President Donald Trump ordered his trade chief to reopen investigations into<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41147159/netflix-disney-amazon-hit-by-philippines-new-12-tax-on-digital-providers"> digital service taxes</a> imposed on U.S. tech firms, a move that could result in new tariffs on affected countries. 
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s order, issued on Friday, is aimed at countering the DSTs,&nbsp;fines, practices, and policies that&nbsp;foreign governments impose on American companies. 
The directive calls on the U.S. Trade Representative&#8217;s office to reopen past digital service tax investigations from Trump's first term and examine any new cases where digital taxes may unfairly target U.S. companies.

Countries including Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, India, Austria, and Canada have implemented these taxes on the local sales revenue of these and other digital service providers.
During Trump's first term, the U.S. Trade Representative's office launched Section 301 investigations into these policies, resulting in retaliatory tariffs on select imports.
Why It Matters: This move by Trump comes in the wake of his recent announcement to impose a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43805852/trump-shakes-global-trade-with-25-auto-chip-and-pharma-tariffs-announcement-asian-stocks-pare-their-five-day-rally">25% tariff on auto imports, chips, and pharmaceuticals</a>, causing a stir in international trade. The tariffs are expected to take effect as early as April 2, following a report from his cabinet members outlining options for import duties.
Amid escalating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43876173/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-meets-trump-as-tariff-impact-looms-on-iphone-sales-and-companys-china-strategy">trade tensions between the U.S.</a> and China, Apple&#8217;s CEO Tim Cook is said to have met President Trump. According to Trump, Cook discussed investing &#8220;hundreds of billions of dollars&#8221; in the U.S. amid tariff threat.
Trump&#8217;s memo instructs his administration to assess whether any European Union or British policies encourage U.S. companies to adopt practices that restrict free speech or promote censorship. According to a White House fact sheet, special attention will be given to how U.S. firms are impacted by the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act.
This comes amid ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40915828/google-wins-1-7b-eu-antitrust-fine-appeal-over-5-year-old-online-search-advertising-case">tension between tech giants and the EU. </a>

Trump Moves To Impose Tariffs On Countries With Digital Taxes, Defending Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google And Other US Tech Giants

Michael Jordan's legendary Chicago estate has taken on a new life under its latest owner. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42638801/before-his-180-on-climate-change-elon-musk-advocated-for-action-cautioning-that-oceanfront-real-estate-values-would-plummet-2">sitting on the market</a> for over a decade, the sprawling Highland Park mansion finally sold for $9.5 million in December. But instead of keeping it as a private home, the new buyer, John Cooper, is already shaking things up—turning it into a luxury rental at a jaw-dropping $230,000 per month and selling off shares of the property in a unique timeshare model.

</ul>
Jordan originally listed the 56,000-square-foot estate in 2012 for $29 million, but it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42678673/michael-jordan-sells-his-massive-luxury-mansion-for-9-5-million-but-it-took-12-years-to-find-a-buyer-and-he-spent-50-million-building-it">struggled to attract buyers</a>, despite multiple price cuts and the home's deep ties to the basketball legend. The mansion, known as Legend Point, boasts nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, a full-size basketball court, a cigar lounge, and even doors from the original Playboy Mansion. After years of markdowns, Cooper, a real estate investor from Nebraska, purchased the property for $9.5 million—a significant drop from its original asking price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Legend Point Into A Business</h2>
Rather than using the mansion as his primary residence, Cooper quickly set plans in motion to monetize the iconic home. Per Realtor.com, just weeks after closing the deal, he announced that portions of the property would be sold as luxury timeshares under the name &#8220;Champions Point.&#8221; Co-owners can buy a share for at least $1 million, granting them access to the estate for a designated week each year. Owners can invite up to 24 guests and even host high-end events for an extra fee.

