Geri Horner is still cashing it in from her Spice Girls days as she banks £860,000 in a year through girl group

Geri Horner is still profiting from her years as Ginger Spice, almost three decades after she quit the Spice Girls in 1998.

The singer, 52, has several profitable business ventures alongside her husband Christian Horner, including a race horse company, real estate investments and as a children’s author.

However, even without those incomes, the pop star is still sitting pretty, as new accounts filings reveal she made more than £860,000 last year though her former band.

Geri’s company, Wonderful Productions, was set up to receive income from the Spice Girls, and according to the latest published accounts, has reported an £862,312 profit for the 12 months up to August 2024.

This takes the accumulated earnings held by the mum-of-two in the business to a staggering £2.16 million.

Geri created Wonderful Productions in 1997 – originally under the name Firecracker Productions Limited – at the height of the Spice Girls’ fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals.

She later set up Falcon Queen Productions in May 2021 to provide ‘business support activities’, of which she is the director and sole employee and controls via Wonderful Productions, which owns all the shares.

Despite the enduring love of the 90s girl group however, the business has seen its finances go up and down over the years.

MailOnline revealed in February last year that it was a very different story for Geri, with accounts for Wonderful Productions showing she made a loss in 2023 of £77,994.

While Falcon Queen Limited also made losses of £75,521 and plunged £276,000 into the red.

However, the year prior had seen Geri enjoy a £762,240 payout from the company, while in 2020 she paid herself more than £1 million and in 2019 the business was worth £3 million.

It comes after it was revealed that her already staggering wealth was only getting bigger, after her horseracing empire enjoyed a bumper year.

Geri and husband Christian, 51, set up their racehorse owning company, OMBI, back in 2021, with the musician and the Red Bull F1 team principal splitting ownership evenly.

And in September, the latest published accounts were revealed to show that after a £600,000 spending spree in 2023, the business’ earnings were tripled.

The documents revealed that the couple forked out £137,000 on biological ᴀssets, £280,000 on buildings and £187,000 on motor vehicles to take ᴀssets held to just under £1million.

Their investment was seen to have paid off, as OMBI made a profit, with retained earnings after bills climbing to £220,000 from £69,000 the year before.

Geri and Christian own a number of race horses, which they have all renamed with тιтles from tracks from Geri’s solo career, including Look at Mee, Lift Me Up, Mi Chico Latino and It’s Raining Men.

All of the couple’s horses run under the ‘GHR’ banner, which stands for Geri Horner Racing.

The pair also finished work in 2023 on a 14-horse stable, which includes two foaling stalls, at their Oxfordshire home – despite sparking complaints from their neighbours.

Speaking about his love for horse racing, Christin told the The Telegraph it was ‘just a bit of fun’ and admitted it was ‘bit of escapism away from the madness of F1’.

He added: ‘We don’t really know what we’re doing but it’s exciting. It’s something Geri and I both get a kick out of and something we enjoy as a family.’

Geri is also working to take her Rosie Frost trilogy to the big screen, after turning to writing in 2007 and publishing of children’s and young adult novels.

Last month, The Sun reported she is in talks with film bosses about a movie adaptation of her books, as a consultant.

An insider said: ‘Geri has had meetings with film bosses over the past month and there have been serious discussions about bringing her book trilogy to the big screen.

‘They see real promise in the stories and believe a movie adaptation is a real possibility.

‘If a deal is struck, Geri would act as a consultant, she won’t be involved in the actual making of the movies as she’s happy to leave that to the experts – but it’s certainly an exciting time for her.’
