“#Ryan Reynolds is poised to reap a windfall from his Mint Mobile stake<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

While Scarlett Johansson tussles with Disney over her \u201cBlack Widow\u201d compensation, claiming she\u2019s out $50 million, her ex Ryan Reynolds could be prepping for a windfall in the hundreds of millions.<\/p>\n

The Canadian-born \u201cDeadpool\u201d actor \u2014 who divorced Johansson a decade ago \u2014 married Blake Lively the following year. In late 2019, Reynolds also scored a tie-up with Mint Mobile, snagging a stake in the prepaid phone provider even as he became its pitchman.<\/p>\n

Reynolds soon got to work, pushing the service to his 38 million Instagram followers and 17.7 million Twitter<\/a> followers. According to a source, the 44-year-old star had a solid source of motivation: His Mint stake is estimated between 20 and 25 percent of the company, according to the source.<\/p>\n

Now, Mint is shopping itself and could sell for as much as $600 million to $800 million, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. Altice USA, which owns cable, phone, internet, and wireless services, is said to be the lead buyer, although it\u2019s unclear whether it will end up closing a deal. <\/p>\n

Altice USA has been making cell phones a focus recently \u2014 rebranding their mobile service provider <\/a>last week from Altice Mobile to Optimum Mobile. In their second quarter earnings call Thursday, CEO Dexter Goei\u00a0said mobile would continue to be a huge focus. \u201cWe\u2019ll be looking at being more aggressive on the mobile side,\u201d Goei added. <\/p>\n

\"Mint
Five-year-old Mint is a mobile virtual network operator, meaning it piggybacks on another network \u2014 T-Mobile in Mint\u2019s case \u2014 to provide service to customers.<\/figcaption>

Altice declined comment. Bank of America declined comment. Mint Mobile did not respond to request for comment. A Reynolds rep wasn\u2019t immediately able to comment.<\/p>\n

Mint is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) meaning the company piggybacks on another network \u2014 in this case T-Mobile \u2014 to provide service to customers. It was started in California in 2016.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how much Mint has expanded since Reynolds came on board but a previous report <\/a>suggests between November 2017 and November 2020 the company increased revenue 50,000 percent.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan
Ryan Reynolds\u2019 stake in Mint is estimated between 20 and 25 percent of the company, a source told The Post.<\/figcaption>

\u201cCelebrities general<\/a>ly invest in high-end products like skincare brands or delicious gin companies,\u201d Reynolds said, making a sly reference to his previous venture, Aviation Gin. \u201cYet Mint is making wireless way more affordable at a time when the average American is paying 65 dollars a month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investors might take heed. Reynolds sold Aviation Gin last August for $610 million.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
