Victoria Beckham turned 47 this past week, partying the night away with the likes of Kim Kardashian (alone these days, of course) and Pharrell in Miami. And we hope she let her hair down, because she certainly deserves to celebrate. Now worth an estimated US$450 million, it’s hard to believe Victoria started her career as a pop singer in the Spice Girls.

Almost two decades after their debut, a lot has changed in Spice World: Posh has hung up her microphone, Baby had babies and Ginger went auburn. But that doesn’t mean they’ve lost their selling power. Their sell-out 2019 reunion tour (without Victoria) grossed over US$70 million, and the band’s combined net worth is estimated to be US$546 million.

Not bad for a bunch of young unknowns who were living together in a tiny house and relying on government benefits right before their debut single Wannabe shot them to international stardom in 1996.

And while Scary, Sporty, Baby and Ginger still have a lot of catching up to do to reach Posh’s level, one thing is for sure: it still pays to be a Spice Girl.

As the matriarch of Brand Beckham, it’s no secret that Victoria Beckham is the wealthiest Spice Girl. But looking back we never imagined that sultry Posh Spice, who had the least lines to sing, would be way richer than all her bandmates combined.

As a member of the Spice Girls, Victoria earned an impressive US$75 million annually, and when the group reunited for their 2007 reunion tour, they grossed another cool US$70 million. Even in 2019, when the band reunited for a tour without her, she continued to rake in a percentage of the band’s sales and merchandise.
