David Beckham: Knighthood, Family Drama, and a Soaring Empire

David Beckham BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

David Beckham remains one of the most intriguing figures on the global stage, especially over the past few days. The biggest headline without question is his official selection for knighthood by King Charles, a major upgrade in recognition for the English football icon. Beckham, who was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth in 2003, is set to be knighted following his recent appointment as an ambassador for the Kings Foundation. Beckham has stated his enthusiasm for increasing opportunities for young people—especially in education and access to nature. Last month, he even joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, where Beckham shared a laugh with the King and wore a rose named in the kings honor. This public association with the royals cements his status as not only a sports legend and entrepreneur but also as a public figure woven into British national life.

While the knighthood is sure to leave a permanent mark on his biography, the past few days have also kept Beckham in the spotlight for family reasons. A public appearance with his son Romeo at Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium drew attention after viral photos circulated, showing the pair looking preoccupied, amid ongoing speculation about a rift with eldest son Brooklyn. Tension became the talk of social media after Romeo and Cruz both unfollowed Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz on Instagram. The family drama reportedly escalated after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s milestone 50th birthday party. Despite the online snub, Brooklyn and Nicola continue to follow David and Victoria on Instagram, and Brooklyn did send public birthday wishes to his sister Harper—fueling speculation of possible reconciliation, though nothing is confirmed.

On the business front, Beckham’s power continues to show. He just launched a new menswear collection, the David Beckham x Boss line, which received coverage this week and is touted as the perfect everyday wardrobe for men. He continues to rake in significant profits as co-owner of Inter Miami, now valued around $1.2 billion, with his stake worth over $300 million. Just this week, his other club, Salford City—co-owned with Gary Neville—made headlines as Liverpool entered advanced talks to sign academy star Will Wright, proof of Beckham’s continued influence in player development.

All of this happens as Beckham’s fortune surges, with analysts now putting his net worth at $520 million, bolstered by business ventures, licensing deals, fashion collaborations, and a still-expanding brand empire. On social media, he’s been positive: his Instagram this week celebrated Inter Miami’s performances and “la familia.” For a man about to become Sir David Beckham, there is little sign of slowing down—whether on the sports, business, or society pages.
