Victoria Beckham's earnings from Spice Girls in just one year revealed amid family feud
VICTORIA Beckham is still raking in Spice Girls royalties despite last performing with them over a decade ago. Fashion designer Victoria, 51, last performed with the group at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony but continues to earn a pretty penny from their enduring popularity. 8 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. It follows reports 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. Brooklyn Beckham takes swipe at David and Victoria amid 'family feud' as he shares tribute to wife Nicola Peltz "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 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." 8 8 8 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.' 8 8 8 8

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. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 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 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.
