A lot of A-listers from Hollywood have made business ventures in the past but not all of them have always not turned out the best. Celebrities like Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, and Ryan Reynolds have made massive strides in recent years to make their investment portfolios a lot better by investing in sports teams and leagues.
Ryan Reynolds also made a similar investment a few years ago in the most famous sport of the world, football, and bought the English football club, Wrexham A.F.C. with Rob McElhenney. In a recent friendly match, Wrexham A.F.C. absolutely destroyed one of the biggest football clubs in the world, Manchester United, and shocked the whole community.

Ryan Reynolds also took the opportunity to take it to Twitter and thanked Manchester United for playing with his team.
