Brooklyn Beckham, 26, is no stranger to the odd business venture or two. Over the years, he’s tried his hand at cooking, photography and even ventured into the hot sauce business in a bid to increase his net worth

Despite his parents boasting an impressive net worth of £500million, Brooklyn Beckham is thought to have been told to find his own means of making money in a planned out strategy by David and Victoria Beckham to ensure their children understand the “importance of money”.

In a fresh swipe to the Beckhams, Nicola Peltz’s family are said to be “frustrated” with the couple for apparently not contributing to their son’s expensive lifestyle in California. Brooklyn, 26, has been embroiled in an alleged feud with his parents since his wedding to Nicola in 2022, with tensions escalating further last month when they failed to show up for David’s 50th birthday party.

Insiders accused the Beckhams of being “tight”, with claims the billionaire Peltz family pay for most of the couple’s lifestyle – including their £11million Los Angeles mansion. But the Beckhams have a very different approach to raising their children, instilling the “importance of money” in them from a young age, with Brooklyn taking on numerous jobs in recent years.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brooklyn’s net worth is thought to be around £7.9millon – a stark contrast to his wife Nicola whose is thought to be around £39million.

Here, we take a look back at some of the jobs Brooklyn has had over the years – from being on minimum wage to venturing into the hot sauce industry.

Barista

When Brooklyn Beckham reached the age of 15, he took up a job as a barista in a Kensington coffee shop, earning a humble £2.68 per hour. Due to his age at the time, he couldn’t work more than seven hours on a Saturday and was given an hour’s break after four hours.

At the time, fans were impressed with Brooklyn’s part time job, with one writing: “Good on Brooklyn Beckham who’s got himself a job in a coffee shop at 15 when he could just lay back in a life of luxury.”

But a source close to the family claimed it was Victoria and David who encouraged the youngster to take on the role, hoping to teach him the importance of earning money through “hard work”.

It’s not clear how long he worked as a barista, but it was thought to be a summer job in 2014.

Modelling

Thanks to his famous last name, Brooklyn earned his first modelling gig at just 15-years-old. He has since appeared in major publications such as Vogue China, Interview, New York Times Style Magazine, Dazed Korea and L’Uomo Vogue.

He’s also served as a brand ambassador for giants like Huawei’s Honor line and Superdry, reportedly earning a £1million campaign deal in 2021.

Photography

Arguably one of his more notorious career choices was his pursuit of photography in 2016. Brooklyn secured a high-profile placement with a top photographer for a Burberry BRIT campaign.

His hiring caused a lot of backlash in the industry, with prominent photographer Chris Floyd called Burberry’s decision to employ Beckham a “devaluation of photography” and “sheer nepotism”.

But it seemed Brooklyn had a passion for photography, announcing in 2017 that he would be pursuing a photography degree at Parsons School of Design in New York.

His first book of photography, titled What I See, received a lot of critique when it was published in June 2017. Social media users were quick to comment on the “terrible photographs and even worse captions”.

Random House defended the book at the time, insisting its target audience was his teenage fan base. In 2019, Brooklyn interned for British photographer Rankin, who has photographed the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Moss.

But he quit his degree a year in, and decided his pursuit of photography was not meant to be.

Cooking

During the pandemic, Brooklyn found his passion for cooking, leading to his 2021 online series Cookin’ With Brooklyn which received more criticism after it was revealed it took 62 professionals to create each episode, at a reported cost of £74,000.

Brooklyn had no training or experience with cooking, but said it was a passion. But it seems he’s kept up his hobby, still posting occasional recipes online.

He recently told People that his love language is cooking, and that he will “try and cook every night” for her. “I love cooking my wife stuff,” Brooklyn said recently, adding that Nicola likes to help in the kitchen on occasion and cook by his side.

Hot sauce

Brooklyn announced the launch of his new hot sauce brand Cloud23, available exclusively at Whole Foods shops in the UK, back in October. Cloud 23, named after the No.23 jersey his father wore at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, comes in two variants – Sweet Jalapeno and Hot Habanero.

