VICTORIA Beckham’s fans often get to see inside her family’s stunning homes in the US and UK

But now Posh Spice has given them a rare insight into their Dubai villa.

The fashion designer, 46, posted a photo in tribute to ex footballer husband David Beckham on Father’s Day.

In it she posed poolside at the stunning property with David, 45, and her kids, Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, eight.

In the caption she wrote: Happy Father’s Day @davidbeckham! We all love u so so much xxxx So many kisses from us all x we love u!!!! X”

Lined with palm trees, the stunning villa is located on the man-made Palm Jumeirah island and is worth a whopping £8million.

David bought the villa for £1.3million in 2002, and Now magazine claimed its value rose to around £8million by 2008.

However, it was previously reported he gifted the property to Victoria’s parents Tony and Jackie that same year.

“David realised he was not going to be able to spend any time in Dubai,” a source previously told the News of the World.

“He’s got his commitments in Los Angeles and it’s a long trip, especially when he still has to spend a lot of time in London

So he discussed it with Victoria and decided that the Dubai place would be a really special present for her parents.”

As if having one property in Dubai was not enough, the family also owns an apartment in the famous Burj Khalifa building.

The football ace splashed out on the property in the world’s tallest tower in 2009, and is still thought to own it now.

The couple have kept glimpses of their apartment fairly under wraps, however, and rarely share photos from inside on social media – unlike their other properties.

According to Times of India, the family bought the apartment for around $5million (£4million).

The Burj Khalifa is a huge tourist hotspot in Dubai, with people from all over the world flocking to its observation decks for uninterrupted views over the entire city.

Thanks to David’s lucrative football career and Victoria’s career in music and fashion, the couple have amassed an eye watering property portfolio worth £62million.

The Sun revealed they recently added to their portfolio after the couple’s latest purchase was a £20million apartment in the “most luxurious” Miami skyscraper in the area, complete with its own helipad, pool and gym.

David splashed out on the 10,000 sq ft, five-bed property in the One Thousand Museum high-rise after taking ownership of the new Inter Miami Football Club.

The luxury block, which is 700ft tall, was designed by the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, who was behind the 2012 Olympics Aquatic Centre in Stratford, East London.

It features huge free-standing baths, a pristine and huge kitchen, car parking, a pool and gym, a spa and even a helipad.

And there’s an incredibly modern concierge desk to ensure the family have the most upmarket welcome possible to their new home too.

The building has “townhouse-style properties at levels 10 to 14 and half-floor apartments from storeys 15 to 49, to full-level penthouses on the next eight levels and a duplex penthouse across floors 58 and 59”.

Prices start at £5million and go up to £45million.

“B for Beauty, B for Beckham” is a phrase that has made the fortune of many Manchester United reporters.

And it cannot be otherwise.

David Beckham is the epitome of football elegance, one of those transversal characters who enjoy fame and glory both on the pitch

(The only English footballer in history to win the national title in 4 different leagues) and off the pitch.

Being a sex symbol at the turn of the late 90s and the beginning of the new millennium is no small matter, but the charm of David Beckham

Who is the only human being to change his hairstyle without lowering the standards of beauty – is one of the most natural things.

Charme that has conquered Victoria Adams, since 1999 Mrs Beckham, with whom she shares a great passion: cars.

Becks’ garage will not be economically comparable to that of Karim Benzema, but his love for his homeland

For two wheels and for vintage cars allow him to widely overcome the Real Madrid striker.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante and DBS Superleggera

The English charm of Aston Martin is simply irresistible.

In fact, from 007 to 7 (the historic shirt number of DB in the time of United) the transformation is rapid.

With the British car manufacturer, however, it is difficult to choose between new and vintage, so Beckham allows himself the luxury of having both.

The 1987 V8 Vantage Voltante was the choice of James Bond played by Timothy Dalton in the movie “The Living Daylights”

And could not miss in a real luxury English garage.

From vintage cars to modern cars.

Yes, because the DBS Superleggera has a 725 horsepower V12 capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reaching the top speed of 340 km/h.

Bentley trio: Bentayga, Continental Supersport and Mulsanne Speed

From a classic English from another, demonstrating how much the idea of “support local” can also be combined with luxury and cars.

The first SUV we see in his collection is one of the most expensive in the world: the 2016 Bentayga – whose speed model starts at € 245,000 – is a luxury that few can afford.

