David and Victoria Beckham’s combined net worth is an estimated $1.58 billion, according to The Sunday Times’ Rich List 2026 released Friday.
The couple, who have four children, reportedly doubled their net worth from last year, when they were worth an estimated $666 million.
The staggering new total crowns David, 51, as the first British billionaire athlete.
He and Victoria, 52, are the second-richest sportspeople on the list, behind Formula One founder Bernie Ecclestone, who is worth $2.66 billion.
The soccer star’s huge profit over the last year primarily came from his role as investor in the MLS team Inter Miami CF.
His 26 percent stake of the organization is worth close to $400 million, a number that reportedly shot up after the team signed Lionel Messi in 2023.
David and Victoria also made earnings from their real estate investments, includes their nearly $80 million home in Miami, $66 million residence in Holland Park, London, and $26 million estate in Great Tew, a village close to the Cotswold Hills in England.
The couple also own a superyacht worth more than $20 million, the outlet noted.
Additionally, David has multiple businesses, from wellness brand IM8 to healthy kids’ snacks brand Beeup.
In his younger years, David made hundreds of millions from his two-decades playing soccer and scoring partnerships with brands like Adidas and H&M.
Victoria, meanwhile, got rich from being in the Spice Girls and founding her eponymous fashion empire in 2008.
Reuters reported last year that the fashion label was valued at around $700 million.
Author and media consultant Andy Milligan, who wrote the 2024 book “Bend It Like Beckham” analyzing David’s cultural impact, told the Sunday Times the couple “always had a long-term ambitious strategy” beyond David’s soccer career and Victoria’s music career.
“They had identified those areas where they were going to develop over time,” Milligan explained to the outlet. “But what they were also really savvy about was getting the commercial structures in place to monetize them.”
Milligan also commended the Beckhams for dominating in business by “getting exceptionally good advice along the way and being really savvy enough to take it.”
“These are two people both from backgrounds where hard work was valued, who have been determined to make the most of the talents they were given,” he stated.
David and Victoria’s massive net worth, notably, is identical to that of their estranged son Brooklyn Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz’s parents, Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner Peltz.
