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.

Rolls-Royce to invest £300m in expansion of Goodwood factory

Luxury carmaker driven to meet demand for bespoke upgrades, after recording third-highest annual sales in 2024

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has said it will invest £300m in expanding its Goodwood factory in West Sussex to meet the growing demand for bespoke upgrades, after the luxury carmaker recorded its third-highest annual sales in 2024.

The investment will extend the luxury carmaker’s manufacturing facility as it gradually moves away from V12 petrol engines to battery electric vehicles, as well as increasing its capacity to fulfil the whims of some of the world’s richest people.
