David Beckham becomes the first British sportsman to be named a billionaire, according to reports from multiple outlets. The former footballer, who retired from playing in 2013, is described as a co-owner of Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. The club’s reported valuation is cited at about £1.07 billion, which is used as the basis for Beckham’s billionaire status. Both sources link the claim to his ownership stake in Inter Miami rather than on-field earnings. The reports also note that Beckham’s playing career ended in 2013, following which his business and ownership interests have been highlighted in connection with the valuation of the club. While the figures are presented as estimates, the core details are consistent across the coverage: Beckham is identified as a co-owner of Inter Miami and is portrayed as the first British sportsman to reach billionaire status.
