Newly-filed accounts reveal that Spice Girls Ltd made a £93,000 profit last year.
As one of the five members, Victoria owns a 20% stake in the business, meaning she took home £18,600 from those profits.
Despite no recent tours or performances, The Sun previously revealed Victoria has made around £1million from music-related earnings over the last 12 months.
Companies House documents show that Victoria's company, Moody Productions, which she founded in 1997 to manage her music royalties, now holds £2.4 million in assets.

The filings list the income as coming from 'recoupment of music recording and publishing royalties and endorsement activities'.
While Victoria's solo music attracts nearly 20,000 monthly Spotify listeners, the Spice Girls remain a streaming powerhouse, with 12.6 million fans tuning in each month.
The Sun has contacted Victoria's representatives for comment.
It follows reports the Hertfordshire-native left Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz "in tears" on her wedding day.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, first sparked rumours of a rift between them and his parents when they snubbed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations.
And it was today claimed that Victoria "hijacked the first dance" at Brooklyn's Palm Beach wedding to the actress in 2022.

"Marc Anthony, who is a friend of the Beckhams, offered to perform as a gift at the wedding," the source told People.
"Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up...Victoria Beckham!'"

Nicola allegedly "felt that Victoria ruined her wedding, and couldn't understand why."
Another source told the publication that guests were shocked when Victoria started slow dancing with her son.
What should have been a special moment between the newlyweds, ended up with Victoria reportedly stealing the spotlight.
They said: "It wasn't appropriate," adding that a room full of guests saw "Nicola run from the room crying."

The insider added: "Nicola felt like Victoria did this on purpose, when she knew it was a pre-planned romantic dance meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. What she couldn't understand was why."

But a source who was at the wedding told The Sun that this was not the case and Victoria only danced with Brooklyn after being pulled up on stage by good friend and performer Marc.
They said: "At the reception dinner there were speeches and then the happy couple took to the floor for their first dance while about 500 guests sat around and watched.
"After this, Nicola had a dance with her father Nelson, which is normally when the groom would dance with his mum, but for whatever reason that didn't happen.
"Much later, as a gift to the couple, Marc Anthony performed a few songs and everyone got up to dance.

"As part of this he pulled his best friends David and Victoria up on stage with him and then grabbed Brooklyn to dance with his mum and Harper danced with David, Cruz also got up with Eva Longoria as I recall. It was a fun family moment and one dance.
"No-one realised in the moment that Nicola was upset as she just stormed out of the room. She returned later and the evening carried on to an afterparty with DJ.
"It's all just totally baffling.
"Everyone there was utterly mystified as to why Nicola would get so upset."

It comes after insiders said retired footballer David and fashion designer Victoria 'can't deal' with the situation between them and their son.
The source told US Weekly: 'It's sad, really.
'David and Victoria didn't even know Brooklyn was in London. It's becoming increasingly clear how strained things are behind the scenes.'
'David and Victoria always turn up for Brooklyn and Nicola, whether it's for the launch of his hot sauce brand or her movie premiere. This is just very sad.'

The insider added: 'Brooklyn's family adores him and will always be there for him. They just can't deal with this nonsense anymore.'
And the source claimed that Brooklyn decided not to meet with his parents as he's "trying to let things go right now and is giving everyone space".
Over the weekend Brooklyn made his feelings very clear with a damning social media post in which he vowed to always put his wife first.
He said: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.'

And fans were less than impressed. One commented: "Why do you need to do this post on social media , who are you trying to convince? There's no need to say these things publicly - odd."
A second said: "What on earth forced you to choose…just miss those Beckhams together days."
While at third remarked: "Remember kid, you are nothing without your parents.'

