His parents have accrued a vast fortune capitalising on their celebrity – and it seems that Brooklyn Beckham is following fast in their footsteps.
The 23-year-old – the eldest son of Victoria and David, whose nickname is Goldenballs – has earned £5 million in the past year alone from brand endorsement deals.
He has become one of the most sought-after young stars globally, securing contracts with Tiffany & Co, Pepe Jeans and BMW.
Sources close to Brooklyn say he also makes money from his much-watched cooking videos.
Although the clips have been mercilessly ridiculed by social media followers – an attempt to make a Sunday roast was lambasted because the joint was still ‘raw’ after cooking – they have been watched by up to five million people.

However, Brooklyn still has some way to go if he wants to match his parents’ – and in-laws’ – fortunes.
The Beckhams have amassed around £370 million, while his wife Nicola Peltz’s family are worth £1.2 billion. Brooklyn’s latest job as an ‘influencer’ comes after attempts to become a footballer, photographer and model.
In the past 12 months he has also fronted campaigns on his Instagram account, which has a following of 15 million, with new Japanese sake brand, WESAKE, which he co-founded; Twinkly, a lighting brand; Wendy’s burger chain; and Silk Nextmilk, a plant-based milk.
One friend said: ‘Brooklyn is a magnet for brands and he is making a lot of money. It is unbelievable how much he is earning.’
Meanwhile, his 29-year-old actress wife has deals with Hugo Boss and Italian fashion label GCDS Wear.

Brooklyn Beckham is celebrating a milestone birthday!
On Monday, Victoria and David Beckham both shared sweet tributes to their oldest son as they celebrated his 25th birthday. Sharing a photo of herself, David and Brooklyn, the fashion designer, 49, honored her son in her caption.
“Today we celebrate Brooklyn turning 25!!! David I love you so much and I’m so proud of the parents we are. We are a good team!!!! Happy birthday,” the proud mom wrote.
On his Instagram, David, 48, posted a throwback video of himself and son Brooklyn from when he was a baby. Posing on a soccer field, a younger David holds his son, who wears a matching Beckham jersey and a medal.
“Happy 25th Birthday to my big boy , so proud of the man you have grown into , and you have always kept the same values you grew up with being polite and kind 🩷 we love you so much bust have the most amazing day ❤️,” David wrote in the caption.
In an interview with Vogue in February, Victoria opened up about her relationship with her daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Victoria, who became a mother-in-law to Nicola when she and Brooklyn tied the knot in 2022, said, “I think Nicola’s wonderful.”
“She’s so passionate about what she does. And her and Brooklyn make each other super happy, and that is wonderful to see as a mother,” she said. “All you want is for your kids to be happy, right?”
When it comes to his own happiness, Brooklyn has previously expressed a strong desire to start a family with Nicola, 29, sooner rather than later.

“I could have had kids yesterday,” he told PEOPLE in 2022. “Obviously, it’s my wife’s body, but I’ve always wanted to have a bunch of kids around. That’s something I really want to do.
At the time, the eldest Beckham son also expressed a desire to emulate the path his dad took to fatherhood.
“My dad was young when he had me,” he told PEOPLE. “He was 23. And I’m 23 now. I’ve always wanted to be a young dad.”