The corner of the garage dedicated to the Bentleys is completed with a Continental Supersport (basic model for € 200,000) and a Mulsanne Speed

A clear attempt by Bentley to approach stylistically the silhouette of the Rolls Royce.

Again, without 350K euros you can’t buy it.

Cadillac Escalade ESV

With a superficial approach, the Escalade may seem like an unsuitable car in a luxury garage, but it’s quite the opposite.

In the early American period of Beckham (2007-2012), not having the luxury SUV par excellence in Hollywood is equivalent to not integrating with the culture of the place.

That’s why one of the first stars and stripes investments, immediately after the purchase of a 33 million dollar house in Beverly Hills.

Ferrari 550 Maranello and 360 Spider

Spice Boy did a jump in Italy (and it will not be the only one), to ensure elegance

And performance of the 1998 gray metallic 550 Maranello of 1998 and the 360 Spider, completely black to be true to English sobriety.

In addition to the status quo that guarantees an Italian car, Beckham is a lover of personalized details.

For the first time in his garage we find a customized accessory: in this case it is the D7 DVB plate, a clear reference to the shirt number and the initials.

Hummer H2

It might seem like an incredible mistake in this unbridled but sober luxury.

Instead the Hummer H2, launched on the market in 2003 and purchased by David in 2005, represents one of those must-haves that it was impossible to give up in those years.

The US company’s sales boom among VIPs is one of those inexplicable things, just like the trajectories of Beckham’s placed kicks.

Lamborghini Gallardo

Another lap, this time not in Maranello but about thirty kilometers northeast, precisely in Sant’Agata Bolognese, home of Lamborghini.

The Gallardo model from 2004 is a vintage jewel in the Becks collection.

Again there is a personalized detail: inside the car wheel, there is a 23, the second shirt number that Beckham had.

McLaren 720S

4-liter V8 bi-turbo engine, 720 HP and 770 Nm of torque, sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and 341 km/h top speed.

They are just numbers, yes, but the McLaren 720S is one of those luxuries that few can afford.

No economic madness to have it: just € 265,000 is enough for the basic model.

Considering that the Beckham family’s net worth is estimated at around 190 million, it is one of those pleasures that can allow you.

Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead and Ghost model

We admitted that the Mulsanne is an attempt by Bentley to enter a luxury sedan segment that has dominated the Rolls Royce for years, but not having one in the “original” garage is a sacrilege, especially if you are British.

The double model available to Beckham combines luxury with the often torrid climate of California.

And in case the car moves to London, the roof of the Phantom reappears as if by magic. A brace that abundantly exceeds half a million pounds.

Porsche 911: from 1969 o present

1969 is a fundamental year for Porsche, which changes some technical components of the engine and transforms the 911 into an elegant but at the same time very aggressive car.

In the same year an S series (full optional) was launched which was purchased by Solar Film (the home of Steve McQueen’s film company) and used in the film “The 24 Hours of Le Mans”

With the same Steve McQueen starring, which arrives on the circuit behind the wheel of the 911 S phantom black.

Even Beckham, therefore, is overwhelmed by the vintage charm of the 911S, varying the color from black to bottle green.

When, however, the desire for vintage is less, here is the 911 Turbo ready to replace it.

The #23 on headrests is now a classic. Beckham’s two Porsches are not the only ones in the garage: Victoria also has her own 911.

Jaguar JK8 and Chevrolet Camaro, between UK and USA

A mix, the one between the Camaro and the JK8, which summarizes a bit Beckham’s career made of ups and downs, displacements and constant changes of look.

The two muscle cars of Jaguar and Chevrolet have also evolved over time, just like Becks who doesn’t miss them.

Two more cars for errands in the late morning or for training than for a gala.

Land Rover Defender Series 3 and Range Rover Sport

Back in the SUV segment, but this time with a timeless classic.

The love of the British for everything that comes out of Gaydon’s factories in Warwickshire is comparable to that of Ferrari for Italy.

The Defender version is one of the best things about David Beckham’s garage.

The Sports version is more representative, but imagine going shopping in a characteristic medieval English village, passing through the English countryside, with that little gem. Beckham style at its best.

Beyond all these cars, SUVs, luxury cars, Beckham has never hidden his visceral passion for motorcycles.

Becks Bikes have become a passion over the years and the garage wing dedicated to motorcycles is highly respected.

Again there is a bit of Italy, with two Ducati models (Desmosedici RR and Monster 1100) that pave the way for vintage models such as the Super Vintage 93 Knuckle

The Confederate F131 Hellcat Combat, the Triumph Scrambler, a Harley Davidson and a BMW R80.

