David Beckham has made a staggering £28 million according to freshly filed accounts for the star. The former footballer, 49, raked in the cash from his media, fashion and sports empire following the success of his Beckham Netflix documentary, which also stars his wife, Victoria, 50.
Tax records revealed that David's business enterprises saw profits more than double last year. David Beckham Brands – which is 55% owned by US consumer giant Authentic Brands Group and 45% by the former England captain – saw sales improve in 2023.
DRBJ Holdings, the holding company combining all his brands, recorded turnover of $91.2 million (£72.3 million) for the year, up 2% on the previous year. The group includes David Beckham Ventures Limited, which comprises the majority of his brand partnership and licensing revenues, his Studio 99 media production outfit and his Seven Global LLP business.
It reported that David Beckham Ventures Limited saw profits grow by 17.9% amid the continued growth of his partnership with Authentic Brands. Studio 99 Group saw revenues grow to $15 million (£11.9 million) following the success of the production and release of the Beckham documentary series for Netflix in October last year.
The studio will also produce a new Victoria Beckham documentary series for the streaming giant, which was announced in August. DRBJ Holdings revealed that overall pre-tax profits leapt to $36.2 million (£28.7 million) from $16.2 million (£12.8 million) the previous year.
