About this listen
Ryan Reynolds is coming off a string of major developments both personal and professional in early July 2025. Just last week, the actor received one of Canada’s highest honors when he was appointed as an Officer to the Order of Canada during a heartfelt Canada Day ceremony in Ottawa, with his wife Blake Lively proudly documenting the moment. People magazine described Reynolds as immensely proud, emphasizing his deep gratitude for his Canadian roots and the communities that shaped him. In his statement, Reynolds joked about wanting to break his officer’s medal into thousands of pieces to share and promised to use his powers for good and general whimsy—a peak Reynolds moment.
On the business front, Reynolds’s financial ascent continues to make headlines. According to Park Magazine, his net worth has reached a remarkable $350 million, driven not only by his blockbuster film salaries—now a jaw-dropping $20 million per picture—but by savvy investments and strategic business exits. The sale of Mint Mobile to T-Mobile for roughly $1.35 billion remains a defining windfall, netting him about $330 million, and his Alpine F1 stake, now valued at over $200 million, underscores his skill in identifying trends and betting on long-term growth areas. Even as Deadpool and Wolverine smashed the billion-dollar mark worldwide, Reynolds’ backend stakes sent his personal profits soaring, further solidifying his status as both Hollywood superstar and entrepreneurial heavyweight.
But not everything is polished red carpet glamour. Reynolds’ name is closely tied to a very public legal dispute involving his wife. As Blake Lively prepares for her deposition in the ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit against actor-director Justin Baldoni, TMZ and Reality Tea report that Reynolds will not be present for the proceedings. The upcoming July 17 deposition in New York is expected to be a pivotal moment in a case that’s gripped Hollywood gossip circles for months. Unconfirmed internet speculation, such as comments from the Rush Hour podcast, have probed whether jealousy played any role in this dispute, especially given Reynolds’s own high-profile past relationships, but there’s no verifiable evidence connecting him to Baldoni’s alleged actions or confirming these rumors.
Amid the swirl of legal drama, Reynolds has shrugged off questions about the impact of such headlines on his extensive business dealings. As profiled by Time Magazine’s Most Influential Companies issue, Reynolds downplayed any personal or professional fallout, saying that public opinion—positive or negative—holds little sway over how he runs his businesses, emphasizing integrity and core values.
On the festival circuit, Reynolds is set to be a presenter at the renowned Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, as noted on Instagram, reinforcing his ongoing commitment to both his comedic roots and Canadian arts.
And for fans of the footballing fairytale, Reynolds and co-owner Rob McElhenney are seeing financial results from their Wrexham project. The Wrexham Insider highlighted that their stewardship has fuelled a staggering 52 percent profit for the club, which is now in the midst of confirming new billionaire investment and eyeing even broader ambitions for the Welsh team and community.
As for pop culture, Reynolds is once again trending after his 2009 rom-com The Proposal climbed back up the Disney Plus streaming charts, thanks in part to a clever fourth-wall joke in Deadpool and Wolverine, drawing nostalgic and new eyes alike.
In sum, the last few days for Ryan Reynolds have been a rapid-fire blend of honors, headlines, big business, and a few tabloid shadows, all underscoring his unique ability to stay at the top of his game—and the center of the conversation.
