The Beckhams have become billionaires.

David Beckham became Britain's first sports billionaire with a net worth exceeding £1 billion thanks to his involvement in football, advertising, and his global business empire.

According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2026 , the net worth of the former England captain and his wife Victoria Beckham is estimated at £1.185 billion.

After many years away from the pitch, Beckham has maintained his global appeal and successfully built a massive business empire. High-value advertising contracts, his personal brand, and his stake in Inter Miami have significantly increased the former Manchester United star's wealth in recent years.

In particular, Inter Miami's value skyrocketed after Lionel Messi joined the MLS team, transforming the club into one of the fastest-growing sports brands in the world.

Beckham was once a global icon playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan, and PSG. After retiring, his name continued to resonate in the fields of fashion , entertainment, and sports business.

This year's ranking showcases the immense financial power of British sports. Lewis Hamilton ranks 5th with £435 million thanks to his illustrious F1 career and his high-profile contract with Ferrari. Rory McIlroy amassed £325 million after completing his historic golf Grand Slam.

In boxing, Tyson Fury made his debut with a net worth of £162 million, while Anthony Joshua reached £240 million.

In addition to athletes, many powerful figures in the sports industry also appear on the list. Bernie Ecclestone's family leads the list with approximately £2 billion after decades of controlling the Formula 1 business.
