Ryan Reynolds is no stranger for “Forbes’” Highest-Paid Actors list, and now he’s about to become millions of dollars richer. The actor has reportedly sold his co-owned Aviation American Gin company for a whopping $610-million.
Who’s getting the A-list gin? Diageo, the world’s largest spirits maker, has reportedly swiped it up. Reynolds is clearly psyched about the new chapter, he’s already gone out of his way to write an out-of-office message… and as you’d expect, it’s hilarious.
“Thanks for your email. I am currently out of the office but will still be very hard at work selling Aviation Gin. For quite a long time, it seems,” the message starts off. “In related news, I just learned what an ‘earn out’ is… And I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I told to go f**k themselves in the last 24 hours… I’ll indeed be needing your help in the coming months and years.”
- The bounceback email closes with some equally hilarious thanks: “Mom, Blake, Peter, Diageo CEO, The Rock, George Clooney, Southern Glazer’s, Betty White, TGI Friday’s, Baxter, Calisthenics, AMC Theaters, Total Wine, The Number 8, Don Saladino, Darden, The Head of Alfredo Garcia, Soothing Lavender Eye Pillows.”
