It’s official: Victoria Beckham is officially rich. The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer and her soccer star-turned-sports mogul husband, David Beckham, were ranked second on the just-released 2026 Sunday Times Rich List, behind Formula One executive Bernie Ecclestone and his family. This year’s ranking officially pushes David Beckham into history as Britain’s first billionaire sportsman, but it’s Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, whose ranking is turning heads.
Keep reading to find out Victoria and David Beckham’s staggering net worth and how they made all that cash.
Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s Net Worth in 2026
The annual Sunday Times Rich List is out, revealing Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s combined estimated fortune of $1.58 billion. The Beckhams reportedly nearly doubled their estimated fortune from last year’s list, catapulting them nearly to the top behind the Formula One executive.
David Beckham’s soccer career and Victoria Beckham’s career as a pop star laid the foundation, but it’s the pair’s second acts that have sent their fortunes soaring. The couple’s billionaire status is now largely due to business investments and brand expansion.
How Victoria Beckham and David Beckham Made Their Fortune
So how did the Beckhams make all that money? David Beckham segued his career as one of the world’s most recognized soccer stars into team ownership. Beckham’s ownership stake in MLS franchise Inter Miami CF surged after signing soccer sensation Lionel Messi. David Beckham also signed a major licensing and branding partnership with Authentic Brands Group, reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the same group that helped NBA star Shaquille O’Neal take ownership stakes in companies like Reebok, leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in income.
The couple’s massive fortune has also been helped by Victoria Beckham’s luxury fashion and beauty business, which has evolved from a struggling high-fashion label into a globally recognized brand with revenues topping $100 million.
The couple’s endorsements, media projects, production ventures, expansive real estate holdings in London, Miami, and the English countryside, plus their investments in Miami property development, are also key drivers in their blossoming empire.
Rather than relying on the fortunes earned during their careers as celebrities, both David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have transitioned from celebrity fame into long-term business powerhouses in the sports, fashion, and media industries.
While “Posh and Becks” first made headlines 25 years ago for their over-the-top fashion moments and iconic status as pop culture icons, the Beckhams have outlasted the traditional celebrity cycle, evolving into cross-generational powerhouses whose success comes from business savvy rather than a reliance on nostalgia and fan culture.
