David Beckham becomes UK's first billionaire sports star on Rich List

financeMay 15, 20261621

David Beckham becomes the UK's first billionaire sports star after he and wife Victoria reach a combined fortune of about £1.185bn on the Sunday Times Rich List. David and Victoria Beckham's wealth more than doubled since last year and now sits at almost twice King Charles's estimated fortune. The list also names the Gallagher brothers among the biggest winners and shows the total wealth of featured individuals and families is about £783.5bn. The milestone highlights how celebrity brands and business ventures can generate fortunes that rival traditional inherited or royal wealth.

It’s blindingly obvious, to anyone paying attention, that we need to do something about this. We need to give Brits a fighting chance to start living; not just surviving. Rich people like me, and those on the Rich List, should be paying more tax - and most of them would be proud to.

The wealth of Britain’s 157 billionaires is now equivalent to one-fifth of the country’s GDP, according to analysis by @equalitytrust.bsky.social, which describes the trend as symptomatic of Britain’s “ghost GDP” or hollowed-out economy. #SundayTimesRichList