Now, in addition to selling shares, Cooper has listed the entire estate for rent, offering anyone with deep enough pockets the chance to live in Jordan's former home for $230,000 a month. The listing describes it as a &#8220;once-in-a-lifetime opportunity&#8221; for those who &#8220;live and breathe sports.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Renters and Co-Owners Get</h2>
The mansion's amenities are as grand as its history. Renters and co-owners gain access to a regulation-size basketball court, an infinity pool with an island, a tennis court, a putting green, a state-of-the-art home theater, a wine cellar, a commercial-grade fitness center, and a cigar room with a custom humidor. High-end add-ons, including private chefs, on-site entertainment, and luxury transportation, are also available for an extra cost.
Cooper, a longtime Bulls fan who has lived in Chicago for the past decade, says he wants to preserve the property's legacy while also making it more accessible to sports enthusiasts, celebrities, and businesses looking for a one-of-a-kind luxury experience.

Michael Jordan's Former $9.5 Million Chicago Megamansion Is Now A $230,000/Month Rental As Its New Owner Sells Off Pieces Of The Property

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook has reportedly pledged a significant investment in the United States and a shift in manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S. President Donald Trump made this announcement during a meeting with governors.
What Happened: After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43876173/apple-ceo-tim-cook-reportedly-meets-trump-as-tariff-impact-looms-on-iphone-sales-and-companys-china-strategy">meeting Cook at the White House </a>this week, Trump revealed that the Apple CEO had assured him of moving iPhone maker&#8217;s manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S.
 &#8220;He&#8217;s&nbsp;investing hundreds of billions of&nbsp;dollars&#8230; That&#8217;s&nbsp;what he told me. Now&nbsp;he has to do it,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump also mentioned that Cook had halted two plants in Mexico and would now be producing Apple products in the U.S. However, Cook has not yet publicly announced any such investment.
"They don't want to be in the tariffs," Trump said.

It's unclear which manufacturing facilities Trump was referring to. Foxconn Technology Group, the maker of Apple's iPhones, already has a strong presence in Mexico and plans to expand further.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Why It Matters: The news of Apple&#8217;s potential shift in manufacturing and significant U.S. investment comes at a crucial time for the tech giant. Like other tech giants, Apple is grappling with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827658/exclusive-apple-nvidia-tesla-or-boeing-which-company-faces-the-biggest-risk-from-trumps-china-tariffs-35-say-this-stock">rising U.S.-China trade tensions.</a> Trump&#8217;s 10% tariff on Chinese-made goods poses a significant challenge, as China remains Apple's primary manufacturing hub, and the U.S., is its largest market.
According to an analyst at Bank of America, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america">iPhone maker will need to hike prices</a> on iPhones, iPads, and other products by approximately 9% to counter the effect of tariffs. assuming a minimum 10% tariff applies to all of them. The analyst also expects a potential hit on the sales volume.
On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43820197/apple-unveils-iphone-16e-with-a18-chip-ai-features-599-price-tag">a budget-friendly successor</a> to the third-generation iPhone SE. Priced at $599, the device is designed to run artificial intelligence efficiently.

Tim Cook Reportedly Tells Trump Apple Will Invest 'Hundreds Of Billions' In US: 'They Don't Want To Be In The Tariffs'

Elon Musk&#8217;s unsolicited $97 billion bid for OpenAI&#8216;s assets has created a valuation challenge for the artificial intelligence leader, potentially complicating its planned transition to a for-profit structure.
Legal experts suggest the offer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43755069/openai-board-rejects-elon-musks-97-billion-acquisition-proposal-days-after-sam-altman-calls-it-a-move-to-slow-down-a-competitor#:~:text=OpenAI%20Board%20Rejects%20Elon%20Musk's,Slow%20Down'%20A%20Competitor%20%2D%20Benzinga">though swiftly rejected</a>, could force regulators to scrutinize OpenAI&#8217;s corporate restructuring more closely. The bid &#8220;will be more difficult to justify valuing the nonprofit&#8217;s assets at less than $97 billion if there is a concrete offer for that sum,&#8221; <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2025/02/11/elon-musks-97bn-offer-is-a-headache-for-sam-altmans-openai">according to a report by The Economist</a>.

