Their staggering wealth has put the husband and wife duo in front of King Charles, whose wealth has increased by £40 million from last year, from £640 million to £680 million.

Where else does the Beckhams' net worth come from?

As well as their aforementioned ventures, it isn't just the world of football and fashion that has landed the Beckhams in a lucrative spot.

David has been the face of countless advertising campaigns and sponsorships for brands including Adidas, Coty, BOSS, Haig, Armani, H&M, Sainsbury's, Samsung, Vodafone, Breitling, Pepsi, Calvin Klein and Gillette, among others.

While VB's namesake feels synonymous with high fashion, it's actually her beauty brand that rakes in the pounds, with Reuters reporting last year that the former Spice Girl could rake in an eye-watering $700 million dollars should she be interested in selling up.

Decoding the rich list

The publication explains that the Sunday Times Rich List 2026 is based on estimates of the minimum wealth of Britain’s 350 richest people or families, with valuations carried out between November 2025 and April 24, 2026.

Compiler Robert Watts explains: "The compilers of the Rich List measure identifiable wealth - such as land, property, racehorses, art or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. We exclude bank accounts to which we have no access and small shareholdings in a private equity portfolio. The actual size of someone’s fortune may be significantly larger than our conservative figures."
