No favorite British Press
It was 1999 when the budding soccer star and the Spice Girl on. 4 July gave the knot. Beckham had just with his club Manchester United won at this time that Triple (English championship, FA Cup and Champions League) and was instrumental mainly on winning the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, he was considered very critical in the British media – especially his marriage with the popular singer Victoria aka “Posh Spice” was the press an eyesore. Again and again, one could read that his famous woman exercising negative influence on him.
His qualities on the pitch kept the criticism, however, was. And so Beckham led the England team from 2000 to 2006 as a captain on the field. However, more than the quarter-finals at European or world championships was never in it for the brilliant free kick taker. For this he was able to celebrate three national championships at club level outside his home with clubs like Real Madrid, Los Angeles Galaxy and Paris Saint-Germain. Although Beckham earned already as playing football a huge salary, but most of all it sees the Englishman as good as almost any other (ex-) Kicker to market yourself as a person himself.
“The largest contract in history “
This potential saw 2003, those in charge of Real Madrid, who lured the then 28-year-old from Manchester United to the Spanish capital. The plan worked: His shirt with the shirt number 23 – after his sporting role model Michael Jordan – was sold out within one day and gave the “Royal” revenue of 624,000 euros bandied. In return, Becks was proud of 35 million euros for his four-year contract. But that is nothing compared to his salary, he should collect in the American professional league MLS from 2007. The Los Angeles Galaxy Beckham signed the “biggest contract in history” as the British newspaper ‘The Times’ headline back then.
For five years, to kick zweitklassigem level stroked a native of London $ 250 million. The player salary amounted However, “only” $ 10 million. The highlight of the contract was in fact another: Beckham earned vigorously on the sales of all memorabilia with. He was also involved in the annual profit as a percentage of Galaxy and finally he could push even the total revenue of its advertising contracts in their own pockets. Unlike his previous employers Real Madrid Becks had in Los Angeles do not give 50 percent its image rights. For the Spanish club the loss of Beckham was painful. The sports paper “Marca” wrote: “Real can not afford to do without him, because he is an icon and as a professional, a role model for the team.” After all, Real the global appeal of the then 31-year-olds had no small one due share of income of around EUR 290 million.
money was never his motivation
money, incidentally, was loud Beckham never the motivation to leave the big football stage in Europe. “Around the world, football is big, only in America do not. I want to change, “the soccer star then justified his move to the United States. And a boom in the US soccer could actually trigger the superstar. Even before the first game of the season tickets Beckham-demand alone increased by 60 percent at Galaxy. And the 13 remaining clubs recorded increased interest of spectators. Everyone wanted to see Europe’s most famous footballer.
That money really is not everything, Beckham showed at the end of his football career actually. When he for six months the newly rich French capital club Paris Saint-Germain joined in January, 2013, he donated his princely salary of almost four million euros to a charitable children’s charity.
But after Beckham the soccer shoes has hung up, keep the cash with him. He has established his person over the years as a strong brand. The lawn has exchanged red carpets, glamorous events and fashion shows Beckham. Last year alone, his playing career, he is said to have earned 16 million euros only through advertising contracts.