</ul>
Musk, OpenAI&#8217;s co-founder and now rival, submitted the bid through a consortium on Feb. 11, targeting the non-profit entity that controls the company. The move escalates his feud with CEO Sam Altman over the company&#8217;s shift toward a more traditional corporate structure.
&#8220;OpenAI is not for sale,&#8221; company spokesman Chris Lehane told The Economist.
The timing appears strategic, as OpenAI reportedly seeks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">raise approximately $40 billion from investors, including SoftBank</a>. Musk&#8217;s bid could potentially disrupt the fundraising efforts by raising questions about proper valuation during the company&#8217;s restructuring.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Jill Horwitz, law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that the nonprofit board&#8217;s fiduciary duty is to act according to OpenAI&#8217;s legal purpose—building safe artificial intelligence that &#8220;benefits all of humanity.&#8221; The mission-focused obligation may provide flexibility in responding to acquisition offers.
Musk&#8217;s legal team has urged attorneys general in California and Delaware, where OpenAI operates, to ensure the nonprofit surrenders control at fair market value during any restructuring.&nbsp;
While company insiders doubt state officials will acquiesce to Musk, Horwitz noted they have &#8220;clear law to apply&#8221; regarding proper valuation.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
The bid follows recent tensions over the &#8220;Stargate Project,&#8221; a $100 billion data center investment fund announced by Altman and President Donald Trump on Jan. 21. Musk publicly questioned whether the project&#8217;s backers had sufficient funding, allegations they denied.
Altman responded to Musk&#8217;s bid with a facetious counteroffer on X—$9.7 billion to &#8220;buy Twitter,&#8221; as Musk&#8217;s social network was previously known. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s just trying to slow us down,&#8221; <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-02-11/altman-says-musk-probably-just-trying-to-slow-us-down-video">Altman told Bloomberg</a>. &#8220;I feel for the guy. I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s a happy person.&#8221;
The offer represents another front in Musk&#8217;s competitive strategy against his largest AI rival. He launched xAI in 2023, positioning it as a direct competitor to OpenAI.

Gavin Kliger, a member of the Department of Government Efficiency that is being led by Elon Musk, visited IRS headquarters in Washington on Feb. 13, requesting detailed information about agency operations and staffing, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/politics/doge-visits-the-irs-putting-staffers-on-edge/index.html">according to CNN</a>.
&#8220;My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk&#8217;s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason,&#8221; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) <a href="https://x.com/RonWyden/status/1890114168583565673">wrote on X</a>.

The visit marks the efficiency department&#8217;s first direct engagement with the tax agency, which employs approximately 100,000 workers. According to CNN, Kliger requested information about each business unit&#8217;s responsibilities and risk factors.
An email shared with CNN that was sent to IRS employees during the visit instructed staff to route queries about &#8220;high-profile visitors&#8221; through proper channels, noting the matter had been &#8220;elevated to Treasury&#8221; for further instruction.
President Donald Trump authorized the IRS review earlier in the day on Feb. 13, telling reporters, &#8220;the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else.&#8221; When asked if he expected the agency to be closed, Trump responded: &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t expect it.

Trader Notes: More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1892996131896074459">noted</a> that Bitcoin has confirmed a local top, aligning with broader market trends. The price failed to sustain above the Feb. 14 high. For a bullish continuation, it should hold above $94,645 in this potential wave 2. The key invalidation level is $93,450.
Crypto trader CJ explained Bitcoin has tagged last week&#8217;s high and low. It provided clean trades on both sides of the range. The trader awaits to see if mid-range demand holds. Ideally, BTC ranges through the weekend.

Hooters of America is huddling up with its creditors to cook up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">bankruptcy restructuring plan</a>. 
The famous BBQ wing chain has enlisted legal heavyweights at Ropes &amp; Gray to prep the filing, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. The court showdown could kick off within the next two months.
Known for its crop-top uniforms and winking owl mascot, Hooters is trying to get its financial house in order with help from turnaround pros at boutique firm Accordion Partners. 
Meanwhile, some of its lenders have brought in Houlihan Lokey to also advise the process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Else Is On The Bankruptcy Block?</h2>
Hooters isn&#8217;t the only sit-down dining spot feeling the heat of Chapter 11. 
Mediterranean fast-casual chain Rōti, for example, recently sold out of bankruptcy. According to <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">Crain&#8217;s Chicago</a>, a private-equity firm led by the founder of Edible Arrangements agreed to take it over. 
Rōti will retain 17 of its 19 locations once the deal is complete.
The culprit behind these filings? Fewer customers waltzing through doors thanks to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">inflation</a>. Plus, supply chain headaches, and soaring interest rates are pushing menu prices skyward. As a result, more folks are opting to cook at home. 
More than a dozen major restaurant groups or franchisees waved the white flag and filed for bankruptcy last year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">Red Lobster</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI Fridays</a>.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Chart Industries Stock In The Last 5 Years

