DAVID Beckham will be unveiled as the face of the Qatar World Cup next month — netting £150million.
David Beckham has amassed an incredible fortune during his career.
According to The Times, the Englishman, alongside his wife Victoria, have a combined net worth of £380m. And they’re set to get even richer.
Earlier this month he flew into the capital Doha for a week touring stadiums and meeting dignitaries ahead of next year’s tournament.
The country has faced huge controversy over its human rights record, particularly its attitude towards women and gay people.
However, David was assured fans would be safe and allowed to display rainbow flags in stadiums – the symbol of the LGBTQ community.
David believes in Qatar’s commitment to progress and that the World Cup — the first to be held in the Arab world — can effect significant positive change.
“He strongly believes in the power of football to bridge differences but, crucially, has seen the progress on issues that matter.”
David, who has had links with the Qataris since he played for Paris St-Germain, will also promote tourism and culture.
Homosexuality is illegal but application of the law — identical in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi — has become progressively more liberal. David was also informed about a growing female presence in government.
He consulted with wife Victoria, 47, whose pop band The Spice Girls famously sung about “girl power”, before signing.
