Beckham had his biggest year ever from an income standpoint
in 2014. Credit not only to his dozen endorsement deals,
including four in China, but also his two new partnerships with
Diageo and Trinity Group, which netted him upfront money as
well as ownership stake in the ventures. A business direction
that has proven to be successful so far.
