Before Victoria Beckham wed soccer superstar David Beckham and became one of Hollywood’s power couples, she was amassing her own fortune as part of the Spice Girls. Formed in the late ’90s, the British girl group consisted of five fierce women who all famously had aka names — Emma Bunton (Baby), Geri Halliwell (Ginger), Melanie C (Sporty), Melanie B (Scary), and Victoria (Posh).
The Spice Girl’s first single was 1996’s “Wannabe,” and it went No. 1 in 37 countries. Their debut album, “Spice,” sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. The girl group took the world by storm, and in 1997, they released a highly successful second album, “Spiceworld,” and their movie, also titled “Spiceworld,” which was a parody of their lives and a box office hit. Before breaking up in 2000 to focus on solo careers, they released their third record, “Forever.” Although the Spice Girls were short-lived, they are widely considered among the best-selling girl groups ever, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide with their three records. According to Rolling Stone, the Spice Girls earned around $75 million annually.

After the group disbanded, Victoria launched her eponymous fashion brand in 2008. As of 2022, it was reportedly valued at $50 million. Her success in fashion led the former songstress into the beauty world, and in 2019, she launched Victoria Beckham Beauty. Without her famous hubby, StyleCaster estimated her net worth to be $70 million.
