The Beckhams have doubled their combined fortune from £500 million a year ago, according to the Evening Standard.
Sir David's career in football has contributed significantly to his wealth alongside business ventures away from the pitch. David earned millions through commercial deals with brands like Adidas and H&M during his playing days. These same partnerships continue post-retirement, generating additional income for him and Victoria. The couple co-owns Inter Miami and Salford City, both of which have been profitable enterprises in their own right.
"Sir David's wealth is second only to Bernie Ecclestone among the world’s wealthiest sportspeople," according to The Mirror. His stake in LA Galaxy has become immensely valuable over time, with his share now worth around £900 million. Additionally, Sir David retains an option on buying a Major League Soccer expansion team for £18.5 million.
