In 2022, the brand saw a revenue growth of 13%, valuing it at £40.9 million.

According to some reports, the business posted a growth of 13% in revenue for the financial year ending 2021.
On the other hand, Victoria has also been involved in plenty of brand deals over the years.
For example, she signed a £12 million deal with high-end brand, Armani.
Other notable collaborations include her Estée Lauder partnerships, which saw her release two collections back in the 2010s that were instant sellouts.

Victoria also receives a cut of the group’s merchandise income and royalties.

Despite this, Victoria’s beauty brand has been growing, and according to some reports, the business posted a growth of 13 per cent in revenue for the financial year ending 2021.
Naturally, the Beckhams — along with their four children — lead an incredibly lavish lifestyle featuring beautiful houses, expensive cars, luxurious trips, and star-studded events.
