He is estimated to be worth more than £445million, of which she is entitled to up to half. A source said: 'This explains a lot about Simon's desire to get the Spice Girls back together and on the road for a lucrative money-spinning tour.' Fuller, who began his career in 1981 and launched Pop Idol in 2001, has spent much of his career as a friend to A-listers across entertainment and sport. He led the Spice Girls to global success during the 1990s and last month was in touch with Geri Horner amid rumours that they would meet to thrash out a deal for a reunion. In 2019, the band made almost £18million in profit from 13 stadium shows and it is estimated a new tour could yield £30million. Victoria Beckham told friends she is '90 per cent out of the running' for next year but Geri, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C are considering it. Fuller, who signed a pre- nuptial agreement with Natalie, married her in May 2008 and the band were guests at the bash. Annie Lennox and Leona Lewis, who Fuller also managed, were among the others. During his career, Fuller has also looked after David Beckham, tennis great Andy Murray and F1 ace Lewis Hamilton, amassing considerable wealth. Mel B drops biggest clue yet that Spice Girls are reuniting with cryptic comment on Instagram Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2007 and, in 2008, Billboard magazine rated him the most successful British music manager of all time. In 2016, he persuaded ABBA to reunite and explore working with virtual reality, which led to the ABBA Voyage project. The 2020 Sunday Times Rich List put his wealth at £445million. He has three children with interior designer Natalie, one aged 14 and nine-year-old twins. 5 In 2008, Billboard magazine rated him the most successful British music manager of all time, pictured with the Spice Girls in 2012 Credit: Getty

Spice Girls pay sweet tribute to David Beckham on his 50th birthday with cute nickname
THE SPICE Girls have revealed David Beckham's cute nickname in a tribute post for his 50th birthday. The football legend reached the milestone age on Friday and has been flooded with celebratory messages from his famous pals. 3 David has shared a string of tribute posts on his Instagram story including one from his wife Victoria's iconic girl band. The Spice Girls posted two photos of David on their official social media account and sweetly called him the "original Spice Boy". They captioned it: "One of our original Spice Boys turns 50 today! Happy birthday David Beckham." The first snap showed the sports star wearing a blue Spiceworld jumper while Spice Up Your Life played in the background. The second picture showed David flashing the peace sign while rocking a t-shirt with Victoria's face on it and her "Posh" nickname. It comes after fashion designer Victoria pulled out all the stops with an early celebration for David. David hosted a black-tie gathering with wife Victoria, 51, their family and close friends earlier this week at a £10million Cotswolds estate. The elegant affair saw Becks and his guests donning tuxedos and ballgowns, sipping cocktails, and going for a midnight swim fully dressed. David's Porsche Penske from the IndyCar Series was seen parked up outside at the swanky soirée. Victoria Beckham can't keep her hands off husband David as they dance in a restaurant on his 50th birthday As the night progressed things took a wild turn with some attendees jumping in David and Victoria 's pond, tuxedos and all. The superstar couple's youngest son Cruz, 20, shared a glimpse of the night on social media, posting a sweet photo with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29. They coordinated their looks with budding rock star Cruz in a classic tux and standout red braces, and Jackie in a striking red satin gown. NO SHOW? The Sun revealed that David is hosting a lavish party tonight in London - although there are fears eldest son, Brooklyn, will NOT attend despite being in the capital. Tellingly, the 26-year-old did not publicly post a 'happy birthday' message to his dad - the first time he has failed to do so. However, Becks had an 'amazing' day with the rest of his family, as the clan hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet, spending the afternoon supping wines in a Bordeaux vineyard. Wife Victoria paid tribute to him on Instagram with a montage of photos and a sweet clip of daughter Harper as a toddler, warbling 'There's only one David Beckham'. A source added: 'David had the most incredible day, and felt truly spoilt. 'The immediate family flew out from Oxford, spent the afternoon supping wines - even Harper had a little sip - and then jetted to Paris in the evening for dinner at one of his favourite restaurants. Victoria went all out. 'It was pretty much a perfect day, although sadly Brooklyn was unable to make it. 'Tonight is the big London bash with his celeb pals, family and friends but although Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, are invited - and are in town - they have yet to RSVP. "There has been some contact between them though. "So it's all very up in the air - there's certainly a lot of tension there right now, but David just wants to focus on the positives, and what will be will be.' Around 40 guests - including Gordon and Tana Ramsay, Guy Ritchie, Tom Cruise and the couple's personal trainer, Bobby Rich, are expected to attend the three source, sit-down meal. 3
