The Beckhams’ staggering fortune was revealed this week.

Almost 30 years after the Posh and Becks brand was launched, and a number of career pivots later, the couple have amᴀssed an astonishing combined wealth of £500million. 

The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer and ex footballer turned MLS club owner, brand ambᴀssador, farmer and bee keeper have seen their joint bank balance skyrocket by £45million between 2024-2025.

The incredible speed of their wealth increase is also proven by the fact that the couple debuted on the rich list in 2002 with a net worth of £35million, just five years after getting together.

Victoria, 51, and David, 50, have amᴀssed their wealth over their years through their respective careers, with both continuing to rake in the cash even after retiring from football and singing.

David has been the face of numerous brands and advertising campaigns, having teamed up with the likes of Adidas, BOSS, Haig, Armani and Maserati to name a few, in addition to his own brands.

The Beckhams’ staggering fortune was revealed this week. Almost 30 years after the Posh and Becks brand was launched the couple have amᴀssed a combined wealth of £500million

He also continues to be a big face in the footballing world and is one of the co-owners of Inter Miami football club.

Meanwhile, Victoria’s eponymous fashion label continues to go from strength-to-strength after its shaky start.

Both Victoria and David kick started their money-making moves early. 

Victoria was part of one of the most merchandised pop groups in history, with the Spice Girls setting the precedent for marketing and music tie-ins when they applied for 100 trademarks and signed sponsorship deals worth £300million in 1997,  just a year after the release of Wannabe.

David meanwhile was fully immersed in the lucrative world of football by the time he fell in love with his Spice Girl wife. 

He once said ‘my career has never been about the money, wherever I’ve gone I played the sport as I love it,’ but whether he has chased the cash or not, his unique bankability as a footballer pin-up with a popstar partner has seen his fortune surpᴀss that of any of his peers. 

In 2001 he signed a £16million contract to remain with Manchester United before a £25million deal with Real Madrid two years later.

His most savvy deal came in 2007 though with his history-making signing with LA Galaxy, which netted him £128million over five years, equating to £25.6m each year, £492,307 a week and £2,930 per hour.

Before the ink dried, amid months of rumours about his move to MLS, analysts pointed out that the superstar player would have to take a 70 per cent pay cut thanks to MLS players’ annual salary cap of $2.1 million.

But with the help of his then-manager Simon Fuller, Beckham’s signing kicked off the Designated Player Rule which allows certain players to sign lucrative deals.

It meant Galaxy could bring Beckham to the States and the likes of Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and David Villa all followed.

During his mid noughties playing years, David scored off the pitch too, negotiating lucrative commercial tie-ups worth £100m with the likes of Adidas, Pepsi and Coty.

Meanwhile Victoria was working on her future away from the Spice Girls.

In 2008 she launched her eponymous fashion collection, starting with a collection of just 10 bodycon dresses. The line was not an instant success though, in fact it would take 14 years before the company was in the black. 

In 2021, post-Covid, auditors warned of ‘significant doubt’ about Victoria’s fashion business’ ability to continue operating when debts of £46million were reported.

The luxury label had at that point borrowed more than £30million from other parts of the Beckham business empire.

The success of Victoria’s beauty line, which launched in 2019 and made £2million in its first three months, greatly contributed toward the profits of the business in recent years

Without further financial support from shareholders, which include the Beckhams and private equity firm Neo Investment Partners, auditors said it would go bust.

The following year though there was a turnaround, with accounts showing Victoria’s business was finally £200,000 in the black.

The success of Victoria’s beauty line, which launched in 2019 and made £2million in its first three months, greatly contributed toward the profit. 

A carefully orchestrated social media strategy which saw the Spice Girl post make-up tutorial videos on TikTok watched by millions, combined with huge sales in her accessories line meant her career pivot was finally a success story.

David saw his own career shift in 2013 when he retired from football. But he has far from retired into the the Good Life on his Cotswolds farm. 

In 2013 he raked in £49million through brand endorsements, whilst three years later he was estimated to be making £71,000 a day.  

In 2022 came a major move as David sold 55 per cent of his business empire DB Brands to buyout group Authentic Brands.

This deal earnred him £160m in cash plus Authentic shares worth £80m – with his remaining 45 per cent stake in DB Brands valued at £200m.

David’s biggest future payout will surely come from his Inter Miami team, which is estimated to be worth $1.2billion, 50 times what he paid in 2014.

Authentic Brands owns retailers such as Reebok and Barneys New York, and the rights to iconic stars including Elvis Presley and Shaquille O’Neal.

His next move is into TV with the huge success of his 2023 Netflix documentary which was the most watched documentary on the streaming service that year. 

David has also recently invested in supplement business IM8 and is co-designing collections with Hugo Boss.

The biggest future payout though will surely come from his Inter Miami team, which is estimated to be worth $1.2billion, 50 times what he paid in 2014. He holds a 26 per cent stake, worth $312million.

Victoria meanwhile has her own Netflix show in production, through the couple’s production company, whilst her fashion business has continued to post profits.   

The Beckham’s current wealth falls shortly behind that of King Charles, who is said to be worth £640million but analysts have predicted that the couple could soon soar to dizzying new heights.

If the Beckhams managed to grow their wealth at an investment industry standard rate of 6 per cent annually, it would reach £1billion in just under 12 years, according to This is Money’s saving and investing calculator.
