David and Victoria Beckham have paid themselves £21m from their sports and media business since 2019, according to the their latest accounts.
This is despite continued heavy losses at Ms Beckham s fashion business, where trade has worsened during the pandemic.
Profit at David Beckham Ventures Limited (DBVL), the brand management firm owned by the former footballer and his wife, fell £3.5m to £11.3m in 2019.
This was in part due to money spent on expansion and charitable donations.
However, the celebrity couple still paid themselves a £14.5m dividend at the end of 2019, accounts show, and took a further £7.1m in 2020.
