Fashion designer Victoria Beckham has successfully amassed an impressive £70 million net worth, and earlier this month shared a candid insight into her pathway to becoming a fashion designer.

During a new interview with YouTube series host, Osa Machabbi, the former Spice Girl admitted that her journey into the fashion industry has been "stressful at times" as well as "difficult".

While promoting the launch of her capsule collection for Ounass, the mother-of-four said: "This has been 20 years nearly, in fashion. And you've got to be prepared to be in it for the long haul, and don't expect an easy ride and learn from when it's difficult."

Victoria, 51, continued: "I haven't enjoyed it I'm not going to lie. This has not been easy. It's been stressful at times, but I've learned so much, and I wouldn't really have it any other way, because then when you get the success, it makes it mean even more."

The fashion mogul started her eponymous brand in 2008 with a small selection of dresses, at New York Fashion Week that year. 

Since then, the brand has evolved into a luxury label that has been the go-to for a slew of famous faces like Phoebe Dynevor, who donned an original VB at the Met Gala in 2024.

The Beckham brand

According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Victoria Beckham and her football star husband David Beckham have amassed a whopping  £500 million net worth.

Being a star footballer sky rockets your earning potential with David at one time being the highest-ever paid player.

Since his days on the pitch,  he has gone on to front a series of campaigns for the likes of  Adidas, Coty, BOSS, Haig, Armani, H&M, Sainsbury's, Samsung, Vodafone, Breitling, Pepsi, Calvin Klein and Gilette and started his own football team InterMiami.

As well as her fashion brand, Victoria also has her beauty brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty which reached an impressive £89.1 million in revenue in 2023.

"Festering tension" 

Victoria's comments come amid an ongoing family feud with her eldest son Brooklyn after he and his wife skipped David's 50th birthday. 

 Despite the shocking snub, insiders tell us that David and Victoria want a family summit and to resolve the crisis as soon as possible with their 26-year-old son, who is based in California with his wife of three years.

According to insiders, Nicola has been a cause of friction between her husband and his parents, as a billionaire’s daughter who grew up in a privileged environment and is used to doing things her way.

"From the minute Nicola came into the family, she hasn’t shown what Victoria would say is respect towards them," the source tells HELLO!. 

"Tensions rose at their wedding and that situation has continued; Victoria and Nicola don’t really get along. Over the past few months, Nicola has been causing things to fester and everyone to fall out."
