David Beckham celebrates amazing news despite missing out on royal honour
The football star is married to former Spice Girl Victoria
David Beckham had plenty to celebrate this week, despite missing out on a royal honour in The King’s New Year Honours List.
The former England captain’s business empire saw profits more than double last year following the release of his hugely successful Netflix documentary, Beckham.
According to freshly filed accounts, his company, DRBJ Holdings, recorded turnover of 91.2 million US dollars (£72.3 million) for the year, up 2% on the previous year.
The group includes David Beckham Ventures Limited which comprises the majority of his brand partnership and licensing revenues, his Studio 99 media production company and his Seven Global LLP business.
Studio 99 produced David’s Netflix documentary series in October last year – a move which saw the production company’s revenues grow to 15 million dollars (£11.9 million).
Following its global success, Studio 99 is now set to produce Victoria’s own docu-series which tells the story of VB’s “reinvention” as Creative Director of her eponymous fashion brand.
