Former Manchester United star David Beckham has amassed millions since his professional debut and has also become a global icon off the pitch.

The sensational documentary about David and Victoria Beckham has been released on Netflix this morning. 

The four-episode documentary, titled Beckham, follows Posh and Becks in their personal and professional lives, going through their history together with interviews of the couple.

In the highly-anticipated documentary, the Englishman revealed he had to be held back from Sir Alex Ferguson during their infamous row in 2003 

after the legendary Scot kicked a boot at the ex-England captain. 

Mail Sport breaks down everything you need to know about David Beckham’s net worth and career earnings. 

What is his net worth?

The 48-year-old has an estimated net worth of £372million ($450m).

It is fair to say that the Englishman is a big presence on social media – having 86m followers on Instagram and 57m followers on Facebook.

He has over a dozen properties in his portfolio – including a luxurious penthouse in Miami which was bought for £17.15m.

The jaw-dropping pad in Miami is situated on the 59th floor of One Thousand Museum. He bought the property through his firm Beckham Brand Ltd when he was in the process of setting up Inter Miami.

The property features Miami’s first private helipad, five bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies overlooking the sea. 

Beckham and his wife Victoria have access to the tower’s double-level gym and spa, infinity pool and hair and beauty complex. 

Beckham’s Miami property, which was bough three years ago, is now valued at £22.6m.

Their Miami home is just part of the couple’s £70m international property portfolio. It also includes a £30m London townhouse and a £6m Cotswolds mansion.

What are his career earnings?

Beckham has made the majority of his money through football contracts. He was one of the higher-paid players during his career and, even in retirement, continues to cash in. 

After 11 seasons with Manchester United, during which he won six Premier League titles, he moved to Real Madrid – where he was offered around £30.8m ($42m) for his four seasons at the club.

Following his four year stint in Madrid, the former midfielder opted to sign for MLS giants Los Angeles Galaxy for a reported $250m (£179.3m) payout, roughly £23.3m ($32.5m) of which is said to have come from the team. 

Forbes reported that there was a revenue in his contract which meant he was able to earn additional income based on the team’s success.

During his time in America, the Englishman had two spells with Serie A giants AC Milan in 2009 and 2010.

In 2013, Beckham signed a five-month deal with Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain. He vowed to donate his rumoured £1 million ($1.3m) salary to children’s charities in Paris.

According to the Daily Mirror, by the time he retired, Beckham had earned £659m ($800m) on and off the field, making him the seventh highest-paid athlete ever at the time. 

Sponsorship deals

Even after retiring from football, it is fair to say that Beckham is still penning incredible endorsement deals. 

The British sensation has banked millions in commercial endorsements from sponsors including Adidas, Coty, H&M, Sainsbury’s, Samsung and his newest partner, Breitling, according to Forbes.

His deal with Adidas was inked in 2003, which was in the form of a lifetime contract – which is worth £132m ($160m). At the time of its signing, it was one of the largest endorsement deals in sports history.

It has also been reported that he has made over £247,000 ($300,000) as the ambassador of the Swiss luxury watch company Tudor – which he signed a deal in 2017.

He has also been the face of Haig Club scotch whisky for the last nine years, advertising the alcoholic drink in a slew of promotional campaigns. 

However, Beckham ended his partnership with the booze brand earlier this year, with all of the social media profiles set to inactive.

The Englishman signed a mega-money deal with the drinks company in 2014 but is now seeking to venture out into his own range of drinks.

A source told The Sun: ‘Haig confirmed that David wouldn’t be renewing his contract with them earlier this year.

‘It is now officially over and Haig is on the lookout for someone new.’

In 2014, David launched his own company DB Ventures – which handles his multiple sporting and fashion endorsements.

With a reported net worth of $450 million (£370 million), he’s thought to bring in a hefty sum each year with brand partnerships and his own ventures.

But last year, he sold 55% the company to Authentic Brands, the owner of Juicy Couture, for around £200m.

At the time, it was reported that the deal would help him to crack into the US with his financial ventures.
