About this listen

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.

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 🤮 😡🤬🤬

Despicable Greed

I enjoyed this audio book. I’m convinced everything is one hundred per cent accurate, and it hasn’t made me dislike the Beckhams, but I found it entertaining

Very interesting

This is the second Tom Bower book and disappointed to note that his bitchy tone seems to under pin all his books and that will be very off putting for any further book purchases. With that being said the book darts about so in some cases difficult to know what year is in focus, not as linear as it could be and maybe that helps hiding the fact that Tom doesn’t always have the full facts therefore some lack of content, and is subjective instead. The Beckhams have made a large fortune off their name most is documented here but the tax parts hard to follow and the tone just made it feel that Tom was just jealous.

Bitchy tone

Disliked the completely negative accounts for D and V- surely they must have something that deserved a mention.

the extremely large sums of money involved

Loved it. A real dossier on the lack of ability in all things Victoria including her singing and her fashion vanity business. Also highlighting the greedy d dishonesty of David, his affairs and tax dodges.

He should never be knighted and how in heavens name did Victoria get an honour for failing?

Excellent portrait of what the Beckhams are really like.

Wasn’t keen on the narrator and was glad when it ended. The book was an eye opener to the sad lives of a couple who appear to put money before anything else. It highlights how we, as the general public, are taken in by the people who run the lives of the rich & famous! I ended up feeling sorry for them especially their children.

What sad vacuous people the Beckhams are.

Another story that highlights that things are never as they appear. A reality check indeed. Well researched as always. Tom Bower is thorough in his research. A book that normalises the successful Beckhams.

Interesting insight

Liked the detail that Tim goes into in all his books. Good to hear more abt the other side of the coin that the Netflix documentary shows. Let’s people make up their own mind abt DB.

Another Classic.
