Ryan Reynolds, best known as the face behind Marvel superhero Deadpool, is one of the highest-paid actors in the world today. Here's a look at his fortune and career ahead of the premiere of his new sci-fi action-adventure movie, "The Adam Project."

Currently, the 45-year-old Canadian actor's net worth is estimated to be around $150 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Reynolds got his start in acting in 1991 when he played the role of Billy Simpson on the TV series "Fifteen," but his career didn't kick off until 18 years later when he starred opposite Hugh Jackman in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

He went on to star in "The Proposal" (2009), "Green Lantern" (2011) and "Deadpool" (2015).

In 2017, Reynolds made it to the top 20 of Forbes' list of the highest-paid actors and actresses in the world with $22 million in earnings that year.

Following the success of the "Deadpool" franchise, Reynolds entered the category of actors who can earn $20 million upfront to star in a movie. He was reportedly paid $27 million upfront for the 2019 Michael Bay film "6 Underground," according to Celebrity Net Worth.

In 2020, he was listed as the second-highest-paid actor in Hollywood by Forbes after he earned a whopping $71.5 million. He was behind Dwayne Johnson, who topped the list for the second year in a row with $87.5 million.

Reynolds' latest movies included "Red Notice," "Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" and "Deadpool 2."

In addition to his on-screen acting roles, Reynolds has also ventured into the world of voice acting. He had starring roles in two Dreamworks Animation films, "The Croods" and "Turbo,” and voiced Pikachu in "Pokémon Detective Pikachu.”

He is also a film producer and a screenwriter. Reynolds received credit as a co-writer for the first two "Deadpool" films.

Reynolds is also a businessman. In February 2018, he acquired an "unspecified minority" ownership stake in the liquor company Aviation American Gin for an undisclosed sum. He also serves as the brand's spokesman and creative director.

The following year, he purchased an ownership stake in mobile wireless provider Mint Mobile.

In 2020, Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney completed the takeover of Welsh club Wrexham AFC, the third-oldest professional soccer club in the world, according to ESPN.

Reynolds married his "Green Lantern" co-star Blake Lively in 2012. They share three daughters together. In 2012, the couple reportedly purchased a 9,000-square-foot home in Westchester County, New York, for $6 million.

Reynolds' latest film, "The Adam Project," which also stars Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Walker Scobell, Catherine Keener and Zoe Saldaña, premieres this Friday on Netflix.
