"I started working a Saturday job at this French cafe from when I was about 14. I lived two minutes away from the cafe and went there every morning. One day, the manager asked if I wanted to work there. I'd never worked before, so thought I'd give it a go." Brooklyn Joseph Beckham is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham. Like his father, Brooklyn briefly pursued a career in professional football, playing for the Arsenal F.C. Academy. After stepping away from the pitch, Beckham has been focused on his growing modeling career.
Born as a Beckham
Brooklyn Beckham has basically been an international star since his pending birth was announced. Born to superstars David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn hasn't let his parent's wealth deter him from carving his own path in the world. According to the most recent financial updates, David Beckham is worth a smooth $450 million all on his own thanks to his playing career. Victoria Beckham has a net worth around $400 million as well thanks to her work as Posh Spice as a member of the hit band, the Spice Girls.
Despite Brooklyn Beckham's famous and wealthy parents, he would get a job at a local coffee shop while still living in France. Beckham would work part-time in order to earn enough money to buy his own things. Independence has been a huge aspect of Brooklyn's life and it should shock nobody that he started at such a young age.
Beckham's independence would lead to financial success as well as a new career. Beckham had initially sought out a career in professional football when he played for the Arsenal F.C. Academy. Beckham would leave the team after realizing that he wasn't passionate enough for the sport to compete at such a high level. Instead, Beckham has built a net worth of over $1 million by working as a model. During his modeling career, Beckham has appeared on covers for Vogue China, Miss Vogue, The New York Times Style Magazine, and L'Uomo Vogue. Beckham has also worked campaigns for Burberry Brit and photographers Terry Richardson and Bruce Weber.
What makes Beckham's ascent to star status so interesting is his fanbase that has grown substantially in China. Beckham is so popular in China that he has become the marketing face for the Huawei Honor 8 Android phone. Other notable representatives for the Honor 8 include Henry Cavill, Scarlett Johansson, and Karlie Kloss.
Outside of his high-profile modeling career, Beckham likes to spend money like any other kid his age. Brooklyn was selected to model the BMW Z4 for a photoshoot in Palm Springs earlier this year. Beckham's BMW Z4 is worth roughly $50k right off of the lot without any additions. BMW is also preparing to release the Z4 M40i in 2020 for a price of nearly $65k. Now a face for the brand, we wouldn't be surprised to see Brooklyn upgrade his ride with every new BMW release!
The final area that Brooklyn Beckham likes to spend big in is photography. As an aspiring professional photographer, Beckham frequently travels to special locations just to capture the perfect shot. He is a devout camera collector and loves to shoot on both film and digital, even though developing film is significantly more expensive.
Early Life Overview
Brooklyn Joseph Beckham was born on March 4, 1999, in Westminster, London. Brooklyn was born to English football star David Beckham and his equally famous singer-turned-fashion mega-star, Victoria Beckham. Thanks to his parent's high profile celebrity, Beckham's birth was an almost international event.
After being born in London, Beckham would spend much of his time growing up in Madrid, Spain. Brooklyn spent his childhood in Spain due to his father's work as the star player on the Real Madrid team. When David Beckham was signed to the LA Galaxy, Brooklyn would move to Los Angeles to stay close to the team.
As a result of Brooklyn's international upbringing, he is fluent in multiple languages while still retaining his American accent. He was raised alongside his three younger siblings, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. Brooklyn's godparents are Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, and David Furnish.
