Royal Family No. 2? Beckhams are Richer Than the Queen
It seems that not all royalties are seen to be donning an actual crown or scepter. Perhaps some of them strut their days along fashion hallways, or may have been a professional athlete in the past and as for the younger ones? They may be featured and slathered with Burberry garments, top to bottom, as a lucrative past time.
The Beckhams may have no tangible crowns, but that does not mean they cannot surpass the British royal status, as financial experts estimate that they are worth more than the Queen herself.
Yahoo News reports that according to a research by the London School of Marketing, the entire Beckham family -- David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz -- has a staggering £470 million net worth or about $714 million. The British royal matriarch, who has been the Queen of all British islands for 62 years, is worth only £340 million pounds or $516 dollars.
Through a multitude of businesses in different industries, the Royal Family No. 2 makes about 30 to 40 million pounds annually, says a Daily Mail report.
Daily Mail also says that the family's ostentatious wealth can be attributed to David's Footwork Productions Ltd., the headman's company where all football-related incomes go, the Beckham Label, where the entire family's endorsement revenues are collated and the Beckham Venture, Victoria's fashion business.
Even as a retired football player, experts said in the Daily Mail report that David is continuously offered sports-related endorsements and rakes about 150 million pounds solely for it, excluding fashion-related endorsements, from high-end brands to mid-class ones.
Just recently, Time reports that David released yet another endorsement for H&M, which featured him in rather an unusual presentation, a hilarious one, with comedian Kevin Hart. How much the A-lister gentleman has made in his latest appearance is yet to be known.
Also, despite leaving the field of sports he loved, Daily Mail reports that David's departure from his football career has done well for the entire family name as the Beckham Label grew even more when he ended his sports career.
Meanwhile, the former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, Victoria, reportedly earns about 60 million pounds from her own fashion business which includes everything vogue - from apparel to accessories.
As for the kids, Brooklyn was seen as a media darling in the past months but how much the first-born earns is still unknown. Romeo, the second child of Posh and Becks, has been into an endorsement with Burberry last year and Daily Mail reports that the endorsement act has put him among the list of the highest paid models.
Yahoo says in a report that Cruz and Harper are yet to make a debut. How much more can the family earn when this happens?
The Beckham Label gathers up 70 million pound for the family's annual revenues and as for the household's non-business properties? An estimate of 190 million pounds. All these combined make up the family's overwhelming £470 million net worth.
