David Beckham, once the highest-paid footballer in the world, has built a staggering £425 million fortune alongside wife Victoria, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. The 48-year-old former England captain's wealth now stems largely from post-retirement ventures, including brand deals, property, and his own football club.
Beckham's commercial earnings now dwarf his playing salary. He signed a lifetime Adidas sponsorship reportedly worth £115 million, and has deals with Pepsi, H&M, Vodafone, Samsung, Gillette, and Sainsbury's. He also earned an estimated £20 million for his Emporio Armani underwear campaign. In 2022, US firm Authentic Brands paid £200 million for a 55% stake in his management company, DB Ventures.
In 2018, Beckham co-founded Inter Miami FC, owning 10% of the club, now valued at nearly £500 million—a figure expected to rise after Lionel Messi's signing. He also earns around £3 million annually as co-owner of Guild Esports. The Beckhams own a property portfolio and a £5 million superyacht named Seven.
A new Netflix documentary, Beckham, offers a glimpse into their luxury lifestyle and addresses past controversies, including David's rumoured affair with Rebecca Loos. Despite criticism over his £125 million Qatar World Cup deal, Brand Beckham remains untarnished.
