David and Victoria Beckham reach billionaire status in 2026 Sunday Times rich list

According to the 2026 Sunday Times rich list, David and Victoria Beckham have reached a combined net worth of 1.185 billion pounds. This marks David Beckham as the first British athlete to achieve billionaire status. The couple's wealth grew significantly from an estimated 500 million pounds the previous year, driven by investments in football, fashion, real estate, and beverage brands. A primary factor in this growth is David Beckham's co-ownership of the MLS club Inter Miami, valued at approximately 1.07 billion pounds, which currently features star player Lionel Messi. Additionally, Victoria Beckham's eponymous fashion brand reported revenue exceeding 100 million pounds this year. The Beckhams rank second on the Sunday Times list for sports figures, behind the family of Bernie Ecclestone. Beyond financial matters, the family has recently been the subject of public interest regarding internal disputes involving their son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