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) more than doubled its bonus plan for company executives after announcing layoffs for about 3,600 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43874069/meta-slashes-employee-stock-awards-by-10-as-zuckerberg-pours-up-to-65-billion-into-ai-race-against-openai-alphabet-and-amazon-report">employees just last month.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: According to an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326801/000132680125000021/meta-20250213.htm">filing</a>, on Feb. 13, Meta approved a new bonus structure that raises the annual target bonus amount from 75% of each named executive officer's base salary to 200% of the base salary. 
The bonus structure excludes CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to the filing.

The move to increase bonuses for Meta's executives comes after the company announced in January that it would be cutting 5% of its workforce. That&#8217;s about 3,600 employees. 
Meta described the cuts as "performance terminations" aimed at improving efficiency.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,&#8221; Zuckerberg wrote in an internal memo published by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Former Meta employees<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723246/meta-faces-backlash-as-laid-off-workers-say-they-were-unfairly-targeted-despite-strong-performance-records"> spoke out</a> on social media. They claim that some high performers, including those on parental and medical leave, were unfairly targeted in the layoffs.  
&#8220;Meta is now the cruelest tech company out there,&#8221; a former employee posted on Blind, an anonymous forum for tech industry insiders.&nbsp;
The backlash does seem to have affected Meta's stock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43806703/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-platforms-dips-below-short-term-average-as-it-snaps-20-day-winning-run">which ran</a> on a 20-day winning streak just after the layoffs were announced. 
In the 20 trading sessions between Jan. 16 to Feb. 14, Meta's stock rose 20.22%, and the company added over $350 billion in market capitalization during this period.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Meta shares ended Friday's session down 1.62% at $683.55 amid a broad market selloff.

배우 라이언 레이놀즈를 최고 크리에이티브 책임자(CCO)로 둔 한 마케팅 회사는 2025년 기업공개를 계획하고 있으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40737439/ryan-reynolds-dominates-box-office-as-deadpool-while-also-building-billion-dollar-businesse" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">대형 스크린</a>에서 &#8216;데드풀&#8217;을 연기한 것으로 가장 잘 알려진 이 배우의 최근 성공 사례를 추가할 예정이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 커넥티드 TV 광고 회사 MNTN은 라이언 레이놀즈와 조지 듀이(George Dewey)가 2018년에 공동 설립한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33427835/ryan-reynolds-is-bringing-a-popular-television-alien-back-to-screens-hide-your-cats">맥시멈 에포트 마케팅(Maximum Effort Marketing)</a> 세그먼트를 소유하고 있다.
주로 &#8220;데드풀&#8221;을 홍보하는 광고와 레이놀즈와 관련된 다른 바이럴 광고로 잘 알려진 맥시멈 에포트 마케팅은 2021년에 MNTN에 인수되었다.
MNTN은 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/ryan-reynolds-s-mntn-is-said-to-tap-morgan-stanley-for-2025-ipo?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">블룸버그</a>의 새로운 보도에 따르면 2025년 IPO를 계획하고 있으며, 모건 스탠리가 상장 작업을 맡을 예정이다.
이 커넥티드 TV 광고 회사는 2021년에 시리즈 D 라운드에서 1억 1,900만 달러를 조달했으며, 블랙록(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>)과 피델리티 매니지먼트가 함께 1억 1,000만 달러를 투자하여 이 라운드를 이끌었다.
맥시멈 에포트라는 이름은 레이놀즈의 데드풀 캐릭터의 유행어에서 따온 것이다. 별도의 맥시멈 에포트 프로덕션 회사는 MNTN에 매각되지 않았으며 IPO의 일부도 아니다. 듀이는 맥시멈 에포트 마케팅의 최고 브랜드 책임자를 맡고 있다.
레이놀즈와 연결된 에비에이션 진(Aviation Gin)과 민트 모바일(Mint Mobile) 같은 회사들을 위한 광고를 제작해온 레이놀즈의 마케팅 회사는 잘 알려져 있습니다. 또한, 데이팅 회사인 매치닷컴(Match.com)을 위한 유명한 광고를 제작했으며, 이 광고에는 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KABSYzPqTTg">사탄이 등장</a>하고 테일러 스위프트의 히트곡 &#8220;러브 스토리(Love Story)&#8221; 리메이크 버전이 처음 공개되었다.
&#8220;저는 마케팅을 진심으로 사랑하며, 얼마나 재미있게 성장해왔는지에 놀랐다. 우리는 빠르게 움직이고, 재미있게 일하며, 정말 보람 있는 일을 계속할 수 있는 마케팅 부서의 미래를 원했다&#8221;라고 레이놀즈가 MNTN의 인수 당시 말했다.
레이놀즈는 MNTN의 단순함, 말투, 사전 계약을 지불할 수 없는 광고주들에게 TV 접근성을 열어주는 능력이 돋보였다고 언급했다.
&#8220;저는 우리 회사들의 조합이 1+1이 3이 되는 상황을 만들 것이라고 믿고 있다. 제 수학이 맞기를 바란다&#8221;고 레이놀즈가 그 당시 덧붙였다.