An incredible collection with an incredible history.

It all started at the dawn of his experience at United, when Ryan Giggs when he decided to get rid of his Ford Escort by selling it to young #7 for £ 6,000.

After the first sponsorship contracts, the first BMW arrived (a very trendy M3) before reaching the aforementioned luxury. A great Beckham-style climb.

Fans were confused when they saw President and co-owner of Inter Miami Club, Mr. David Beckham, sitting silently

While his two sons celebrated loudly when Messi scored a 1-1 equalizer for the home team in the match against LA Galaxy. , February 26.

David Beckham and his two sons Brooklyn (24 years old) and Cruz (19 years old) accompanied the home team Inter Miami to support the away team

In the match against LA Galaxy Club on February 26 in the MLS tournament.

After Messi scored in stoppage time to equalize 1-1 for Inter Miami, before that, player Joveljic opened the score 1-0 for LA Galaxy in the 75th minute.

In the stands, David Beckham’s two sons, Brooklyn and Cruz, celebrated. big. But the former British player just sat silently and showed a very serious expression.

“Many people have wondered about David Beckham’s actions. But it’s understandable, LA Galaxy is the former club of this former famous player

So he probably wants to show respect and not celebrate with emotional explosions like 2 Worth mentioning

When Brooklyn and Cruz and famous Hollywood stars like Liv Tyler and Edward Norton sat in the same area trying to inspire Messi’s goal celebration to David Beckham

But he still tried to suppress his joy. “, Mail Sport (UK) expressed.

David Beckham played for LA Galaxy for 5 years from 2007 to 2012, winning 2 MLS Cup championships in 2011 and 2012.

This team in Carson City, California also has a statue of David Beckham outside. soccer field campus in his honor.

When he returned to his old club as President and co-owner of Inter Miami Club, David Beckham was still loved by LA Galaxy fans.

Before the match, the former British player had many interactions with fans, signing autographs and chatting with them very intimately.

The match between David Beckham’s old club and the team he is president and co-owner of also set a record with the largest number of spectators, a total of 27,642 spectators at Dignity Health Sports Park.

This is the first time LA Galaxy’s home stadium has welcomed such a large number of spectators, despite the skyrocketing ticket prices.

The match also attracted a large number of famous figures in the entertainment industry, Hollywood actors, or famous American sports athletes to watch.

What amount did Beckham’s side accept to “sell his privacy” in the movie that is “causing a storm” globally?

The debut of the documentary Beckham, about the career journey and family life of the most famous football player of all time, has excited global audiences.

Beckham quickly reached number 1 in 53 countries and received high ratings and positive comments from many paintings.

It is said that they “sold their privacy” and their unpublished moments to the public.

How much compensation did David Beckham and his wife receive?

Previously, at the end of October 2020, Netflix and the Beckham couple had extremely thorough negotiations about implementing a documentary project

About the life of the former Manchester United star.

According to Daily Mail, the two sides have come to a salary figure of 16 million pounds (about 20 million USD – more than 475 billion VND) for this film.

In it, Beckham will have many never-before-published footage and moments of his family.

Documents will be extracted and compiled from all of his family’s cameras

And videos during holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, or even the couple’s first dates.

However, according to Forbes, this figure of 16 million pounds is not the final figure.

At that time, both sides had not really come to a final agreement because Netflix was in a state of “overload”, attracting almost all the superstars possible to make movies.

Among them are Harry and Meghan Markle with a film contract worth up to 100 million USD, or 5 times the amount of the Beckhams.

Much later, Netflix and Beckham’s side continued to discuss further, eventually arriving at the most reasonable number but did not publicly announce the amount.

However, Forbes predicts that with the power and recognition of the Beckhams, their remuneration will certainly be much higher than 16 million pounds.

In addition, Beckham’s compensation is only for a single documentary project that has just been released

While Harry and Meghan have a longer-term “transaction” that does not only end with the documentary Harry & Meghan. caused a stir before.

On the other hand, with the documentary’s current resounding success, the Beckhams have almost certainly affirmed their position

And will likely lead to more collaborations with Netflix in the future.

After taking his children to play golf, David Beckham continued to go with the children to the boxing practice room.

His image received many mixed opinions from the online community.

On September 2, David Beckham was seen with his daughters Harper (6 years old), Romeo (15 years old), and Cruz (12 years old) at the gym to practice boxing.

