Brand Beckham stood firm during the pandemic, with showbiz couple David and Victoria scooping £8.1m in dividends in 2020. The latest figures released show that the former professional footballer's company, David Beckham Ventures, paid out the sum after reporting a profit for the year of £10.6m.
The company, which manages Beckham 's global brand, reported the £1.6m profits uplift from the previous year's £9m after signing several multi-million pound sponsorship deals, including link-ups with computer game group Electronic Arts, Adidas and gym chain F45. The profit was boosted by one of Beckham's other businesses, Seven Global, which manages contracts with perfume brand Coty and Italian eyewear maker Safilo. The £8.1m payout was lower than the £14.5m from the previous year.
Beckham, who was the first English player to win league titles in four countries: England, Spain, the United States and France, is also the current president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF and co-owner of Salford City.
