Thanks to T-Mobile recently announcing its US$1.35 billion acquisition of Mint Mobile – a budget wireless provider that Reynolds holds a minority stake in – the duo are certain to get a lot richer, with Reynolds bagging at least US$300 million from the sale, according to the BBC.

The couple were previously estimated to be worth US$180 million, meaning they made almost double that overnight from a single investment.
