Millionaire Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of Sir David and Victoria Beckham, has revealed that he hasn't worked in five years. The 27-year-old influencer and aspiring chef made the confession while discussing his latest business venture.
Brooklyn married actress Nicola Peltz Beckham, 31, in 2022. She is the daughter of American billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, whose personal net worth is estimated at around $1.5 billion (£1.12 billion). Adding to their fortune, Brooklyn's parents have amassed a combined wealth of approximately £1.185 billion from their successful careers in music and sport.
Brooklyn, whose personal net worth is believed to be around $10 million (£7.48 million), has tried various careers, including photography and modelling. However, he is now fully focused on his hot sauce brand, Cloud23, which he launched in 2024.
Speaking at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Monday, Brooklyn said: "Four years ago I was trying to work out what I wanted to do with my life, what I wanted to do for work. Basically my wife and I got really drunk in our apartment while making hot sauce. I watched a short little video on how to make it and the next day I tried it again. I really wanted to see what I could create."
He added: "I'm always calling the CEO on Sunday at 10pm with a crazy idea of what direction we might go in or a condiment idea. I'll call with a ridiculous idea. I can come across as annoying sometimes."
Brooklyn has faced backlash for some of his enthusiastic cooking videos on social media. One video showed him preparing almond milk with what critics called "enough vanilla extract to kill a man." Another featured a "raw" beef dish as part of a "Michelin-style" Sunday roast, which divided audiences.
His former series "Cookin' With Brooklyn" also sparked controversy in 2022 when it was revealed that an eight-minute episode cost $100,000 (£74,800) to produce and employed a crew of 62 people.