</ul>
왜 중요한가요 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 커넥티드 TV와 빠르고 눈길을 끌어야 하는 바이럴 광고의 세계에서 MNTN은 혼잡한 시장에서 두드러질 수 있다. 이 회사의 레이놀즈와의 연관성 및 그의 여러 회사들과 영화와의 연결은 향후 몇 년간 성장을 촉진하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다.
맥시멈 에포트 마케팅과 MNTN 외에도 레이놀즈는 영화를 넘어선 성공 스토리의 일환으로 여러 회사를 설립했다.
이 배우는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/03/31362824/ryan-reynolds-mobile-company-gets-1-35b-buyout-from-t-mobile-will-he-purchase-an-nhl-team-with-that">민트 모바일의 공동 소유자</a>였으며, 이는 T-모바일 US(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>)에 13억 5,000만 달러 가치로 매각되었다. 레이놀즈는 에비에이션 진에도 지분을 가지고 있었으며, 이는 2020년에 디아지오(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>)에 6억 1,000만 달러에매각되었다.
레이놀즈는 또한 렉섬(Wrexham) AFC <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38530584/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-buy-another-soccer-team-can-dynamic-duo-turn-around-mexico-clu" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">축구팀의 공동 소유자</a>이며, 멕시코 축구팀 네카사(Necaxa)의 지분과 리버티 미디어 코퍼레이션 포뮬러 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONA#NASDAQ">FWONA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FWONK#NASDAQ">FWONK</a>) 레이싱 팀의 지분을 소유하고 있다. 그는 또한 오타와 세터스(Ottawa Senators) NHL 팀 구매에 관심이 있었던 이전의 당사자 중 한 명이었다.
레이놀즈가 MNTN에 지분을 가지고 있는지는 알려지지 않았지만, 이 IPO는 최근 몇 년간 맥시멈 에포트 마케팅의 성공 덕분일 가능성이 높다. 이 IPO는 레이놀즈가 연기 외에도 거둔 성공을 더욱 부각시킬 수 있다.

