Victoria Beckham expanded her luxury clothing business to better-suited parts markets like the Middle East and Europe. Surprisingly, the company grew its sales numbers from £36 million to £41 million. The directors of the company reportedly did not receive their share of dividends at the end of the year. The sales growth of the company was estimated at about 13%.
As per DailyMail, one of Victoria Beckham’s spokespeople said, “Whilst 2019 was a challenging year, the business halved its losses – a significant step in the road to profitability.”
The road has never been easy for Victoria Beckham. She established her business in 2019. In the first year itself, she suffered losses of about £4.7 million. In 2021, the losses started to plateau in a way but the company now owes over £46 million to its debtors.
While the auditors still consider this company as a ‘significant doubt’ to continue, the former spice girl turned businesswoman is still pushing forward.
David Beckham – The Businessman
Just as 2022 ended, Bloomberg reported that David Beckham managed to triple his revenue just before signing a gigantic business deal to promote the FIFA World Cup. The former Manchester United legend tripled his revenue to about £34 million. This is due to his consistent and strategic approach toward investing in different businesses.
Beckham Brand Holdings Ltd., which currently owns Victoria Beckham’s venture, and DB Ventures Limited could afford to pay a healthy £6.3 million in dividends to the celebrity couple. A few weeks later, the couple received an additional dividend payment of £1.8 million.
According to Andrew Petcash, David Beckham is on his way to $1 billion. Some of Beckham’s best investments include establishing DB Ventures, their own holding brand for varied investments. Additionally, investing back in the sport by buying the MLS soccer team, Inter Miami for a mere $25 million in 2017.