The sauces are on the pricier side, retailing for £14.99, and sales figure from the venture have not been released.

Martin Roberts, the presenter of Homes Under The Hammer, has been working to turn a rural Welsh pub into a tourist hotspot, but the building needs urgent renovations.

Martin Roberts, the star of Homes Under the Hammer, openly admitted to hitting rock bottom with his most recent project as he struggles to turn a mediocre Welsh pub into a holiday hotspot. The rural Hendrewen Hotel in Rhondda Valley is currently facing a significant challenge because some of its components are close to collapse and are in disarray.

Roberts, 61, is now faced with significant delays two years into the renovation after being confident that a two-year schedule and a £500,000 budget would be sufficient to revive the eight-bedroom inn. He told The Sun, “I’m still smiling, but what a challenge it’s been.

It’s my first commercial property, he freely admitted. Residential properties include many apartments and homes, but commercial ones are much more complicated.

Roberts anticipates that the project will be “60%” complete, and he is optimistic that work will “come together really quickly” as he draws nearer to the end of the road. His goal is to have the doors open by Easter at the very least, with the exception of obtaining planning permission in relation to local flooding risks.

The TV personality recounted the numerous obstacles he’s encountered, saying there were “lots of hoops to jump through”, and initially finding the building plagued by slanted walls, collapsing windows, and bats roosting in a leaking roof, reports the Express.

In a surprising twist, Roberts revealed that he had not even disclosed the details of his decision to purchase the crumbling pub while recovering from a heart operation with his wife Kirsty.

The local watering hole is set to become the star of a ten-part ITV documentary series next year, cheekily titled Oops!

I Bought A Pub. Taking inspiration from Jeremy Clarkson, plans are afoot to dangle a Rolls-Royce upside down from the dining room ceiling, mirroring the chrome tractor feature at Jeremy’s establishment, The Farmer’s Dog.

Each of the eight individually themed bedrooms at the hotel has an “individual feel,” each with a name and a “personal feel”.

The property is working on a new bar and restaurant as well.

The establishment has a teaching kitchen where famous chefs will share their culinary expertise with the area, bringing about 30 jobs to the area.

There will also be a stage area to showcase one’s musical skills for those who want to be musicians.

Gino D’Acampo is said to be ready to cash in on the incredible seven-bedroom mansion he shares with his wife and three children after completing a massive restoration project.

TV chef Gino D’Acampo has put his £4.2million Hertfordshire mansion up for sale, it has been claimed. The star took a step away from public life following allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour aimed at him – claims he strongly denies.

As a result former This Morning host Gino was removed from ITV’s programming in February. ITV reported that dozens of former staff and freelancers made allegations about working with Gino, calling his behaviour over a reported 12 year period “unacceptable,” “distressing,” and “horrendous”.

Since the allegations, his shows have been pulled from ITV’s schedule. Gino, 48, “firmly denied” accusations of inappropriate behaviour including using sexualised and aggressive language over a period of 12 years made following an ITV News investigation, and it has been reported he is using his time to flog his property.

According to sources, he put the Grade II-listed seven-bedroom Georgian home on the market on Friday and is preparing to sell it with his wife Jessica and his three children, Luciano, 23, Rocco, 20, and Mia, 13, respectively.

The family have overseen a huge restoration project and could be about to cash in. Mirror Online has approached his reps for confirmation.

A source told MailOnline: “Gino’s had a tough time lately so selling the family home will also add to the sadness. Himself and Jessica put so much work into turning the property into their dream home.” Gino is battling to save his TV career after being hit with the accusations.

He said the claims against him were “simply not in my nature”. Amid the reports, it was claimed Gordon Ramsay, his co-star in Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip, had distanced himself from the presenter.

Gino insists that they are still close friends. The Italian presenter has now revealed that he intends to return to television with a new travelogue that will be shot later this year.

