Sir David Beckham Launches New Business Venture Following Knighthood Honor
Sir David Beckham has announced the launch of a new business venture just days after receiving his long-awaited knighthood.
The 50-year-old football legend, who lives in a sprawling West Oxfordshire mansion with his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, often shares glimpses of their life in the Cotswolds on social media.
Beckham, honoured in the King’s Birthday Honours list last week, already boasts an impressive portfolio of brand deals and business ventures. Now, he’s adding one more to the list: Beeup Snacks—a honey-based snack line for children.
The new venture draws from Beckham’s personal passion for beekeeping, which was first revealed in the 2023 Netflix documentary about the lives and careers of him and his wife.
In an Instagram post announcing the launch, Beckham called it a “real passion project” that he’s been developing “behind the scenes for a while.”
“I’m so excited that Beeup Snacks is finally here,” he wrote. “A real passion project for me and something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for a while. Since building my first hive in 2020, I’ve fallen in love with beekeeping and I’ve learnt so much about the health benefits of honey. As a dad and as a former athlete, I wanted to create something for kids to enjoy as part of an active lifestyle, so we created BEEUP… delicious, honey-based snacks. Available now in the US at Target. I can’t wait for you to try it.”
The announcement also coincided with a touching tribute from his wife. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Lady Beckham expressed her pride:
“You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us every day. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.”
Beckham, who was previously appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, responded by sharing his gratitude and love for his family, personally naming each of his children and writing, “I love you all.”
Beckham made his Premier League debut with Manchester United in 1995, later becoming a key player in the club’s historic 1999 Champions League final win against Bayern Munich with two dramatic late goals. Over the course of his football career, he scored 85 goals and secured six Premier League titles and two FA Cups before retiring in 2013.
In addition to his sporting legacy, Beckham has remained active in philanthropy, serving as a founding member of Malaria No More UK’s leadership council and supporting various charitable initiatives worldwide.
With Beeup Snacks now joining his business empire—estimated to be worth over £372 million ($450 million)—Sir David Beckham continues to expand his legacy far beyond the football pitch.
