The Sunday Times Rich List values Beckham's Inter Miami stake at £300 million, boosted by the presence of Lionel Messi on the roster, and his stake in the Freedom Park complex around the new stadium at £400 million. The Beckhams' property portfolio includes a £50 million London home and a £20 million estate in the Cotswolds. 4% to £784 billion.
