Not only are the Beckhams one of the most wholesome celebrity families in the business, but they’re also extremely savvy when it comes to their property portfolio.
David and Victoria have been steadily building their impressive cache of luxurious homes since before they even crossed paths; after 25 years of marriage, four children, and various international moves, they have amassed a portfolio worth a whopping £147 million.
Thanks to a winning combination of their high-profile careers, strong brands and strategic prowess, the pair have expanded their investments to include a slew of incredible homes, like their stunning apartment in the Burj Khalifa or their sprawling Miami mansion.
Their property investments reflect both their penchant for luxury as well as their business-savvy minds, with homes in key locations like London, Miami, and Dubai, allowing them to balance their professional commitments with their lifestyle.
The Beckham family’s personal brands perfectly match their real estate tastes
HELLO! spoke to Marc von Grundherr, Director of London-based property agency Benham & Reeves, about the Beckhams’ real estate power plays. Benham & Reeves operates from 21 branches across London, not to mention its 14 international offices in key locations like China, Qatar and Singapore.
“The Beckhams’ property portfolio tends to have a big focus on family and lifestyle, and is often based around the locations where they have lived and worked,” Marc explained.
“While they’ve allowed their lifestyle to guide their property purchases, they’ve shown a real savviness with their selections as their portfolio has always performed well in terms of value appreciation due to their wise decisions to buy prime properties in some of the world’s strongest markets. The best word to describe their property choices is ‘discerning’.”
Join HELLO! as we look into the Beckham’s extensive property portfolio and discover just how they amassed all £147 million of it.
The Beckhams’ property power plays
David and Victoria sold their Beverly Hills mansion for £25 million in 2018
The famous duo had already begun their foray into the property world before they met in 1997, each purchasing their first homes. At the height of her Spice Girls fame in the late 90s, Victoria purchased a mock Tudor mansion in Surrey, while David signed for a £150,000 home in Manchester in 1996. According to the Daily Mail, the football star sold the property for a profit in 1999 just before his and Victoria’s first child, Brooklyn, was born.
The couple then moved into a Cheshire penthouse worth £317,000; it turned a tidy profit in 2002. Their most iconic home from the early years of their relationship, however, was their famous Sawbridgeworth home, dubbed ‘Beckingham Palace’ by the press.
They initially purchased the Grade II-listed property for £2.5 million in 1999 and sold it for £11.5 million after owning it for 15 years. The house was notable for its grand design and lavish updates, including a recording studio, tennis courts and landscaped gardens.
They also invested in a second Cheshire house, a converted barn bought for £1.25 million in 2001 and sold for £1.75 million in 2005 after they moved to Spain when David signed for Real Madrid.
Throughout their time together, Victoria and David also owned a house in St Tropez worth £1.5 million, a £3.6 million Madrid home, and an incredible £11 million Los Angeles mansion, which turned a profit of £22 million when they sold it years later.
According to Marc, their past property choices are inextricably linked to their world-famous brands. “First and foremost, they’re an international couple with genuine worldwide fame and their portfolio is built around the jet-setting life,” he said.
“Their personal brand is all about fashion and luxury, all the way from Victoria’s success as a designer to David’s many associations and partnerships with high-end brands.”
The Beckhams’ trend of buying a property and adding immense value to it through the association with their brands and a slew of tasteful renovations, only to sell it for a high profit, proves how clever their investments have been. Going on to sell these homes has provided David and Victoria with the means to constantly upscale their digs, culminating in their incredible £147 million property portfolio.
The lavish London home base — £31 million
The family spend most of their time in the luxurious London home
For a jet-setting family like the Beckhams, it’s essential to have a base where they can all take a break from their busy lives and be together. This just so happens to be their London townhouse, which they bought in 2013; it is now estimated to be worth £31 million.
The seven-bedroom home is located in London’s Holland Park — often referred to as ‘Millionaire’s Row’ — and was built in the Victorian style before they renovated it in 2016.
The couple added separate quarters for their eldest, Brooklyn, to live in, as well as a gym. The mansion stands four stories high and also features an indoor pool, a fashion runway (of course), a nail salon and a wine cellar. Fans got a glimpse into their stunning home in the 2023 documentary Beckham when David showcased his immaculate kitchen, which he meticulously cleans every day.
