Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham AFC, a tiny Welsh football club, for about £2m (€2.38m) back in 2021. It’s now worth around £100m (€119m).

The new valuation follows the purchase in recent months of a near-15% stake by the Allyn family from New York, according to people familiar with the situation. The Allyns, who made their fortune in medical devices, made a series of share purchases at a valuation that’s about 50 times higher than when the actors took over the clu.
