David Beckham's Business Empire Booms, Leading to $US35.8 Million Payday

David Beckham has landed a $US35.8 million ($57 million) payday after profits more than tripled at his business empire in the wake of a successful year. The former footballer received $US12.8 million in shareholder payouts in 2023 and a further $US23 million this year, according to accounts for Mr Beckham’s brand network, DRJB Holdings.

The company, which he jointly owns with New York-based Authentic Brands Group (ABG), covers nearly all of the David Beckham businesses, including his sponsorship deals and brand partnerships. In total, DRJB Holdings has paid out $US124 million to shareholders over the past two years, including $US79.6 million in ordinary dividends and $US44 million in payouts against preference shares. Beckham is understood to have received a portion of the former, equal to his 45 per cent stake in the business, with ABG receiving the rest. The latest payouts came as profits jumped from $US8.3 million to $US26.7 million in 2023, with the company pushing ahead with efforts to monetise “brand Beckham”. It follows a slew of recent tie-ups for Beckham, who has deals with some of the world’s best-known brands including Adidas, Gillette and Calvin Klein. Recently, he has struck deals to become the face of mattress company Tempur, Chinese tech giant AliExpress and air fryer maker SharkNinja. The recent success has also been attributed to Beckham’s Netflix docuseries, “Beckham”, which was released last year. The series, which follows Beckham’s career and family life, has generated significant interest with discussions about his alleged affair in 2003. The Telegraph’s Benji Wilson described the series as a “superb portrayal of the footballer”. In accounts for DRJB, the company said: “The series was a resounding success, achieving a place in the top 10 in all 90 countries where Netflix track audience figures and generating significant press and social media attention worldwide which in turn drove renewed interest in the David Beckham brand.