Despite its incredible price tag, the London home appears cosy and full of warmth, with neutral interiors and abundant natural lighting to showcase that family-centric feel.
Marc explained that their London house is just one piece of the portfolio puzzle that proves just how family-focused the Beckhams are.
“Despite their unimaginable wealth and celebrity status, the Beckhams seem to be quite genuinely down to earth,” he said.
“Because of this, their portfolio is very much focused around family life, with a few additional assets located in the places most central to their careers.”
The luxurious Dubai getaway — £4 million
David and Victoria bought an apartment inside the Burj Khalifa worth £4 million
In 2002, the couple looked further afield for an international home, settling on a beautiful £1.3 million villa in Palm Jumeirah. The property reportedly rose in value to £8 million by 2008, according to Now Magazine. Despite its stunning interior, the family rarely found time to spend in Dubai and sweetly gifted the property to Victoria’s parents in 2009.
However, this was not the last they saw of Dubai — in 2009, David and Victoria splashed out on a £4 million apartment in the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
The owners of these apartments are allowed full access to the building’s array of facilities, including four swimming pools, a library, two gyms, a multitude of restaurants, spa services, and even a grocery store.
For Marc, this purchase proves just how clever David and Victoria are with their investments. “Their property choices are highly exclusive, based only in the most sought-after prime markets,” he explained.
“But they’re also incredibly on-trend, always snapping up glamorous homes in real ‘place to be’ locations and iconic buildings designed by leading architects.”
The picturesque Cotswolds retreat — £12 million
The family snagged their Cotswolds home in 2016
David and Victoria’s country escape is a stunning two-acre home converted from three farmhouses into a nine-bedroom house. Bought for £6.15 million in 2016, the house has something for everyone, including an orchard, a football pitch, an Estonian sauna, and a tent complete with a fully-fledged kitchen.
“I wanted a place where we could escape,” the football legend said in his titular documentary. According to Architectural Digest, the couple spent almost £6 million renovating the house, including adding an apiary for David’s beekeeping hobby, an artificial lake, an underground tunnel, and a plunge pool. With all of the renovations, the estate is now worth a reported £12 million.
The family evidently love their country getaway — the majority of David’s docu-series was filmed there, depicting sweet scenes of the down-to-earth Beckham brood at their country escape.
The sprawling Miami mansion — £60 million
The Beckhams bought the penthouse in Miami’s One Thousand Museum
A few years after David bought the football team Inter Miami CF in 2014, the family began looking for a home base in the Florida city. They settled on a beautiful penthouse in the famous One Thousand Museum building in 2020, which they bought for £19 million.
Sitting at almost 1000 square metres, the luxurious apartment features five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms, with incredible views of Miami’s famous South Beach. It sits inside the 60-floor skyscraper and gives the Beckhams access to a wellness centre, a cinema, event-planning services, and the city’s first private helipad, according to Marc. David and Victoria’s Miami home is just as incredible as the building’s features; it has a custom European-style kitchen, high ceilings and a slew of terraces.
It was also reported by The Real Deal that in October 2024, the business-savvy pair closed on a £60 million behemoth of a home located on the Miami Beach waterfront. The new place features a rooftop wet bar, sunroom, cinema, chef’s kitchen, maid quarters, and a private jetty. For Marc, this purchase reflects David’s commitment to his football team and his long-term plans for Inter Miami CF.
The yacht fit for a king — £16 million
They bought the 40-metre superyacht for £16 million
To round out their impressive property portfolio, the Beckhams are also the proud owners of a luxury superyacht worth a staggering £16 million, according to the New York Post.
Previously, in 2021, they bought a £5 million yacht in Miami named “Seven“. The moniker is a reference to David’s jersey number that he sported throughout his career with Manchester United and the English national team — their youngest daughter, Harper, also has Seven as her middle name.
They upsized to the nearly 40-metre yacht in March 2024 and have since enjoyed some fun in the sun on the luxurious boat — they even brought their close friends, Cindy Crawford and her husband Randy Gerber, out on the Miami ocean in the stunning structure.
As for any future savvy real estate moves, Marc believes that they will find more permanent digs to be closer to their far-flung family.
“Two of their sons, Cruz and Brooklyn, live on the other side of the States in Los Angeles, so don’t be surprised if [David and Victoria] also grab some prime property over there, too, in order to stay close to their boys,” he told HELLO!
