From the Court to the Bank: Athletes and Their Respective Net Worth

For people of a certain age, there might be no footballer more recognizable than David Beckham—although that could be because he married one of the Spice Girls. It could also have to do with the fact that there was a time when you couldn’t set foot outside without seeing his face on a billboard, advertising some product or another.

And with a net worth of 450 million USD, he’s certainly one of the richest footballers around. One source says he’s earned $800 million USD from his soccer career. And he’s known to spend that money on luxury cars, art, a yacht, and real estate—his real estate portfolio is currently worth a cool 92 million USD.