The former football player tightly held his youngest daughter’s hand while his two sons followed closely behind, each hand filled with necessary tools.

And it seems that David “cherishes little Harper like an egg like a flower” the most.

He thoughtfully guides his daughter and carefully guides her across the street. At every sports activity, David takes Harper along.

In an interview with The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2015, Victoria said that baby Harper is a genuine “tomboy”, she likes to participate in sports activities with her father and seniors.

Harper also said that she likes to play soccer in the garden.

This made David’s father extremely emotional and expressed: “Having children is the most wonderful thing in the world.”

However, everything seemed to be just a show when many netizens simultaneously condemned David Beckham.

They believe that every appearance of him and his family members is just… an act, the “parading” activities on the street are like “a mobile circus”.

Many netizens pointed out that Harper’s facial expression does not look like a “tomboy” girl who likes to exercise, from her last round of golf to this round of boxing.

Some netizens left criticism as follows: “They are destroying their children, just look at the child’s face to know immediately.

Wrong, really so wrong”, “Can’t he go to the gym alone or with some adult friends?

She looks like she wants to stay home to do the things children like to do during summer vacation”, “This family is like a circus”,

“Everything is fake, it’s all just a stage made up and it’s pointless to try to make yourself appear.

Family outdoor outings like horseback riding or ballet are just ‘collections’ for a photo album.

David is a narcissist and needs therapy while he is robbing his children of their childhood.

A shameful and unforgivable act.”

“Stop applauding this dad.

He spends time with his children but the difference is, while most parents have to go out to work, he “works” by parading around with his brood in a series of sponsored costumes. ”.

This is not the first time netizens have condemned David Beckham’s actions.

Before that, when he took his children to play golf, many people also “begged” him to let little Harper practice her favorite ballet instead of “forcing” her to act to see the multi-talented qualities in her talents.

Former player’s sport.

It can be seen that David Beckham is always the name that receives top attention from public opinion.

When he left the field and returned to being a family man, in one way or another, his image always appeared widely in the media.

And whether he “acts” or not, people will view him in two-way terms, because in reality, being a celebrity always involves controversy.

What a score!

A 102-year-old soccer superfan got the message of a lifetime from the iconic David Beckham this week.

In a heartfelt video, the former England captain thanked Mona Hurry, who “adores” the player, for her unwavering support throughout his career.

Hurry, who resides in the Castor Lodge Care Home in Peterborough, was so “overwhelmed” by the sweet clip, the facility told the BBC on Saturday.

She “couldn’t believe he had done something so special for her,” the statement continued.

“He doesn’t have airs and graces,” Beckham’s self-described “oldest fan” gushed to the Mirror.

In the video, Beckham, 47, called the World War II code breaker an “incredible woman.”

During the war, Hurry served in the Women’s Royal Naval Service to “crack the secrets of German wartime communication,” Laura Mills, who works at the home, told the BBC.

“Hey Mona, I just wanted to send you a message because everybody at Castor Lodge, all of the staff and

Of course, your daughters, have said what an incredible lady you are,” Beckham said in the message.

“I also want to personally say thank you because I know that you’ve followed my career —my whole career — and I know you’re a huge football fan,” he continued.

“I’m sending lots of love for being an incredible person.”

“So I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the support over the years.”

The mega-fan even received a cardboard cut-out of the soccer star during the Beckham-themed party the home hosted.

“Mona adores David Beckham and loves to talk about him,” Mills told the BBC. “She always says what a special, lovely and charitable man he is.”

“She is an incredibly sweet and kind lady herself, who always reaches out to everybody in the home to ask how they are,” she fawned.

Even Hurry’s daughters, Victoria and Maureen, were in awe of the celebrity’s sweet message.

“It is years since I have seen my mother with such a smile on her face,” Maureen told the Mirror.

In the world of fashion and cosmetics, the name Victoria Beckham resonates with elegance and style. However, recent financial reports tell a different story.

Victoria Beckham, renowned fashion designer and wife of soccer legend David Beckham, has faced substantial losses in her business ventures.

But in the midst of adversity, Victoria Beckham is not giving up on her business ambitions.

The former Spice Girl recently announced that she is ready to launch a new product for her brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty.

As Victoria Beckham embarks upon the journey of another new product-based venture, it will be interesting to see her take on the growth of her company.

Let’s delve deeper into the story and unveil some key information about her new beginnings.

A bold move by David Beckham’s wife Victoria Beckham

While many might have expected Victoria Beckham to take a step back after such significant losses, she’s done just the opposite.

