Ashton Kutcher's investments

The Ranch star has made several successful investments through his venture capital firms, A-Grade Investments and Sound Ventures. He co-founded A-Grade in 2010 alongside entertainment manager Guy Oseary. In 2015, the business partners co-founded Sound Ventures to invest in fintech and tech start-ups.

The actor has been part of the digital currency revolution since 2013. His wife, Mila Kunis, said during her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that she thought her husband's decision to invest in Bitcoin was horrible when he first talked to her about the idea. 

He's like, 'There's this thing, it's like mining for money. It's called cryptocurrency'. I was like, 'Well, I think this is a horrible idea'. And he went, 'Cool, we're investing in it'...So he didn't listen to me... I've never been happier to be wrong.
