David Beckham’s venture, DB Ventures, has recently come under scrutiny after reportedly paying a staggering $10 million to an undisclosed recipient, leaving the public and media speculating about the mysterious beneficiary.
The Mirror reported that DB Ventures’ accounts showed the massive payment, designated as the salary for the highest-paid director. However, the company has chosen to remain tight-lipped regarding the identity of the recipient.

This has sparked intense speculation about whether the sum went to the renowned football legend himself or to other key figures associated with the company, such as Jamie Salter or Nick Woodhouse.
The payout amounts to a striking 384%, significantly surpassing the combined salaries of the remaining 23 employees at DB Ventures.
DB Ventures, a subsidiary of David Beckham’s global brand management entity, DRJB Holdings Limited, reported a doubled profitable turnover of £72 million in 2022. Despite this financial success, the recent revelation of the $10 million payout has taken many by surprise.

David Beckham’s spokesperson, in response to inquiries, stated, “I’m afraid we won’t be disclosing who the highest-paid director is.” This refusal to provide clarity has intensified public interest and speculation about the nature of the payment.
It’s worth noting that in the same year, Beckham allegedly sold a 55% stake in DRJB Holdings Limited to Authentic Brands for a staggering £200 million. The financial dealings within Beckham’s ventures have been closely watched, especially considering the significant stake sale.
DB Ventures, managing a range of business activities including a housing estate company, plays a pivotal role in Beckham’s diversified business portfolio. The secrecy surrounding the $10 million payout has prompted questions about corporate governance and accountability within the company.
Furthermore, seven Global, another venture associated with David Beckham that falls outside the DB Ventures umbrella, reportedly made a substantial £8.4 million profit in 2022.
