Over the years, Beckham and pop star wife Victoria have bought and lived in some of the most lavish houses the world has seen.
One such dwelling was nicknamed ‘Beckingham Palace’ for its sheer size. The couple purchased it in 1999 for $3.3m and added some $4m worth of renovations over time, before selling in 2014.
A mansion in Beverly Hills followed in 2007, which they sold in 2018 for almost a 200% profit at $33m.
Currently, the Beckhams own a place in France and a mansion in London’s Holland Park, known as ‘Millionaire’s Row’ having played host to the likes of Elton John and Robbie Williams.
