As of 2026, David Beckham's net worth has not been publicly disclosed, and no figure has been officially verified by major financial authorities. Beckham’s income is derived primarily from his business ventures and brand partnerships.
His holding company, DRJB Holdings, which manages his personal brand licensing and media businesses, reported $44.9 million in profit in 2024. The company paid $52.5 million in dividends in 2023 and $23.2 million in 2024, with approximately $23.6 million in 2023 and $10.4 million in 2024 going to Beckham personally. In 2022, he sold a 55% stake in DRJB to Authentic Brands for £200 million while retaining a substantial ownership interest.
His commercial portfolio includes licensing and endorsement agreements with major global companies. For example, DB Ventures (a division of DRJB) generated $63.6 million in 2024 through collaborations with Hugo Boss and Safilo. More recent deals have added Stella Artois, SharkNinja, and Verizon to his portfolio.
He also maintains long-standing agreements with brands such as Adidas, and industry reports cite additional partnerships with H&M, Breitling, and Diageo’s Haig Club whisky. However, the specific salaries or fees associated with these brand deals have not been publicly disclosed.

Inter Miami Stake As A Major Wealth Driver
Beckham’s stake in Inter Miami CF is now one of the most valuable assets of his post-playing career. He became co-owner of the franchise at its founding in 2018, a culmination of his ambition to own a professional club.
Since Lionel Messi joined the team in 2023 the club’s financial picture has transformed: revenue jumped from about $56m to $200m, and Forbes notes Inter Miami is now the richest team in MLS. As co-owner (and Acting President of Soccer Operations) Beckham benefits from this growth industry estimates place the club’s total value at roughly $1.3–1.5 billion.
In practical terms, the club has started to deliver direct returns: Inter Miami won both the 2025 Club World Cup knockout prize ($21.1m) and the 2025 Leagues Cup, reinforcing its earnings, and Beckham’s share of the club (though minority) underpins a large portion of his net worth in sports ownership.
Dividend Payouts From Beckham’s Private Holding Companies
Central to Beckham’s financial structure is DRJB Holdings, the private company through which he manages brand licensing and media ventures. In 2024 DRJB Holdings recorded $44.9m in pre-tax profit (a 44% increase year-on-year) and paid out $52.5m in dividends to shareholders that year.
Beckham himself received about $23.6m from those 2024 dividends (over £18m), and the company followed with another $23.2m dividend in early 2025, of which roughly $10.4m went to him. Over the past two years these dividend payments have in total delivered well over $30m to Beckham from DRJB, exceeding even the £25m Real Madrid once paid for his transfer in 2003.
The bulk of DRJB’s profits derive from two divisions: “DB Ventures” (brand partnerships) and “The Seven Global” (licensing). For example, DB Ventures which handles partnerships with fashion and consumer brands generated $63.6m revenue in 2024, working with names like Hugo Boss and Safilo (eyewear). These consistent profits and dividend flows from his companies are a key income stream outside of any salary or match fees.
Eyewear And Fragrance Royalties Through Global Licences
Beckham’s income also comes from long-term licensing deals on his name and likeness in products. A major element is an ongoing eyewear licence: since 2006 the Italian manufacturer Safilo has produced David Beckham eyewear collections worldwide.
Safilo’s contribution managed under his DB Ventures division helped the business unit report $63.6m in 2024 revenue. In fragrances, Beckham signed a landmark 20-year global licence with Interparfums (announced early 2026) to develop and distribute his branded scent lines.
Interparfums plans to expand his existing fragrance collection and launch a new signature scent by 2029, projecting over $50m in annual sales in the early years of the deal. These long-term agreements (on eyewear, fragrances and similar consumer products) generate royalty payments to Beckham’s company and therefore to him personally, contributing steady income that complements one-off deals.
Endorsement Income From Tudor, BOSS And Maserati
On top of licensing, Beckham earns lucrative fees as a brand ambassador and model for luxury and consumer brands. Since retiring he has served as an official global brand ambassador for Tudor watches and Hugo Boss fashion, among others.
He frequently appears in high-profile advertising campaigns for these partners (for example, shooting new Tudor watch promotions in 2025 and leading Hugo Boss menswear lines). In the automotive sector, Beckham is signed as the global face of Maserati a relationship announced in 2021.
In the first Maserati commercial he starred in, Beckham’s persona was featured in a short film unveiling the Levante Trofeo SUV. These endorsement deals typically run multi-year terms and pay Beckham in the millions, bolstering his earnings well beyond pure sports revenue.
Studio 99 Revenues From Documentaries And Branded Content
In 2019 Beckham expanded into media by founding Studio 99, a content production studio that he controls. Studio 99 handles both factual documentaries and commercial projects.
Notably, it produced the Netflix series Beckham(released 2024), which became one of Netflix’s top-ten shows globally and even won an Emmy Award. The studio also creates branded content for major clients; for example, it co-produced a Disney+ series Save Our Squadand has made commercial films for Nespresso and Maserati.
Studio 99’s productions generate revenue through streaming rights, broadcast deals and advertising budgets. Although the studio’s financials are private, its high-profile output (including a Victoria Beckham Netflix documentary forthcoming in 2026) confirms it as a new income source.
Prime Property Across Miami, London And The Cotswolds
Beckham’s wealth also encompasses an extensive real estate portfolio. In Miami he owns high-end residences: in 2024 he paid about $72.25 million for a new waterfront mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay, and he owns a luxury penthouse in the One Thousand Museum tower (purchased for roughly $24m in 2020).
In London his family’s main home is a grand Holland Park mansion; they bought that Grade II–listed villa for £31.5m in 2013 and completed an £8m renovation by 2016. The Beckhams also maintain a countryside estate in England’s Cotswolds a converted 10-acre farm near Chipping Norton which they acquired for £6.15m in 2016.
These prime properties serve both as residences and investments. In particular, the Miami and London homes reflect Beckham’s international profile: they appreciate in value with their high-demand locations.
While these assets are not part of Beckham’s operating businesses, they contribute to his wealth and occasionally produce returns (for example, via occasional rental or sale of old properties).
BEEUP And IM8 As Beckham’s Newest Earnings Levers
Most recently, Beckham has launched consumer products to open new revenue streams. In June 2025 he co-founded BEEUP, a honey-based fruit snack line for active kids sold exclusively at Target stores.
The brand powered by his personal interest in beekeeping is marketed as a healthy energy snack and represents Beckham’s entry into the food sector. Around the same time he became a strategic investor and co-founder of IM8, a wellness supplement company.
In late 2024 Beckham partnered with Nasdaq-listed Prenetics to launch IM8’s premium vitamin powders and capsules. As co-founding partner of IM8, he helped develop and promote the products (which address daily nutrition and healthy aging) to a global market.
Both BEEUP and IM8 illustrate Beckham’s strategy of diversifying beyond traditional endorsements: these ventures offer him equity stakes and sales-linked revenues, potentially yielding long-term profits if the brands scale successfully.
Through these varied roles club owner, licensor, ambassador, producer and investor David Beckham has built an authoritative commercial footprint since retiring from football. His current titles (from Inter Miami president to snack-brand co-founder) and the millions of pounds flowing in from dividends, royalties, endorsements and property reflect a career arc that extends far beyond the playing field.
Each new partnership and project leverages his fame and business acumen, establishing Beckham as a multi-faceted entrepreneur with an enduring impact on the global sports and lifestyle industries.
