What has David Beckham been up to since his retirement from football? He co-owns Inter Miami FC, makes millions from his Netflix docu and brand deals – and has a happy family with Victoria Beckham
- The British footballer has played for clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, and is responsible for the cultural phenomenon of ‘bend it like Beckham’ – also a 2002 film with Keira Knightley
- He’s a doting father to his 4 children and the husband to Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, with whom he shares a US$514 million reported net worth – and a US$15 million Cotswold mansion
Known as one of the greatest footballers of all time, David Beckham won 19 major trophies during his career on the pitch. Thanks to his signature kick, the midfield player even turned the phrase “bend it like Beckham” – referring to his curling technique – into a cultural phenomenon, including a 2002 film starring Keira Knightley.
Here’s what he’s been up to since.
David Beckham is worth an impressive US$450 million
According to British media, Beckham, 48, was the seventh highest-paid athlete ever at the time of his retirement. Fortunately, the Beckham brand is still going strong even without his football millions.
Today, Becks has an impressive net worth of US$450 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. (Once his wife, former Spice Girl and now fashion designer Victoria Beckham, enters the picture, their combined net worth jumps to US$514 million, per Business Insider.)
With multiple investments, business ventures and endorsements since retiring, that amount will undoubtedly increase in years to come.
He’s president of Inter Miami FC
After Beckham’s retirement, it came as no surprise when the former footballer stayed in the sport – albeit in a more managerial role.
