by

David Beckham has just scored another major goal. 

David Beckham has become the first British athlete to reach a net worth of over $1 billion. According to The Sunday Times Rich List, published on May 15th, Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham, are now worth an estimated $1.6 billion, having increased their wealth by over $600 million in the past year.

David and Victoria Beckham, parents to Brooklyn (27), Romeo (23), Cruz (21), and Harper (14), have amassed considerable wealth throughout their careers. However, according to the Times, they currently rank second on the list of wealthiest figures in sports, trailing Bernie Ecclestone, the former Formula One executive, who has a net worth of approximately $2.7 billion.

David and Victoria’s enormous wealth comes from their extremely diversified portfolio. 

After retiring from professional soccer in 2013, the 51-year-old became a successful owner of soccer franchises. He invested in Inter Miami in 2018, currently owning 26% of the club, and saw a significant increase in earnings when Lionel Messi joined the team in 2023.

Victoria Beckham has been steadily expanding her fashion business since launching her brand in 2008, and it’s become increasingly profitable. Recent estimates from Reuters suggest the company could be worth around $700 million if she decided to sell it, a possibility given her history with the Spice Girls.

David and Victoria Beckham recently joined the ranks of billionaires, a club Taylor Swift entered in October 2023 thanks to the success of her Eras Tour. Swift has since increased her wealth, and Forbes now estimates her total net worth at $2 billion.

Interestingly, the singer of “Karma” is the wealthiest musician who made her fortune mainly through her music, rather than other ventures.

Since launching her makeup brand, Rare Beauty, in 2019, Selena Gomez’s wealth has grown significantly. Estimates of her net worth vary, but Forbes puts it around $700 million, while Bloomberg suggests it’s exceeded $1 billion.

You know, I’ve always admired her honesty, and I loved what she shared with Entertainment Tonight at the New York Film Festival last year. She said she’s never been comfortable discussing finances, but she immediately turned the focus to her fans.

Okay, so Jami Gertz is amazing, right? I mean, she’s been in everything – I loved her in Square Pegs, and of course Sixteen Candles, Lost Boys, even Twister! But honestly? The coolest thing about her isn’t even her acting. It’s what she and her husband, Tony Ressler, did – they bought the Atlanta Hawks! Seriously, in 2015! It’s just… incredible. It’s the best investment ever, and I’m totally obsessed with it!

Despite the common assumption that she married a wealthy man – Ressler has a net worth exceeding $10 billion – she explained to The Hollywood Reporter in 2018 that she was actually the wealthier one when they met.

Tyler Perry remembers a time when Hollywood wasn’t interested in his work, as he told Variety in 2019 when discussing the film adaptation of his play, Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Now, he’s receiving many offers. Because he owns all rights to his creations – writing, producing, and starring in them – the creator of the Madea films has built a $1.4 billion business.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has likely gone through several financial advisors over the years.

He launched Magic Johnson Enterprises, and it’s become a hugely successful investment firm. We’re talking major ownership in teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Commanders, plus a stake in popular restaurant chains like T.G.I. Friday’s and Burger King. It’s estimated to be worth between $1 and $1.5 billion – a true testament to smart investing and building a lasting legacy!

Michael Jordan, widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, is also a billionaire, according to Forbes’ 2026 list.

LeBron James has earned an estimated $500 million from his successful basketball career with teams like the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers.

Okay, so everyone knows Ashton Kutcher as an actor from shows like That ’70s Show, but honestly, his smartest move was becoming an investor.

That’s where he really made his fortune, far beyond anything he earned from acting!

It was confirmed in September 2024 when they sold part of The Row, and honestly, I knew they’d make it this big. I’m so proud and excited for everything they’re doing!
