POSH DOSH David and Victoria Beckham bagged £8.1M from their business interests last year
DAVID and Victoria Beckham bagged £8.1million from their business interests last year, latest accounts reveal.
Beckham Brand Holdings Ltd more than doubled sales from £11.4million to £34.3million in 2021.
Pre-tax profits rose 66 per cent from £14.2million to £23.6million.
It paid out £6.3million to ex-England captain David, 47, and fashion designer Victoria, 48, plus £1.8million on top.
It benefited from David’s DB Ventures signing deal last year with car brand Maserati, EA Sports and currency broker GEMFOREX.
The former footballer was forced to defend his £150 million deal to be the face of the World Cup in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal.
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham Limited, which has never made a profit, reduced its losses in the year to December 2021.
The denim brand was merged with the luxury Victoria Beckham line.
The business said that it had “double digit” sales growth and said that this year would be even stronger after launching more leather handbags, beauty products and a popular fashion show for next year’s Spring and Summer collection.
Marie LeBlanc, who was brought on by Victoria as chief executive in 2019, said: “2021 saw the successful turnaround of Victoria Beckham Limited and 2022 is set to be an even stronger year.”
