David Beckham Becomes UK’s First Billionaire Sports Star in 2026 Rich List
David Beckham has become the UK’s first billionaire sports star, with a combined fortune of £1.185 billion alongside his wife Victoria, according to the latest Sunday Times Rich List. His wealth surge from £500 million in 2025 is driven by investments in the US, including his stake in Inter Miami boosted by Lionel Messi’s contract and a major property development next to the club. Victoria Beckham’s fashion label also surpassed £100 million in revenues this year. The 2026 rankings feature new billionaire entrants such as boxer Tyson Fury, Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher, and Revolut co-founder Nik Storonsky. The Hinduja family tops the list at £38 billion, while fortunes for Sir James Dyson and Sir Jim Ratcliffe saw notable declines.
