Beckham brand holdings, co-owned by David, Victoria, and Simon Fuller, turn over $341 million. This company protects Becks’ image rights and also owns victoria’s fashion business.

Other than this, he has a separate company, ‘DB ventures,’ that handles his endorsement deals. This brand has made a profit of more than 100 million dollars.

He also owns the majority of the brand ‘Kent & Curwen.’

For superstars like Beckham, another source of revenue is generally their social media. With 66 million followers on Instagram and 54 million of them on Facebook, we can only imagine how much he raises from his social platforms.
