She rose to fame as Posh Spice and was recently named a goodwill ambassador by the United Nations. Now Victoria Beckham has a new title to add to her growing list of accolades – Britain’s Most Successful Entrepreneur. The 40-year-old singer turned fashion designer was yesterday named top of a list of the country’s 100 business people, beating Sir James Dyson and Dame Vivienne Westwood. It comes after the turnover of Mrs Beckham’s fashion business has risen from £1million to £30million in just five years.
Last month, the mother of four opened her first stand alone boutique in London’s Mayfair. Just five years ago, she had three employees on her books. She now has 100. The title was awarded to the former pop star by Management Today after the business magazine ranked scores of entrepreneurs by their success over the past five years.
In 2012, Mrs Beckham, said in an interview that she was called posh because she ‘liked the nice restaurants, and the nice clothes’. And now she can certainly afford both. Since 2009, her turnover has increased by 2,900 per cent.
Her current wealth is estimated at £210 million – overtaking her husband David, who was worth a reported £165 million in 2013.
