Victoria Beckham continues to rake in thousands from Spice Girls royalties as staggering sum is revealed
Victoria Beckham hasn't sung with the Spice Girls since 2012, but her royalties continue to roll in.
The fashion designer, 51, still makes thousands from her royalties in the band despite not singing a note for years.
Spice Girls Ltd made a £93,000 profit last year, according to newly filed documents.
With Posh Spice owning a fifth of the business, her share comes in at £18,600 – enough to top up her cellar with a few bottles of David's favourite 1961 Chateau Petrus, costing £3,000 per bottle.
Victoria made a whopping £1million from her music in the last year alone, despite not singing or touring since 2012.

Companies House documents which cover the period ending March 2024 show that the former pop star now has £2.4million in her firm Moody Productions, which she set up back in 1997 to look after the cash she makes from music.
According to The Sun, paperwork said the earnings are for the 'recoupment of music recording and publishing royalties and endorsement activities'.
Solo, Victoria has 19,900 monthly listeners on Spotify, while The Spice Girls have a whopping 12.6 million fans who are regularly streaming their music.
The last time the star performed with the Spice Girls was during the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fuller has reportedly 'revealed his huge plans for the girl group's reunion' - but there's a twist.
The Pop Idol creator, 65, is said to be hoping to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut hit Wannabe.
It has already been said that Victoria is '90 per cent out of the running', but he now appears to have found a way around it.
Simon's new idea could see the band reunite on stage as avatars, just like ABBA have with their smash hit hologram show.
A source told The Sun: 'He was the person who came up with the original idea for Abba and their digital show and he thinks this model could work perfectly for the group.'
They continued: 'Even Victoria said she would be behind it if all of them had agreed. She wouldn't stop it.
'Simon knows this plan would mean the band would be making money in their sleep and it would open up their music to a whole new generation.'
In 2016, Simon persuaded super-group ABBA to reunite to explore working in virtual reality, which led to the ABBA Voyage project which has been pulling in fans for three years at a purpose-built East London arena.
MailOnline contacted Simon's representative for comment.
Victoria and her husband David fell out with him about seven years ago and bought themselves out of their contracts with the mogul's XIX Entertainment agency.
The couple paid around £38 million for Simon's 33 per cent stake in the former England footballer's businesses, which gave David and Victoria full control of Beckham Brand Holdings, which includes a stake in US-based football club Inter Miami.
Last week, Mel C broke her silence on the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour, revealing that one member still 'needs more convincing' to take to the stage.
But in a new interview, she shared her excitement about the tour and let slip that one other member seemingly wasn't as enthusiastic about picking up the mic again and needed further persuasion.
Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice shared: 'Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way.
'So we are talking about what that's going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we'd be back on stage. But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.'
Amid her revelation that it was Geri Halliwell-Horner that needed convincing, this further adds to recent reports that Ginger Spice is set to meet with Spice Girls manager Simon in Miami to discuss the plans.
The singer, 52, recently remained coy about a possible reunion, saying in an interview last month: 'I love the Spice Girls as a whole movement, the tribe of us, and the individual members.'
Since they officially broke up they there have been various rumours that they would reunite - with Mel B recently sharing her enthusiasm again for another tour.
Mel C previously hinted that the band could do something special next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of their debut album, Spice.
The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing out.While the last time Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri all performed as a five was during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Buy now pay later provider Zilch to launch physical card
Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) lets shoppers delay paying in full, instead breaking up costs over several weeks or months. Providers have come under new standards since legislation was introduced last month. It came amid concerns that a lack of regulation has led some of the 10 million people who use it to take on too much debt. What is Zilch? Zilch, which has been named one of the fastest-growing in the UK, said it means more of its customers can make payments in stores. Zilch currently offers a virtual card, stored in its app or in people's mobile wallets, which links to customers' debit cards and means they can pay for shopping flexibly. Which retailers work with Zilch? A well as Amazon and Iceland, retailers from Primark and ASOS to Just Eat and eBay use it, and people can choose to pay in full, or spread payments over six weeks or three months. While the virtual card can be used in shops as well as online, Zilch said that nearly 80% of UK adults do not regularly use mobile wallets, so having a physical card will drive more transactions. It is also set to open up buy-now-pay-later options for bigger purchases like home repairs, hotel check-ins, and car rentals. When will Zilch cards be available? The cards will become available to its existing customers from September. The London-based company has grown its customer base to more than five million since launching five years ago and securing authorisation from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. It reached a valuation of two billion dollars (£1.5 billion) in 2021 and was named one of the UK's fastest-growing fintech unicorns this year (a start-up company that has reached the level of $1 billion in funding). Recommended reading: What is the issue with buy now pay later? But, there are issues with all buy now pay later products, so it pays to be careful, as Aaron Peake, Personal Finance Expert at CredAbility, warns: 'While BNPL can be interest-free, it isn't risk-free. "What's worrying is how quietly it can cause damage, with many people not realising it's real debt until it's too late. "A few small missed payments can knock your credit score or trigger late fees, and in some cases, debt collectors get involved straight away. "What's worse, this could block your chances of getting a mortgage or even a decent phone contract."