David Beckham’s partner and entrepreneur recently took to Instagram to unveil a bold move that is poised to change the course of her business empire.

She announced the upcoming launch of a new fragrance collection as a part of her brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty.

Alongside posting her photo, Victoria captioned, “COMING SOON TO VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY @VictoriaBeckhamBeauty. Photographed by @StevenKleinStudio”

The fragrance range is being teased on the business website of Victoria Beckham Beauty, with users able to sign up for a waitlist.

The fragrance collection, set to launch on September 29, 2023, is generating significant buzz.

The teasers on Victoria Beckham Beauty’s website have attracted scores of eager fans.

It’s worth noting that Victoria Beckham founded her beauty brand alongside industry veteran Sarah Creal in 2019.

While the brand initially gained recognition for its eye and lip products, this foray into fragrances represents a bold expansion.

Victoria Beckham’s journey as an entrepreneur

The $450 million rich former Spice Girl launched her eponymous fashion label in 2008, beginning her journey in the fashion and beauty industry.

In 2019, she ventured into cosmetics with Victoria Beckham Beauty, focusing on eye color cosmetics at first before expanding to lip products.

Although, she has sustained financial losses; she looks confident ahead of her new product launch.

It is to be noted that Victoria Beckham’s company, Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd. reportedly recorded a staggering loss of $7.1 million in 2021.

Although, it was a jump from $10.45 million losses in 2020, it adds up to a cumulative loss of approx. $80.7 million.

Though her decision to launch a new fragrance collection despite facing financial losses is a risky one, she is a savvy businesswoman with a strong brand.

With a brand known for elegance and style, it’s safe to say that this new venture is set to captivate fragrance enthusiasts and loyal fans alike.

Also, along with the support of her husband and astute businessman, David Beckham, she has a good chance of success.

Half a month ago, rumors spread that the couple Posh-Beck is about to divorce, preparing to divide assets and custody of children.

It all comes from sources claiming that Beckham is planning to go to the US to live, including permanently settling in Florida to conveniently manage the football team while Victoria does not agree to go away.

Most recently, Star weekly magazine also confirmed that Victoria is often drunk and David Beckham must find every way to help his wife quit her addiction in order to hold on to the family.

David Beckham, Sands Global Ambassador and international sports star

The festival is the signature event of the property’s award-winning CSR program, Sands for Singapore.

This year, the event will focus on deepening Marina Bay Sands’ support for the local community

Prince Harry shared a touching gesture to wounded soldiers at the ESPYs on Thursday.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, accepted the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the recent event. The special award is presented to an individual who has used their connection to the spring industry to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Harry’s latest award is named after the NFL player and American army Ranger, Pat Tillman.

Harry who in 2020 stepped down as a senior working royal was presented the award for his contributions to the veteran community with the Invictus Games, which he founded in 2014. The Afghanistan veteran created the competition for soldiers who had been left wounded, injured and sick after serving in the military.

During his outing, Harry was joined by his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, who proudly sat alongside her husband. But while Harry stood on stage to accept his award at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Meghan beamed from ear to ear as she stood up and applauded him during his speech.

“You need to be with me,” he said, as he insisted that the Invictus Athletes stayed on stage with him. Speaking on stage, the Duke said: “The truth is, I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient, but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality.

“This award belongs to them, not me. That said, it is of great importance to me to highlight these allies, athletes and their amazing families for their achievements, their spirit, and their courage at every opportunity, especially on nights like this, in front of people like you. Moments like these help us reach those that need Invictus the most and reduce the more than 20 veterans a day taking their own lives, in this country alone.”

This year, the Invictus Games celebrates its tenth anniversary, with Harry stating that although a lot of progress has been made, there is still a long way to go. “We live in an age marked by polarization and division,” he said. He went on to add: “Conflicts rage around the globe. Anger and resentment towards those who are different seem to pervade societies everywhere.”

The King’s son also made reference to his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales during his acceptance speech. He expressed his “deepest gratitude” to those at the Pat Tillman Foundation which is led by Marie Tillman Shelton. “I’d also like to acknowledge the Tillman family, especially Mrs. Mary Tillman, Pat’s mother,” Harry said.

Dad-of-two Harry continued: “Her advocacy for Pat’s legacy is deeply personal and one that I respect. The bond between a mother and son is eternal and transcends even the greatest losses.” Harry was just 12 when his mother died after a horrific car crash while in Paris with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed.
