He may be in the twilight of his playing years, but the
near-universal adoration heaped on David Beckham has helped him remain
the highest earner in British sport, according to the Sunday Times Sport
Rich List.
Boxers, golfers, racing drivers and basketball players – all fall by
the wayside in the global ‘brand Beckham’ that has seen the 38-year-old
amass a fortune of £165 million – and that is without his wife’s bank
balance of £35m.
Beckham’s wealth, amassed from endorsement deals and salary payments
from his company, Footwork Productions, over the last decade, make him
easily the richest British sports star of all time.
