Soccer players are some of the richest men on the planet, earning millions upon millions. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi regularly top the list of the richest athletes in the world.
It is no surprise that their wives and girlfriends also make money on the side, due to their passion or necessity. Victoria Beckham is one such woman who has established herself as one of the richest women in the world of soccer.
Victoria Beckham claims throne as richest footballer’s partner
Recently, a study from the Gambling Zone tried to find out which WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of soccer players have the most wealth. The list included many women, including the wives and girlfriends of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Sergio Ramos, among others.
However, at the top is a very surprising contender, and that is Victoria Beckham, wife of the famous David Beckham. With a net worth of £55 million, the British woman is one of the richest women in the world and the richest WAG in soccer.
However, while being associated with a figure like David Beckham may have helped her amass this fortune, she is also an independent woman. Being born into wealth, Victoria has been active economically from a young age. For the early years of her career, she was a successful singer, first as part of the iconic Spice Girls band and later on her own.
She then made her foray into fashion, first as a model and then as a designer. She soon released her own fashion label by her own name, which is one of the most famous in the world. Just weeks earlier, she made headlines during the Paris Fashion Week.
Who is richer between David or Victoria Beckham?
However, the question arises: who is richer in the relationship between Victoria and David Beckham? But there is a clear winner in this, with David Beckham miles ahead of his successful wife.
While Victoria is worth around £55 million, David is worth a mind-boggling £355 million, according to The Economic Times. David has played for some of the biggest teams in the world, like Manchester United and Real Madrid, earning millions in salary. He was once one of the most fashionable and great soccer players.
Furthermore, the Englishman has lucrative brand deals with Armani, Adidas, and other famous brands. Recently, his stake in Inter Miami increased due to the arrival of Lionel Messi. He is expected to become even richer due to that, along with his massive real estate portfolio.
So, Victoria Beckham has to do more if she wants to reach the levels of her husband one day, which keep on increasing day by day.
