All eyes are on newlyweds Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz of late, with the couple giving major Posh and Becks vibes in Beverly Hills.

The 23-year-old son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham can often be found zooming around in a red McLaren P1, thought to be worth around $1.2million (£992,000) – prompting TikTok star Daniel Mac to ask what he does for a living to be able to afford such a luxury.

And now everyone is wondering what job the celebrity son actually has.

Here is everything you need to know.

What does Brooklyn Beckham do for a living?

As the eldest son of the former footballer and Spice Girl-turned-fashion-designer, Brooklyn has dipped his toes into various industries, from becoming his dad’s mini-me as a teen footballer, to copying his mum with a modelling career.

Having begun following in Victoria’s footsteps since 2014, Brooklyn appeared in editorials and covers for Vogue China, Miss Vogue, and The New York Times Style Magazine.

As well as the cover art of international publications, he became a brand ambassador for Huawei with their Honor 8 smartphone line, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Karlie Kloss, and Henry Cavill.

In 2016, aged 16, Brooklyn decided to swap posing in front of the camera to taking control of the lens, and photographed a campaign for Burberry BRIT, which was met with widespread criticism as some people in the industry branded his appointment nepotism.

A year later, he announced he would be attending Parsons School of Design in New York for a photography degree, and published his first book of photography, titled What I See, shortly after.

Fans weren’t too impressed by his photography, and Brooklyn faced a lot of backlash for some of the images featured in the collection.

One of his pictures, of an elephant taken in the wild, went viral and faced a lot of online mockery.

Brooklyn had captioned the picture: ‘elephants in kenya. so hard to photograph, but incredible to see.’

Other pictures and captions in his collection were also slammed by people online, with many mocking the blurry pictures.

Now, with the rise of TikTok and an impressive social media following, Brooklyn’s taken to sharing cooking clips and pursuing a professional career as a chef.

He even teamed up with Messenger for an eight-episode series titled Cookin’ With Brooklyn, following his journey to become a chef.

However, he faced heavy criticism after it was revealed that one episode of the show in which he made a sandwich reportedly cost $100,000 (£74,000) to make.

The eight-minute show also had a reported crew of 62 people to film him making a bagel sandwich with coleslaw, a hash brown and fried sea bream.

In the show’s trailer, Brooklyn says: ‘My name is Brooklyn Beckham and I just love to cook… I am not a chef yet, this is the very start of my food journey.’

He continues: ‘I love making food for the people that I love and for the people I enjoy hanging out with.

‘I’m going to work my a**e off and see where I get, I’m getting goosebumps about it, I’m so excited.’

From his culinary career, heir to the Posh and Becks throne, and being a social media personality, Brooklyn’s net worth is reportedly $10million (£7.6million).

The question of where he gets his money recently trended on TikTok after influencer Daniel Mac stopped him while in a McLaren supercar for one of Mac’s popular career videos.

Approaching the sports car for his video, Mac asked: ‘Hey man, what do you do for a living? Your car’s awesome.’

Recognising the social media star, Brooklyn responded: ‘Oh my god, I know you’ before pausing and adding: ‘I’m a chef.’

Who is his wife Nicola Peltz?

Brooklyn’s lavish background is minor compared to that of his wife, the daughter of a billionaire whose net worth is reported to be $1.8billion (£1.4billion), who has donated to Donald Trump’s campaigns in the past, but has since claimed he’s sorry for voting for the former president.

Nicola, who is four years older than Brooklyn, starred in Marvel’s Inhumans, the drama-thriller series Bates Motel and blockbuster Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

She’s also walked the runway for Alexander Wang at Paris Fashion Week in 2015, and appeared in music videos for Zayn Malik and Miley Cyrus.

Like Brooklyn, Nicola comes from an all-star family, as the daughter of billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, and his wife former model Claudia Heffner.

The actress is one of the youngest of their 10 children, who include actor Will Peltz, hockey star Brad Peltz and Diesel Peltz, CEO of social networking company Twenty and one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for Consumer Technology in 2020.

When did they get married?

The pair got married on April 9, 2022 in a star-studded $3million wedding, with Nicola’s parents, Nelson and Claudia, hosting the ceremony at their sprawling Palm Beach, Florida mansion.

After their whirlwind romance, in July 2020, the couple announced that Brooklyn had proposed to Nicola just nine months after they began dating.
