David Beckham

Sir David Beckham is a global cultural icon, entrepreneur, and the co-owner and president of Inter Miami CF. Since retiring from professional football in 2013, Beckham has engineered one of the most successful personal brand transitions in history, moving from the pitch to the boardroom with strategic precision. In 2022, he formalised his business structure by partnering with Authentic Brands Group, which now co-owns and manages his global brand portfolio.

His influence in the fashion industry remains peerless. In 2024, he entered a long-term design collaboration with Hugo Boss, launching the critically acclaimed Beckham x Boss collection for Spring/Summer 2025. This was followed by a perpetual licensing deal with the Safilo Group for his eyewear line, further cementing his status as a permanent fixture in luxury retail.

Beckham’s sporting vision culminated in 2025 with Inter Miami CF’s MLS Cup victory, a triumph that saw the club’s valuation soar to $1.45 billion. Simultaneously, his media production company, Studio 99, has become a formidable player in the documentary space, following the Emmy-winning success of his namesake Netflix series. Now knighted for his services to sport and charity, and serving as the ambassadorial president of the British Fashion Council, Beckham continues to bridge the gap between global sport, high fashion, and international philanthropy.
