It’s no secret that David Beckham is rolling in cash thanks to his status as a footballing legend and heartthrob but his company is also dishing out hefty payslips.

While he may have admitted he was ‘jealous’ of wife Victoria recently, we’re jealous of whichever employee landed the eyewatering sum of £10,000,000.

DB Ventures, one of Becks’ many businesses, forked out the cool multimillion-pound paycheck to an undisclosed mystery person in 2022.

‘Golden Balls’ himself is worth $450 million (£370 million) combined with his Spice Girl wife but it’s unknown if he was the recipient of this huge payout.

The accounts, as seen by The Mirror, reveal that it was the highest-paid director of DB Ventures who took home the pay – but the company declined to name who that is.

Along with the Manchester United icon, Jamie Salter and Nick Woodhouse also serve as directors at the company so one of these three men took home the gold.

‘I’m afraid we won’t be disclosing who the highest-paid director is,’ a spokesperson for the 48-year-old legend told the publication.

The hefty payout was reportedly five times more than the combined salaries of the other 23 employees in the company.

This is just one firm in Beckham’s DRJB Holdings Limited empire, which is a ‘full-service global brand management operation’.

Whoever the lucky director is isn’t receiving this yearly as the payout was up 384% on the previous year, with the company turnover doubled to £72m in 2022.

The same year, Beckham reportedly sold a 55% stake in the firm to Authentic Brands for £200m.

For any business which falls outside DB Ventures, the former England captain has Seven Global, which made an £8.4 million profit through partnerships with Adidas, Tudor and Safilo.

Victoria is also having a stellar year with her companies, as one £30 product has literally caught TikTok’s eye.

The Satin Kajal Liner, which comes in 16 colours, has been flying off the shelves so fast the company is struggling to keep up with the demand.

Since her fashion label launched in 2008, it has been in the red but a more positive forecast was given by her main financial backer, David Belhassen, who said the brand was expecting to turn a profit.

Accounts are published this month but it’s believed Posh’s revenue is up almost 50% to £58 million, partly thanks to the boom of the beauty range first launched in 2019.

With all these businesses, we’re sure the Beckhams were able to repair damage caused last month by Storm Henk at their £12million home in the Cotswolds.
