Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, made his fortune as an investor, and his wife, Claudia Hefner Peltz, made a living as a model before they married.
Brooklyn’s father became wealthy as an English soccer star and continues to make money in a variety of ways, while his wife Victoria became rich and famous with her Spice Girls career and her eponymous fashion line.
David and Victoria have been estranged since their eldest son and Nicola married in 2022, putting the wealthy families at odds.

Nelson’s personal assets
The Brooklyn-born businessman dropped out of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and began working as a truck driver for his grandfather’s wholesale food company, A. Peltz & Sons.
From there, he and his brother Robert took over management and transformed the business into a publicly traded company with sales of approximately $150 million under the name Flagstaff. The brothers then invested in Triangle Industries, a vending machine and wire company, and built it into a Fortune 100 industrial company and one of the world’s largest packaging companies.
Mr. Nelson’s investment vehicle, Triark Companies, acquired Snapple from Quaker Oats and later sold the beverage brand to Cadbury Schweppes for about $1.45 billion.
Additionally, he co-founded Trian Partners, an alternative investment management fund with $8.5 billion in assets under management.
Claudia’s personal property
Nelson married model Claudia in 1985.
After posing for brands like Revlon, L’Oréal, and Calvin Klein, and appearing in publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle, Claudia retired from her modeling career to care for her eight children and co-run her family’s foundation.
The couple lives in a beachfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, which is reportedly worth $76 million. The 27-bedroom property, called Montsorel, is one of the most expensive mansions in the country, according to Architectural Digest.
David and Victoria Beckham’s net worth: $673 million
According to the Sunday Times’ 2025 Seniors List, David and Victoria have a combined net worth of $673 million.
David’s personal assets
This athlete earned millions of dollars during his 21-year career as a soccer player. He started at Manchester United before being traded to Real Madrid. David made a historic move to American Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy in 2007, then played for Paris Saint-Germain before retiring in 2013.
During that time, he reportedly banked $42 million from commercial promotions and sponsorship deals with brands such as Adidas, Coty, H&M, Sainsbury’s, Samsung and Breitling, according to Forbes.
David famously donated his entire nearly $4 million salary from Paris Saint-Germain to two children’s charities, according to The Independent.
In 2014, he became co-owner of Inter Miami CF, valued at over $1.2 billion. In 2021, he increased his net worth by signing a 10-year, $177 million contract with Qatar Tourism, according to Business Insider.
A year later, he sold 55 percent of DB Ventures to Authentic Brands Group for $269 million. He retains 45% ownership to maintain recurring income.
Victoria’s personal assets
The singer first became rich as a member of the Spice Girls, which formed in 1994. The group disbanded in 2001, but Victoria (also known as Posh Spice) continues to receive royalties from Posh Spice, despite several reunions over the years.
Her wealth was revealed in 2007 when she was named Britain’s 52nd richest woman by the Sunday Times.
After stepping away from pop stardom, Victoria stepped into the world of fashion and launched her eponymous clothing brand in 2008. In 2019, we also launched Victoria Beckham Beauty.
Victoria, who married David in 1999, revealed in a 2025 Netflix documentary series that her company was losing thousands of dollars a day. However, the label earned $151.8 million in total revenue in 2024, WWD reported.
How does the wealth of feuding families stack up?
Both the Beckham and Peltz families are extremely wealthy.
Brooklyn’s parents have a combined net worth of around $673 million, but Nicola’s model mother and investor father are worth more than twice as much.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s personal assets
Brooklyn and Nicola have clearly lived lavish lifestyles thanks to their respective upbringings.
Still, Brooklyn has managed to make money on her own, starting the Cloud 23 hot sauce brand and Nicola appearing in several film and TV projects. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brooklyn’s net worth is said to be $10 million, while Nicola’s is said to be $50 million.
Judging by Brooklyn’s estrangement from his parents, it is unclear whether he will inherit anything from them in the future.
