The Beckhams are one of the most famous families on the planet, and this eye opening film charts how they transformed themselves from tabloid fixtures into a global business empire worth more than a billion pounds. 

The Beckhams are billionaires, but how exactly have they done it and where does all the money go? 

Posh and Becks started out as a pop star and a footballer but have become icons and entrepreneurs.

In the late 1990s, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham were rarely out of the headlines - young, glamorous and endlessly scrutinised. It was a time of easy money: big contracts, flashy spending and a life lived in public. But behind the celebrity frenzy, a longer game was already taking shape.

Featuring insights from those who witnessed their rise first-hand, including former Manchester United teammate Keith Gillespie and former club communications director Paddy Harverson, this film reveals the decisions that changed everything. 

From record-breaking endorsement deals and bold career moves to high-risk ventures and savvy long-term investments, the programme explores how Brand Beckham evolved into a sophisticated commercial machine. 

It examines the moments that could have derailed them, from personal dramas to heavy criticism, and how they somehow emerged stronger each time. Is it all about money, no matter the cost? And what is the height of their billionaire ambition?

This is the inside story of brand reinvention and how, in a world where fame can fade overnight, the Beckhams found a way to turn celebrity into lasting power and wealth.
