Ryan Reynolds has seen his wealth boom by several hundred million overnight after Mint Mobile, the phone company he had a 25% stake in, was acquired by T-Mobile in a deal worth $1.35bn (£1.1bn).
The Wrexham owner and Hollywood star will remain with the network in a “creative role” but reports in America say that he has made $337.5m (£280m) from the deal announced on Wednesday afternoon.
"I never dreamt I'd own a wireless company and I certainly never dreamt I'd sell it to T-Mobile,” Reynolds said on Twitter after the Mint Mobile sale was announced. "Life is strange and I'm incredibly proud and grateful."
