Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are often regarded as one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood. Not to mention their relationship seems like #goals. Between the hilarious internet trolling and sweet Instagram captions, who could compete? Well keeping up with the Lively-Reynolds family just got harder.
For starters, Blake is so iconic at this point that she actually co-hosted the Met Gala this year. This was right after she made her directorial debut with a music video for her good buddy Taylor Swift. Safe to say, she has generally been crushing it on the work front. Ryan, of course, has been busy with a slew of movies, including The Adam Project and Red Notice, along with work at his company, Aviation American Gin.
With their box office hits, entrepreneurial ventures and real estate, the couples' combined net worth is getting close to $200 million at this point, and rising by the day. A new superlative may definitely be in order. Here's exactly how Blake and Ryan have made their money.
Blake's net worth alone is an estimated $30 million.
Blake's career really took off after her role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She went on to film six seasons of Gossip Girl. According to the Daily Mail, Blake made $1.1 million for season three alone. This averages out to about $50,000 per episode.
In terms of films, Blake’s most lucrative roles include The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, The Town, and Green Lantern. These films earned an estimated worldwide total of over $200 million, according to the Daily Mail. In 2020, Blake also starred in The Rhythm Section, a thriller that had an estimated $50 million budget, and you can assume a hefty sum also went to its leading lady.
Blake recently directed Taylor Swift’s 2021 “I Bet You Think About Me” video. And, while it’s not clear how much she got paid for that gig, she was nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award for it.
That all puts her net worth around $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
She and Ryan own a $5 million country mansion in New York
According to People, Blake and Ryan purchased a country home in Bedford, NY, in January 2012, just six months after they started dating. They must have known it would last because the couple got married that September. The 4,753-square-foot house has plenty of space for the glam couple's growing family, per Haute Residence.
The house cost an estimated $5 million and is a seven-bedroom and six-bathroom beauty, per E! News. There’s even an outdoor barn because, why not? Oh, and Martha Stewart apparently lives nearby, too.
Ryan made the Forbes 2017 and 2020 list of highest paid actors.
Ryan Reynolds was number 18 on the Forbes list of the world's highest paid celebrities back in 2020.
He’s been big on Netflix movies lately but in 2017, he starred in Marvel's Deadpool, which grossed $783.1 million on a $58 million budget. Forbes estimated Ryan took home $21.5 million. The business magazine also estimated that Ryan would take home much more from the sequel, which he did along with big box office bonuses to the tune of at least $10 million, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Once upon a time, Ryan was content with much smaller pay checks. “For me, I thought I was, like, a gajillionaire,” Ryan told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan in an interview on ABC in 2016. “For $150 a day, it was like a dream come true.”
Ryan is cashing in on Netflix movies
While Ryan may not have cracked the top 10 of Forbes' highest paid actors in the past two years, he's been keeping busy with recent roles in movies like The Adam Project and Red Notice.
He also starred in Pokémon, Detective Pikachu, Free Guy, and more in recent years. He also pocketed a cool $27 million in 2019 to star in Netflix's 6 Underground, according to Variety. The Michael Bay action flick is about a billionaire-financed vigilante squad, including Ryan's character, One, and Ryan definitely reaped the rewards from that one.
Cool fact: Ryan and Blake’s Group Effort Initiative is currently working with Netflix to hire people from underrepresented communities in film and TV production jobs, per Variety.
He owns a soccer team.
Ryan and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney recently bought Welsh soccer team, Wrexham AFC. The two invested $3.4 million in the club, according to CBC.
Apparently, Ryan made the purchase without talking to Blake first, the actor said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I have bad news and I have really bad news,” Ryan said he told Blake. “The bad news is I slipped into someone’s [DMs] again. The really bad news is I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales.” He joked, “we’re still working through that one.”
It's unclear how much this ownership brings in.
His total net worth is an estimated $150 million.
Ryan has starred in several hit films including The Proposal, Definitely, Maybe and Just Friends. Of course, Marvel's Deadpool franchise has been one of his biggest paychecks. But Reynolds also has stake ownership in Aviation Gin and is now co-owner of a big soccer team, so that also adds to the total.
After doing the math, the two lovebirds have a net worth of nearly $200 million dollars. Cheers to one of the cutest and most loaded couples in Hollywood.