Responding to the claims in their entirety in a statement to ITV News, Gino said: “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago. I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied.

I admonished anyone who I believed would upset or irritate them. Simply put, I don’t do this. The version of events being presented to me is not what I can identify.

“I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level, and I was commissioned on prime-time programs during the period when it is now believed I was acting inappropriately,” not to mention that these allegations have never been brought up with me before.

I’ve worked with more than 1,500 people on about 80 productions throughout my career, and I’m a father and husband, which is a great accomplishment. The suggestion that I have acted improperly against is deeply upsetting because I take these matters very seriously.

Gino made some crass remarks in radio interview last week as he returns to spotlight. In sexualised comments about women’s bodies, he told show hosts that a “real man” wants women to have “things to grab”, while explaining that he prefers a curvier figure.

After a source claimed that they have been “living separate lives” while Katy has been on tour, Orlando Bloom and Katy have been having a relationship.

Actor Orlando Bloom flew to the land down under to reunite with Katy Perry and their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, to have ‘make-or-break talks’ amid split rumours. Orlando, 48, was sweetly snapped carrying his daughter Daisy on his shoulders as he walked the streets of Perth, Australia, on Sunday.

A printed long-sleeved top with black jeans, black boots, and a cap was a casual look for Orlando. Katy, who performed in Perth that night, was not spotted on the walk with her family.

Despite Katy’s contented space flight and her being on tour, reports of their nearly ten-year relationship being on the rocks caused Orlando’s trip to Australia. According to reports, Orlando may have traveled to Australia so they can talk about the state of their relationship.

While rumors about their relationship have been spreading, a source revealed that Katy doesn’t want to “give up” and that they both “love one another.”

A source told The Sun: “No one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets”. They added: “But Katy especially doesn’t want to just give up”.

Katy has been enjoying some quality time in Australia, where she will have spent the entire month of June. On June 30, she will play a concert in Adelaide.

A source claims that she and Orlando have been “living separate lives” because of spending so much time away from her Montecito, California, home.

Katie and Orlando have been living apart for a while because of their work commitments, the source said.

She mentioned traveling back to Australia to visit her children, her sister Angela, Orlando, Daisy, and her children. They haven’t been together for many, many months, and they haven’t really been together for long enough.

They thrived when they had a more settled life, living together for a while, according to the source, “go, go, go.” But that hasn’t actually occurred.

The Lord of the Rings actor, according to reports, didn’t overwhelmingly support Katy’s 11-minute space flight, which saw her orbit the planet for.

However, the source claims that despite their rough patches, the couple still have a great deal of love and can “ride out” the difficult times.

After months of unrest that led to the 26-year-old swearing at his own father’s birthday party, Brooklyn Beckham’s relationship with his family has recently reached a tipping point.

According to some, the conflict started before Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to American heiress and actress Nicola Peltz. According to reports, the wedding planning was reportedly a drama, and recent reports suggest the Peltz family is angry that the Beckhams didn’t financially support the couple’s lavish lifestyle in California.

The mud-slinging grew over the weekend when insiders called the Beckham’s “tight” and claimed Nicola’s parents “threw money at anything and everything” including the two Los Angeles homes where Nicola and Brooklyn reside. In contrast, David and Victoria wanted to teach their children the value of money from a young age, with Brooklyn working as a barista at the age of 15.

Friends of Nicola’s billionaire parents have criticized her for claiming she is “spoiled,” but they have defended the financial support the couple receives. Nicola, a person close to Brooklyn and Nicola, stated that she is grateful for having lived a fortunate life. She has also worked for over 20 years, and she currently writes, directs, and produces her own projects.

Her parents are very proud of their children, but it seems as though doing so would not appeal to them.

Nicola and Brooklyn resigned from their positions as they attended David’s birthday celebrations last month, despite arriving in London to do so. After being informed that his ex, who was dating his brother Romeo at the time, was going to be there, the couple reportedly declined to attend. Additionally, Brooks also omitted his father’s birthday salutation.

