Beckham got an incredible contract from LA Galaxy! You won’t believe how much he made on it

David Beckham is now best known as a fashion icon and owner of Inter Miami. However, his surprise departure from Real Madrid to the MLS, specifically to the LA Galaxy, has raised the biggest buzz. Most fans didn’t understand his move and still don’t to this day. However, after the details of the contract were leaked, anyone would have accepted the offer.

Leaving Real Madrid

During the 2006/07 season David Beckham trained individually, Fabio Capello did not count on him. As the documentary revealed, Roberto Carlos and other players put in a good word for him.

The second half of the season with Beckham in the line-up earned the White Ballet the title. However, the Englishman did not receive a new contract offer and chose to sign with LA Galaxy, who announced the deal several months in advance.

Contract with LA Galaxy

One would think that earning $50 million a year is not by any means dazzling. However, David Beckham has earned several hundred million dollars thanks to this contract. After all, running a football club costs something and Inter Miami would not exist without the former England midfielder.

The Englishman received a percentage of all income from the American club. We are talking about income from tickets, jersey sales or even from refreshments during football matches. It’s no secret that Beckham literally drove the American spectators crazy, who started coming to see him in large numbers.

During his contract with the club, he also acted as an ambassador for several global brands. Beckham headed Pepsi, Adidas, Armani, Samsung, Sprint Mobile and other brands we could go on.

Above all, the English midfielder owned the opportunity to expand the competition with his club for $25 million. At the end of his contract, the Englishman had earned over $250 million.

Beckham took the opportunity

In January 2018, it was clear that the newly formed club Inter Miami would expand the MLS. In 2020, the team played its first official match in its history. Although the team didn’t have a big star, it didn’t take long for Gonzalo Higuain to arrive. In the first few seasons, the new team struggled and failed to make the playoffs.

Despite this, the value of the team was 20 times the signing price of $500 million within 2 years. After the arrival of Lionel Messi, everything changed, both financially and game-wise. Not only did the Argentine help the team win their first trophy, and most likely take the team to the playoffs, but the value of the team rose again thanks to his arrival.

After the dream signing, the value rose to $1.5 billion. Thus, the Englishman earned several hundred million dollars a year on a contract that at first glance should have earned him only $50 million.
