Former footballer’s commercial tie-ups with Stella Artois and Boss offset losses at TV production studio

David Beckham has earned £28m in dividends from his personal brand empire, as new commercial tie-ups with brands such as Stella Artois and Boss helped offset losses at his TV production studio.

The former England captain sold a 55% stake in his businesses in 2022 to Authentic Brands for £200m. The US firm owns rights to the images of Muhammad Ali and Elvis Presley, as well as labels such as Reebok and Hunter, which makes wellies.

Benchmark prices rose to the highest level since October 2023, a day after a longstanding transit contract between Russia and Ukraine expired. Russian gas deliveries across Ukraine expired in the early hours of New Year’s Day after an agreement signed in 2019 expired.
