An insight into the net worth of Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds has emerged this week.

Along with Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds purchased Wrexham back in February 2021.

The Hollywood duo have taken the Red Dragons from the National League up to League One and are showing no signs of slowing down on the ambition front.

The decision to appoint Phil Parkinson as Wrexham manager back in 2022 proved to be a wise one, as he has completely transformed the way the Welsh outfit play.

But there is no ignoring that the club have been helped out massively due to the financial back of their current owners.

Bolton’s manager aimed a dig at Reynolds and McElhenney for their spending over the summer and he is now unlikely to be too pleased at the recent news emerging regarding the former of that duo.

According to Wales Online, after buying a majority stake in the Wrexham Lager brewery, Reynolds’ net worth is now estimated to be around $350 million (£281 million).
