When you’re one of the most famous athletes in the world, you can do pretty much whatever you want. When David Beckham began his career playing soccer, he had no idea his life would turn out the way that it has so far. From his exceptionally successful sports career to his marriage to one of the most stylish and gorgeous women in the world to his friendship with Prince William and his line of cologne and other fragrances, he’s become one of the wealthiest athletes in the world – and his money comes from many places.
Why would a celebrity who makes millions playing sports and from celebrity endorsements need to launch a fragrance collection? Who cares; celebs have many opportunities that the rest of us do not have, and they take advantage of that, and no one can blame them. Both Beckham and his wife, Victoria – formerly known as Posh Spice from the Spice Girls – have their own fragrance lines. Both have multiple fragrances, both were introduced around the same time, and both are very successful.
But which one is more successful? While there is no way to tell exactly whose line is most successful, we can say with certainty that the fragrance line that David Beckham launched in 2005 is probably more successful than his wife’s – though not by much. The soccer star was given a $13.7 million in 2007 with the agreement that he would bring his line to the US and launch it here. The line was hugely successful and led to another fragrance and many fashion inspired deals for the couple. And while they probably don’t keep track of their successful endeavors, such as David Beckham’s cologne or Victoria Beckham’s fashion line, they’re both successful. According to CelebrityNetWorth, Beckham’s net worth is approximately $350 million and Victoria’s is $300 million. It’s safe to say both are successful.
