Ryan Reynolds now owns Mint Mobile
So this is what he did with all that Deadpool money.
Ryan Reynolds has gone mobile.
Ryan Reynolds has bought into the phone biz. The Deadpool and Detective Pikachu actor has purchased an ownership stake in budget wireless carrier Mint Mobile.
"It's a bit unconventional which is why I like it," Reynolds said Monday in a statement. "Celebrities generally invest in high-end products like skincare brands or delicious gin companies. Yet Mint is making wireless way more affordable at a time when the average American is paying 65 dollars a month. I'm excited to champion a more practical approach to the most essential technology."
Reynolds also tweeted about his new business and joked that he will only make $15 a month, the same amount Mint Mobile charges for its base plan.
Newest @_MintMobile customer. Also, owner of the company. To keep things above board, I’ll be paying myself $15 a month. #MintOwner pic.twitter.com/hrzd8t8T2H

Mint Mobile started in 2016 offering low-priced wireless service off the T-Mobile network.
Correction, Jan. 30: This story misstated how often Ryan Reynolds will earn $15. It's monthly.
