David and Victoria Beckham Overtake King Charles as Britain’s Richest Couple

The Sunday Times’ 2026 list of Britain’s wealthiest individuals shows David and Victoria Beckham with a combined fortune of about €1.36 billion (£1.185 billion), making them the first British sportsperson‑turned‑billionaire and the richest couple in the United Kingdom. Their wealth now exceeds the personal net‑worth of King Charles, estimated at roughly €760 million, highlighting the difference between the monarch’s private assets and the Crown Estate, whose revenues belong to the state.

The Beckhams’ rapid wealth growth stems from David’s co‑ownership of Inter Miami, boosted by Lionel Messi’s move to the club, extensive US real‑estate projects around the stadium, and his IM8 health‑supplement brand. Victoria’s fashion and beauty label also generates over €115 million in annual sales. Together they own high‑value properties in Miami, London and the Cotswolds, as well as a luxury yacht named “Seven.”
