What is David Beckham's net worth?
What’s David Beckham’s net worth? According to the Sunday Times Rich List, David Beckham, combined with his wife Victoria, has a net worth of £425 million ($514 million).
Outside of football, Beckham recently made a deal with Qatar to become the face of tourism in 2022. The 10-year deal made Beckham earn $177 million, but was heavily criticized due to Qatar’s human rights violations.
In an interview with the Telegraph, Beckham defended his decision: “I do a lot of research into partners that I’m going into business with. And I wanted to be involved in another World Cup. I like to see the game grow, and that means it going into territories it hasn’t been in before.” He continued, “My philosophy has always been that you don’t exclude people, because if you don’t engage and you don’t give people the opportunity, then the world doesn’t change. Engagement with that, for me, is more important than dismissing it.”
In 2014, Beckham founded DB Ventures which helps layout his plans for brand deals after football retirement like H&M, Adidas, Diageo, and L’Oreal. DB Ventures also controls his endorsement deals with Tudor watches and Haig, a whiskey company. In 2022, it was reported that David Beckham was selling a 55% stake in his management business to Authentic Brands Group (ABG).
When joining FLS in 2007, Beckham received an option to purchase an expansion team at a price of $25 million. That dream came true in 2018 when Inter Miami was established and Beckham was one of the co-owners of the team alongside Jorge and Jose Mas.
In summer 2023, the team signed Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi which helped boost the team’s reputation. Beckham recalled that signing Messi was more emotional “than it should have been,’ Beckham said on the Stick it to Football podcast. ‘Just because for the last 10 years to try and get this team up and running in Miami, there’s been so many obstacles, so many challenges, and sometimes it looked like it wasn’t going to happen, and then obviously everything came together once I found the right partners in Miami.” Messi is reported to be earning a salary of $50-60 million a year with the two year deal.