According to TMZ, Brooklyn and Nicola were instructed to attend the main celebrations or they wouldn’t have the opportunity to see the family, leaving the two heartbroken because they would not be around Brooklyn’s brother Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull.

Due to the conflict, Kim, 24, and Romeo, 22, split and claimed she was used as the “scapegoat” in the conflict. The DJ and model has now revealed in a new interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine how she handles rumors about herself while battling the spotlight.

She said, “It’s definitely tough, whatever it is, when people talk about you in ways that don’t necessarily make sense and, in my opinion, don’t align with your character and values.

You want to turn around and respond to every comment, but you just can’t, in the end.

Cruz, Brooklyn’s younger brother, gave the impression that the “truth would unfold” on Saturday, making an appearance in front of Cruz’s older brother. The 20-year-old took to Instagram to express his love for his parents, sharing sharp lyrics from The Beatles’ 1969 song with tentative lyrics like “The End to his Stories.”

Fans made a quick fessily connection between the lyrics and Beckham’s ongoing conflict with Brooklyn. They read, “Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, and I love you, and ultimately, the love you give is equal to the love you make.”

The post’s title read, “The truth will emerge.”

According to some, Brooklyn wanted to live permanently away from his parents and their base in London and the Cotswolds, so he made the decision to buy a new home in LA and establish roots there.

However, an insider refuted this. They claimed in a statement to the Daily Mail that “this house has no relationship to family dynamics.” This is the same property David and Victoria own in the US.

Brooklyn spent a portion of his childhood in Los Angeles while his father played for the LA Galaxy, and both Nicola and Brooklyn’s careers are based there. He spent a number of years in LA before moving to the city and beginning to form relationships there. He has always felt at home in LA.

According to reports, Prince Harry wants to invite the Royal Family to the upcoming Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham in 2027.

Prince Harry plans to invite the King and other royals to his next Invictus Games in Birmingham, it has been reported. It is said that email invitations will be sent later this month, with formal invitations to follow, which would be the strongest indication that the Duke of Sussex is keen on reconciliation with his family.

The next Invictus Games is being held at the NEX in Birming from July 10 to 17, 2027, and it is claimed that sending invitations soon would give Charles and the rest of the royals the best chance of attending. However, it could prove a headache for the Palace as the games end on the same day that Queen Camilla turns 80.

A source told the Mail On Sunday: “Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family. Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans.

The Royals have always been incredibly supportive of Invictus and proud of Harry’s accomplishments in that regard. He may have given him one more olive branch that can be reacted upon.

Just weeks ago, Harry revealed he is no longer speaking to his father, but admitted he would like reconciliation with him and his older brother Prince William.

Following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they claimed a member of the royal family was concerned about their son Archie’s skin tone before he was born, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family significantly grew.

Then, the duke claimed that William physically attacked him in his controversial memoir Spare, that the King had a crush on Meghan and put his own needs before Harry’s.

The Prince of Wales will worry more than ever that any conversation with the duke would end up in the public domain because Harry’s decision to speak out appears to have weakened the likelihood of a resolution to his estrangement. The King, who is still receiving cancer, is also thought to be at risk.

In the meantime, when the next Olympics are in the UK in less than two years will Harry bring his wife Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with him.

Harry lost his legal challenge last month against the Home Office over the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec)’s ruling that he should be given a different level of protection while living in the UK.

He claimed at the time that the Court of Appeal decision makes it “impossible” for him to safely bring Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet back to the UK.

In an interview with the BBC, he said: “I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things they are going to miss is everything. I love my country and always have done…despite what some people in that country have done.

I miss the UK, he continued. I long for some of the UK. I do, of course. I feel really let down by the fact that I can’t show my kids my home. Because preparations are in the early stages, an Invictus spokesman said: “No formal invitations have been issued.
