Summary

The explosive new book from Britain’s leading investigative biographer, Tom Bower

As one of the most famous and influential couples in the world, David and Victoria Beckham have attained iconic status. The ultimate power couple have together built a multi-billion-dollar global brand. For decades, adoring fans have been captivated by the glamorous world they have created, while their unrivalled fusion of showbiz, fashion, football and celebrity has been cultivated alongside the image of a strong marriage.

When the much-trailed Netflix documentary Beckham aired in 2023, viewers were offered an even more intimate insight into their private lives. Produced by the Beckhams themselves, the series raised many questions, not only about their success and personal relationship, but also about the ruthlessly successful management of their image in the media. Are their lives really as perfect as the Beckhams would like the world to believe?

Through extensive research, expert sourcing and interviews with insiders, Britain’s most celebrated investigative biographer, Tom Bower, has unearthed a succession of revelations that give surprising insight into the reality of ‘Brand Beckham’. Exploring the couple’s relationship, and the truth about their football and fashion careers, their finances and their new life in Miami, The House of Beckham unravels the extraordinary reality of the business-savvy cultural icons to tell an engrossing, often astonishing story of money, sex and power.

Bitchy

Misogynistic Tom Bower has done it again … without a doubt he tears his female personalities to shreds . Informative entertaining touched with schadenfreude .

Despicable Greed

I'd always vaguely thought: 'good luck to D & V, they work hard' but listening to this has made me realise that they are foolish & greedy beyond all reason. Their tax avoidance measures are criminal & someone neds to stop this & prevent their spoilt kids living a pampered life at tax payers expense & the expense of our planet 🤮 😡🤬🤬

The vacuousness and self aggrandisement is staggering.

Like a guilty sin listening to the shenanigans of these two grifters levitating to great heights of wealth from such mediocre jump off points. Possibly the supplied information of tax dodging throughout leaves the bitterest taste. Especially as ‘Becks/Bucks’ keeps edging for the ultimate gong bequeathed to a commoner. A knighthood,which seems lightly given his new hook-up with the new King.
