David Beckham's nine-figure net worth has been compared to other members of the famous Class of '92, including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
The 48-year-old former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is said to have made around £659 million by the time he retired in 2013.
He memorably signed a lifetime contract with Adidas in 2003, which is said to be worth £132 million.

And although Becks decided to take a 70% pay cut to join LA Galaxy, his move to the Major League Soccer included two clauses that helped him earn $500 million.
He negotiated the right to buy an MLS expansion team for $25 million upon retirement, which was a genius move as Major League Soccer continued to grow in stature.
And he now co-owns Florida-based side Inter Miami, which contributes to him being one of the world's richest figures in sport.
Beckham, who sold a 55% stake of his brand-management company for around £200 million last year, has a current net worth of £372 million, according to widespread reports.
So how does that figure compare to his former Class of '92 teammates?

Gary Neville:
As well as establishing himself as one of football's most respected pundits, Neville has achieved huge success in the business world.
From his early 20's, the former defender has owned property in Manchester and launched his ‘Relentless’ venture in 2015.
“Relentless is my favourite word and sums up my approach to life, business, everything really," Neville says on his official website.

Neville, who is also involved in other ventures, including League Two side Salford City and GG Hospitality, is said to be worth an estimated £20 million, according to The Mirror.
Ryan Giggs:
The 49-year-old, who made 963 appearances for Manchester United between 1990 and 2014, is estimated to be worth £50 million.

Giggs has numerous business ventures, including GG Hospitality and Salford City like former teammate Neville.
Paul Scholes:
Like the rest of his former Class of '92 teammates, Scholes remains heavily involved in the football world.
The 48-year-old is a regular pundit on TNT Sports following a brief 31-day stint as Oldham Athletic manager. He also enjoyed a short spell as interim boss of Salford City

As well as being involved in League Two side Salford, the former England international has invested £500,000 in the appropriately-named Scholes Gym in Oldham. He is said to have a net worth of £20 million.
Phil Neville:
The 46-year-old has estimated net worth of £20 million, according to reports. After spells at Manchester United and Everton during a 19-year professional career, he has managed England Women's team and Inter Miami.
He also holds a 10% stake in Salford City.
Nicky Butt:
After enjoying a number of different roles at Manchester United following his retirement, including their head of first-team development, Butt decided to step away from Old Trafford in 2021.
Soon after Gary Neville stepped down from his role as Salford City's chief executive in October last year, Butt was appointed CEO.
He is also involved in numerous business ventures, including blockchain company Gaimin.io. Butt's net worth stands at an estimated £15 million.
