Ryan Reynolds is proving to be quite the businessman.
On Wednesday, T-Mobile announced it was acquiring Mint Mobile, one of several businesses that count Reynolds as an investor, for $1.35 billion.
Variety reports his stake could be as much as 25%. "Mint Mobile is the best deal in wireless and today's news only enhances our ability to deliver for our customers," Reynolds said in a statement released by T-Mobile on Wednesday.
"We are so happy T-Mobile beat out an aggressive last-minute bid from my mom Tammy Reynolds as we believe the excellence of their 5G network will provide a better strategic fit than my mom's slightly-above-average mahjong skills," the actor-turned-entrepreneur joked.
"I am so proud of the entire Mint team and so excited for what's to come," Reynolds added.
As part of the deal, Reynolds will remain in his creative role on behalf of the company too.
In a further side venture, Reynolds co-owns Welsh soccer team Wrexham with fellow actor, Rob McElhenney.
