Ryan Reynolds has enjoyed a spectrum of success in recent years. The actor has been perfectly running Wrexham and continues to lead it to glory. Besides garnering fame and wealth as an actor, he has been enjoying a significant amount of limelight as an investor.

The Deadpool star has invested in some different ventures, including a gin company, a telecom company, and a soccer club. It seems the Canadian-born actor has good fortune when it comes to investing his money. Reynolds has been keen to increase his financial empire. And it seems, he has added yet another venture to his investment portfolio.

Ryan Reynolds expands his investment portfolio

Reynolds definitely didn’t know about running a soccer club, but it seems he is doing just fine. And now he is set to broaden his horizons as he enters the fintech industry. The actor recently made an investment in Montreal-based payments company Nuvei Corp. Both Reynolds and the company’s chief executive, Philip Fayer, sat down for an interview with CNBC.

“I know nothing about fintech. Thank God, I’m not running the company,” he said. “While a lot of people are running away from fintech, this is one company worth running toward.” Nuvei is a payment service provider to the sports betting industry. The company announced on Monday but didn’t give much inside deets regarding the size of the investment.

Earlier Monday, Reynolds even did a promotional ad for the company. He even posted a hilarious video on Twitter. The video surely gave a laugh to many netizens. His investment in the company is mostly to promote the Canadian company, as he called the move “Canada-flexing.”

This comes just days after he doubled his net worth by selling his mobile company for $1.3 billion. He also had a few words regarding his other investments. “If you look at a gin company, a wireless company, and a Welsh football club, those things don’t really go together if you think about it, but they all have strong brand foundations.”