EXCLUSIVE I've helped over 50 people lose their virginity - here's what you DIDN'T see on Virgin Island
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about Channel 4 's latest TV series, Virgin Island. The controversial six-part show sees a team of 'sexologists' guide a group of 12 virgins on a unique course to overcome their intimacy anxiety. Now, a sex expert has revealed what it's really like to help people lose their virginity. Gigi Patsy, a 29-year-old escort from Hertfordshire, has worked with 'well over 2,000' people - including over 50 virgins. Speaking to MailOnline on behalf of Vivastreet, she said: 'Some people don't even tell me they're virgins, but you can tell. Others have waited and told me afterwards. Everyone is different.' While the virgins on Virgin Island range in age from 22 to 30, Ms Patsy has seen some virgins in their 50s. 'I think you would be surprised at the broad range of people that are virgins, people assume it's quite rare but it's not,' she said. 'There are many in their 30s, 40s and even 50s who have never been with anyone for a range of reasons, whether it's down to religion, confidence, or the opportunity just hasn't presented itself.' Ms Patsy began escorting over four years ago, and charges clients £250 per session. 'The best part of my job is getting to meet new people and making them feel comfortable and bring some happiness to their lives,' she explained. 'I quickly noticed that a lot of the men I was meeting didn't actually want to have sex just for the thrill - they wanted guidance, a boost of confidence, someone to help them, and that is what I do.' While most people associate escorting with sex, Ms Patsy says that this often isn't the main focus. 'Many people think my job is to simply have sex, but it couldn't be further from the truth,' she said. 'A lot of the time, I just speak with my clients and get to know them. For many people, they're looking for companionship and confidence, more so than a sexual thrill.' If a client does tell her that they're a virgin, Ms Patsy says that she checks multiple times that they're sure they want to have sex. 'I ask them many times, "are you sure they want to go that far?",' she explained. 'They're never going to get this moment back. 'Some of them are just like "I just want to do it so I can get on with my life as I'm putting too much pressure on it". 'It's not for me to judge or say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. Others it takes a few sessions before they're confident enough. 'A lot of people turn up as virgins and then still remain virgins.' Asked about any stand-out clients, Ms Patsy recalled one man in his mid-30s who was not only a virgin, but had also never kissed anyone. 'He said he wanted help losing his virginity,' she remembered. 'We started slowly with kissing, and I could tell this was apprehensive and a bit unsure what he was doing. As he pulled away, he said "wow, my first kiss!". 'I've had a lot of people who have never had sex, but never having kissed anyone was rare, particularly someone who was slightly older.' Since it hit our screens, Virgin Island has had a very mixed response. Some viewers have applauded the brave virgins, while others have dubbed it 'cruel, exploitative, and horribly uncomfortable to watch.' As for Ms Patsy, she believes Virgin Island is 'brilliant'. 'A lot of my virgin clients come to me feel embarrassed or ashamed because there is a stigma attached to it and they feel like the only one in the world their age to have never had sex,' she said. 'So anything that shows it's normal to struggle with intimacy and confidence is positive. 'It was great to see so many of them growing in confidence and take steps towards intimacy.' VIRGIN ISLAND: MEET THE CAST! NAME: EMMA AGE: 23 OCCUPATION: FOOD WORKER Emma said: 'I was the only virgin amongst my friendship group, I felt outnumbered. 'I believed I was the only human experiencing adult life without intimacy but I couldn't relax when there is the possibility of intimacy and I had to battle previous traumas. 'The fact that this concept was being brought to TV made me realise being over 21 and never having sex was not as rare as I thought it was.' NAME: BEN AGED: 30 Ben said: 'A friend sent me the casting call for Virgin Island on social media. I'm not sure if he knew I was a virgin, but he knew I'd struggled in this area. 'Funnily enough, my immediate response to his message was 'not a chance'.' NAME: DAVE AGE: 24 Dave said: 'An initial joke by some friends for some cheap laughs slowly became the opportunity of a lifetime. 'I have always struggled to open up to people but this led me to feel invisible - a feeling I couldn't take anymore. 'I felt like it couldn't continue and I wanted to do something drastic to get my life back on track. NAME: JASON AGE: 25 OCCUPATION: ADMIN WORKER Jason said: 'I always felt like a failure in terms of intimacy and socialness. 'I know the island was primarily for intimacy, but it had the amazing bonus of helping me improve my social skills – and for that, I will be forever grateful.' NAME: LOUISE AGE: 22 Louise said: 'I never really imagined applying for a show like Virgin Island but my friend sent me the application as a joke, and I thought, 'Why not?' 'I was at the point where I was willing to try anything. 'I had just accepted that there must've just been something wrong with me - I think the fact that my friends would see the word 'virgin' and think of me says enough to be honest.' NAME: CHARLOTTE AGE: 29 Charlotte said: 'Because I wanted to rid myself of my shame that I had surrounding my body, and my desire, and my ability to give myself pleasure. 'I wanted to be honest with myself so that I would not be hindered when having relationships in the future.' NAME: HOLLY AGE: 23 She said: 'I felt like I was at a point in my life where I was ready to experience being with someone, but I had a lot of anxiety and questions about myself that I felt I had to work through before taking that step. 'I was definitely nervous, not knowing what to expect, what the others were going to be like, whether I was actually going to get anything out of it.' NAME: PIA AGE: 23 Pia said: 'I applied for Virgin Island because of my struggles with vaginismus. 'I wanted to overcome the pain and anxiety I felt when exploring penetrative sex. 'Plus, I found intimacy incredibly overwhelming.' NAME: TAYLOR AGE: 29 Taylor said: 'I spent my whole adult life wondering why I found sexual things so difficult when others didn't. 'When I was a teenager, the risks of sex seemed to far outweigh the benefits, the only benefit anyone spoke of was babies, and I certainly wasn't ready for one of those. NAME: TOM AGE: 23 Tom said: 'I always found myself to be a freak because I struggled to lose my virginity whilst others around me continued to pop their cherries. 'It severely affected my mental health, filling me with self-loathing which in turn made me a worse person.' NAME: VIRAJ AGE: 25 Viraj said: 'I had a massive struggle to express myself in front of women. 'For me it wasn't about the intimacy stage but more with the confidence side of talking to women and making small talk. 'This whole idea was encouraged by my friends for me to get out of my comfort zone and go through with this.' NAME: Zac AGE: 23 Zac said: 'There was a man reporting that Channel 4 was looking for adult virgins to take part in an experimental TV show. This was of course describing me. 'At first I was like - no way, I'm not gonna do that, but I started to think about it more and more, and I realised that I wasn't really getting anywhere by myself, time was just passing me by with no real positive change.'
