VICTORIA BECKHAM—$450 MILLION

Former singer and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, who rose to prominence as a member of the now-defunct, all-female pop supergroup, Spice Girls, is reportedly worth a whopping $450 million. Of course, we’re not totally surprised, given Mrs. Beckham’s fantastic business acumen. Indeed, the woman has her own fashion line, fragrance, and a slew of endorsement deals worth millions of dollars. What’s more, her net worth combined with that of her husband puts them both within striking distance of billionaire-hood.

To her credit, Victoria Beckham was able to make a name for herself far beyond what anyone could have expected during her Spice Girl days. Victoria Caroline Adams was born in Essex, England on April 17, 1974. She grew up in a wealthy family. Anthony and her parents set up a wholesale business with Jacqueline. After meeting at a charity football match, Victoria began dating David Beckham in early 1997. The couple announced their engagement in 1998 and were nicknamed “Posh and Becks” by the media.
