote marks were also included on the message, which hints that it might have been drafted by someone else.
    Caicedo spent time in Santo Domingo last month following Ecuador’s exit from the World Cup and was given a hero’s welcome upon his return.
    La Hora, the paper in the city, said at the time: “He indicated he has not thought about going anywhere else.”
    But Caicedo’s stance has changed following interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
    Brighton, who have still said he’s not for sale, have responded to the situation by telling the midfielder to stay away from the club until the window closes.
    And he won’t feature against Liverpool in the FA Cup tomorrow. More
