Former football star David Beckham is celebrating his 46th birthday today, on May 2.
He and his wife Victoria Beckham have recently returned back to the UK, despite speculation they were going to make their US residency permanent.
Becks is the co-owner of football club Inter Miami in the US – but now it seems like they are back.
Power couple David and Victoria live in a £31million townhouse in North West London.
Together they are one of the highest-earning celeb couples – and they just keep raking it in.
Their company, Beckham Brand Holdings, manages “The Beckham Brand”, and it makes sure they are raking in the millions.
So how much money is he worth exactly? Here we take a look at the former Manchester United star’s net worth.
David Beckham net worth
David Beckham is worth an estimated $500million (£324million), according to wealth website Celebrity Net Worth.
He has amassed the eye-watering fortune from his successful career as a footballer – and the other opportunities which followed.
Beckham spent 20 years playing football, and in 2004 he was named the highest paid player in the world.
But in 2013 he officially announced his retirement.

He has played for several teams, including England, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Los Angeles Galaxy, Preston North End and Manchester United.
Quitting football has done nothing to tarnish Beckham’s brand, and he is still one of the biggest stars in the world.
According to David and Victoria’s latest accounts, they have paid themselves £21million from their sports and media business since 2019.
However, profit at David Beckham Ventures Limited, the brand management firm owned by the footballer and his wife, fell £3.5million to £11.3million in 2019.
