Victoria Caroline Adams was born on 17 April 1974, in Harlow, Essex England, and as Victoria Beckham, or her stage name, Posh Spice, she is known worldwide as a singer, businesswoman, fashion designer and model, as well as the wife of David Beckham, one of the most recognisable sportsmen in the world. As such, Victoria seems to have, and be able to do it all. Once known primarily for taking the pop music industry by storm together with fellow pop girl group “Spice Girls” members Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham has since gone on to become one of the world’s most famous fashion icons and designers. Beckham’s line of fashion products and accessories is a favourite among celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Kate Winslet, and the success of her brand is certainly reflected in Beckham’s net worth.
So just how rich is Victoria Beckham? Sources state that Victoria has an impressive estimated net worth of close to $50 million to show for her efforts in the aforementioned variety of businesses, spanning more than 20 years.
Victoria Beckham Net Worth $49 Million
Victoria Beckham did not have an entirely easy childhood, apparently often bullied at school, but she says that watching Alan Parker’s 1980 musical film “Fame” gave her the way to work out her frustrations – by focusing on becoming a performer. Beckham’s parents were very supportive of Victoria’s decision, and she spent her youth attending several theatre schools. Eventually, this road would lead Victoria Beckham to join the band “Persuasion”, and from there it was a short step to Beckham’s first global breakout with the “Spice Girls”.
After auditioning in response to an advertisement looking for ambitious, extroverted and street smart girls able to perform on a professional level, Victoria joined the all-female pop group “Spice Girls” in 1994. The group remained one of the world’s most famous throughout the 1990s, and all three of their albums included hits that would go on to top the pop music charts. It was during her time in the “Spice Girls” that Victoria Beckham picked up her stage nickname, “Posh Spice”. That wasn’t the only thing Beckham earned, either – Beckham’s net worth took a huge boost during those years, and she is estimated to have earned a grand total of £10 million during her time in the group. After the “Spice Girls” split up, Victoria Beckham would go on to a solo career in music, and her singles featured in several high-stakes battles at the very top of the charts, competing with such performers as the Italian DJ Spiller and Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue. Her net worth continued to grow.
Since then, Victoria Beckham’s career has continued to pick up pace. She ventured into modelling in 2000 for Maria Grachvogel, the for Dolce and Gabbana before her enthusiasm saw her launch into designing firstly for Rock and Republic in 2004, and then her own designs in 2006 under the label dvbStyle. Such was her success, that in 2007, Beckham was reported to be the 52nd richest woman in Great Britain, and together with her husband, football superstar David Beckham, their joint net worth was estimated at $225 million. Since then, Victoria Beckham’s own fashion line has become a fixture, at such events as the New York Fashion Show, and highlighted in such magazines as Vogue, and it would go on to considerable success – in 2012, it was estimated to have earned the celebrity fashion designer upwards of $25 million.
The “Spice Girls” performed together again periodically from 2007-12, apparently for fun as much as money, and indeed Beckham’s net worth is equally because of her phenomenal career in music, and due to her successes in the fashion industry – she has been described as making the transition from a celebrity to a true businesswoman, with BBC Radio 4 placing her among the UK’s 100 most powerful women in fashion. Victoria has also appeared in several TV shows, some with the “Spice Girls” and often in quasi-reality-type TV events. Of course, these have also added to her net worth.
In her personal life, Victoria Beckham lives together with her husband of sixteen years, football legend David Beckham, and their four children. The couple owns no less than four luxurious houses, one of them – a mansion in Beverly Hills – valued at an astonishing $22 million.

Quote
1
If a bride could splurge on a single thing, it's the booze, because that's what guarantees more fun.
2
[on fame] I cope because I have to, because it's just the way my life is. I'm hardened to it. I know how I'm perceived is not how I am, and that's what matters. When they say I'm too thin, I just think: you know what? I'm happy to be thin. I'm into fashion and I like to be able to wear whatever I like. It's my business, and if other people don't like it, that's their business.
3
I have no intention of ever working with the (Spice) girls again.

If you haven't got it, fake it! Too short? Wear big high heels, but do practice walking!

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

"He's got more personality than people think and he's very deep and spiritual. He always knows how to dress, that was part of his appeal originally. We've got matching dogs, matching watches, similar wardrobes, matchings Jags. I know it's tacky, but it makes me laugh." - on David Beckham.