배우 라이언 레이놀즈는 요즘 극장가에서 데드풀(Deadpool) 역할로 가장 잘 알려져 있다. 이 역할은 현재 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40003208/ryan-reynolds-hugh-jackman-starrer-deadpool-wolverine-breaks-box-office-records-rakes-in-ov">극장에서 상영 중</a>인 세 번째 프랜차이즈 영화로 거대 미디어인 월트 디즈니 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)의 기록을 세우는 역할이다.
"데드풀과 울버린"은 국내에서 5억 8,270만 달러, 해외에서 6억 3,480만 달러를 기록하여 이 글 작성 시점 기준으로 전 세계적으로 12억 2천만 달러를 벌어들였다.
이 영화는 여러 기록을 세웠으며, &#8220;R&#8221; 등급 영화로서의 여러 기록과 함께 디즈니의 2024년 박스오피스 성공을 높이는 데 기여했다.
그는 데드풀, 즉 &#8220;입이 거친 용병(merc with the mouth)&#8221; 역할로 잘 알려져 있지만, 레이놀즈는 또한 일련의 수십억 달러 규모의 기업들 덕분에 투자와 기업가 정신으로도 잘 알려져 있다.
회사를 세우다: 이전 트위터인 X에 올라온 한 스레드는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ryan-reynolds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">라이언 레이놀즈</a> 가 "10억대 브랜드의 신"이 될 수 있음을 강조한다.
팀 카든(Tim Carden)의 <a href="https://twitter.com/timjcarden/status/1772277477424971807?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">스레드</a>는 500만 뷰 이상을 기록하며 레이놀즈가 소유하거나 매각한 회사들 사이의 몇 가지 공통점을 지적한다.
카든은 레이놀즈가 기회를 찾고, 투자나 거래를 할 때 직접 비즈니스를 마케팅하며 종종 &#8220;해당 브랜드의 얼굴이 된다&#8221;고 언급했다. 레이놀즈는 제품 광고의 창작 과정에도 도움을 준다.
"라이언은 실행 가능한 기회를 보면 잡는다"고 카든이 말했다.
예를 들어 에비에이션 진(Aviation Gin)이 있다. 레이놀즈는 이 진을 맛보고 반해 투자하게 되었고, 그 브랜드의 얼굴이 되었다. 이후 에비에이션 진은 주류 대기업 디아지오 PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DEO#NYSE">DEO</a>)에 판매되어 이 배우에게 좋은 수익을 안겼다.
"많은 유명인들이 단순히 돈을 투자하고 물러나 있지만, 라이언은 운전석에 있다."
카든이 강조한 또 다른 예는 마케팅 회사 맥시멈 에포트(Maximum Effort)이다. 이 회사는 데드풀 영화의 광고를 도왔으며, 이 영화는 디즈니와 함께 공동 제작 중이다.
"라이언은 배우로서 카메라 앞에서의 강점을 알고 있으며, 자신의 강점을 활용한다."

</ul>
중요한 이유 (Why It's Important): 카든은 레이놀즈가 트렌드를 완벽하게 활용하는 방법을 알고 있고, 이 트렌드를 인식한 후 자신의 재능을 활용하는 방법을 알고 있다고 말했다.
레이놀즈는 리버티 미디어(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fwona" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for FWONA" data-google-interstitial="false">FWONA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fwonk" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for FWONK" data-google-interstitial="false">FWONK</a>) 포뮬러 1 모터 레이싱 팀에도 투자했다. 이는 스포츠 팀의 가치가 상승하고 있는 상황에서 이루어졌다.
배우는 또한 축구 팀을 소유하고 있으며 내셔널 하키 리그(NHL)의 오타와 세너터스(Ottawa Senator)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32174242/ryan-reynolds-senators-bid-may-be-dropped-like-its-hot-as-snoop-steps-up-in-next-episode-of" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">입찰자 중</a> 하나였다.
"라이언 레이놀즈는 단순한 배우 그 이상이다. 그는 또한 수십억 달러 규모의 브랜드를 구축하는 방법을 아는 정통한 연쇄 사업가이기도 하다. 그는 기회를 찾고, 비즈니스 마케팅에 개인적으로 참여하고, 자신의 개인 브랜드를 주입하며, 항상 움직이고 있다"고 카든이 말했다.
에비에이션 진이 매각된 것 외에도 레이놀즈의 또 다른 투자도 최근에 매각되었다. 민트 모바일(Mint Mobile)은 T-모바일 US (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)에 인수되었다.
에비에이션 진과 마찬가지로 레이놀즈는 투자 후 이 회사의 광고에도 출연했다.
맥시멈 에포트의 소유는 레이놀즈가 투자한 이 회사와 자신이 출연하는 영화의 광고를 빠르게 제작할 수 있게 도와준다. 이 조합은 레이놀즈가 투자자로서 또는 제품의 얼굴로 쉽게 인식될 수 있게 한다.
