David Beckham has emerged as one of the best-known entrepreneurs in the UK and consequently, he’s amassed a huge portfolio of properties – here we take a look at of his £100million portfolio
David Beckham has a huge net worth of over £350million – and approximately £100million of that is in some luxurious properties.
From business ventures such as owning Inter Miami to having his own fragrance, the former Manchester United winger put his fame to good use and made a hugely profitable post-playing career out of it. The Beckham Band has gone international, with Beckham and his former popstar wife Victoria defining what it means to be an A-list celebrity.
And having the lifestyle that he does, it’s no surprise that Beckham, 46, owns a good number of properties around the world.
From the cottage home in the Cotswolds, to the towering skyscraper in Miami, Florida, the Daily Star Sport takes a look at Golden Ball’s whopping £62million property portfolio.

The complex contains 84 residential apartments, including a two-story duplex penthouse. There are also four townhouses, 10 full-floor residences, and 70 half-floor residences.

Being born and raised in Leytonstone, it’s only natural at Beckham would want a hub based in somewhere in London. Holland Park is a far cry from the East End though. And this seven-bedroom house, bought for £31.5million in 2013, is no different.
The property consists of a playroom, gym, spa, and a whopping six bedrooms. According to The Sun, the couple have spent an estimated £8million on renovations to the Victorian home using the guidance of top interior designers Kelly Hoppen and Rose Uniacke.

This breathtaking South of France mansion was seldom used by the Beckhams and consequently put on the market in 2016. It’s not clear whether the property sold or not, but The Sun reports that the family never really visited despite spending £5million on renovation.
A source told the paper: “The Beckhams might have poured millions into the mansion, but they didn’t seem too keen to enjoy the results of their cash. The locals won’t miss them, as they were hardly ever here. When they were, David signed the odd autograph and he once had a kick-about with the villagers, but that was their only contact with them. You wouldn’t have seen Victoria queuing for a croissant in the village boulangerie.”
LA mansion – £25million

When Beckham joined the Galacticos in 2003, the family moved to a neat Spanish villa. Nestled in the rolling hills near Madrid, this fine property was a far cry from their property in Cheshire. Licked with yellow paint and hidden by trees in the countryside, it was a mansion perfect for a modern footballler.

‘Beckingham Palace’ was home for the Beckham family for two decades. It got its name by the press owing to its massive size and 24 acres of land.
