Brooklyn Beckham's Opulent New Life After Family Estrangement
Brooklyn Beckham declared last week that he had chosen a 'peaceful' life with his wife Nicola Peltz over reconciliation with his famous parents, Victoria and David Beckham. While severing ties with his family might suggest going it alone, the aspiring chef has landed firmly on his feet thanks to his immensely wealthy in-laws.
The Billionaire Backing Behind the Beckham-Peltz Union
While the Beckham name resonates globally, the financial power behind Nicola Peltz's family eclipses that of her in-laws. Nicola's father, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, boasts a staggering net worth of $1.6 billion, more than double the Beckhams' reported $680 million fortune. This week, it was revealed that Nelson provides his youngest daughter Nicola, 31, with a jaw-dropping $1 million monthly allowance.
Over their four-year marriage, Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola have meticulously documented how this extraordinary wealth is spent. From multi-million dollar real estate to private jet travel and rare vintage wines, their lifestyle offers a glimpse into extreme privilege.
Property Portfolio: From Beverly Hills Mansions to Costly Mistakes
In late 2024, the couple purchased a $16 million home in Beverly Hills' exclusive Trousdale Estates neighbourhood. The 7,000 square foot property features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica mountains. Their new neighbours include Justin and Hailey Bieber, alongside Brooklyn's godfather, Sir Elton John.
The mansion boasts a wet bar, fitness centre, private movie theatre, and a spa complete with treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, and meditation deck. Despite these impressive features, the couple embarked on extensive renovations last year, replacing an ultra-luxe kitchen and bathrooms designed by renowned architect Vincent Van Duysen at a cost exceeding $1 million.
This wasn't their first foray into Los Angeles real estate. In 2021, they purchased a $10.5 million home just five minutes from their current residence, only to sell it eight months later at a $1 million loss. Nicola later admitted the purchase was 'silly', confessing they had rushed into buying before deciding where they wanted to establish their married life.
Luxury Travel: Private Jets, Superyachts, and Five-Star Retreats
Nelson Peltz's extensive property portfolio ensures the couple never lack luxurious accommodation. They frequently visit his gigantic compound in upstate New York and his Palm Beach, Florida estate, where they held their 2022 wedding. A private jet round trip to Florida costs approximately $100,000.
Their international travel is equally extravagant. Favourite destinations include yacht breaks in Los Cabos, Mexico, glamorous stays in St Tropez, and ski weekends in Aspen. Last summer, they enjoyed a family holiday aboard the £85 million superyacht Project X, chartered for £1.2 million per week by Nicola's parents.
More recently, following Brooklyn's bombshell statement about his family estrangement, the couple retreated to San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California – a favourite of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – where rooms can cost up to $2,595 per night.
Epicurean Excess: From £17,000 Wines to $400 Dinners
Among their holiday snaps from San Ysidro Ranch was a photograph featuring one of the world's finest and most expensive dessert wines, valued at £17,000 per bottle. Brooklyn has developed into a serious wine aficionado, sharing images of his extensive home cellar.
As the couple's resident foodie, Brooklyn attempted to launch his cooking career last year with an online series that cost $100,000 to produce, featuring a 62-person crew filming him making a sandwich. While his culinary career hasn't taken off, he regularly visits favourite restaurants like Osteria Mozza in LA, where even a bowl of olives costs $27.
Their dining preferences lean toward exclusivity and expense. They frequent Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant Hayato, which offers a seven-seat, multi-course dinner priced between $350 and $400 per person. For simpler meals, they order takeout from celebrity favourite Nobu.
Extravagant Gifting and Designer Wardrobes
The couple's Instagram feeds regularly feature public displays of affection and gratitude for lavish gifts. Brooklyn frequently sends his wife enormous bouquets, with one arrangement from Flowers of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach costing £4,000 for 500 red roses for Nicola's mother's birthday.
Their jewellery collection extends beyond Brooklyn's £350,000 engagement ring. In a particularly unusual move, the couple had their wisdom teeth turned into his-and-hers gold necklaces several years into their marriage.
Their fashion choices reflect similar extravagance. In 2023, they revealed to Vogue what a week of outfits looks like in their world, showcasing ensembles totalling an astounding $80,249. Their wardrobes feature vintage Chanel, Alaia, Berluti, and Saint Laurent pieces, with even their at-home television watching done in matching $1,150 Valentino robes.
Automotive Obsessions and Pricey Pastimes
Brooklyn's passion for cars is well-documented. His father David gifted the couple a $500,000 vintage electric Jaguar as a wedding present in 2022. Brooklyn's collection has included an Andy Warhol-inspired 1971 BMW M1, a McLaren P1, and a McLaren 765LT, while his everyday vehicle in California is a £50,000 Jeep Wrangler.
Beyond collecting, Brooklyn fulfilled a 'lifelong dream' last year by joining an intense training programme to drive Formula E cars, demonstrating that his interests extend beyond mere ownership to active participation in elite motorsport.
This comprehensive look at the Beckham-Peltz lifestyle reveals how Brooklyn Beckham has transitioned from famous son to beneficiary of one of America's wealthiest families, creating a new identity built around extraordinary privilege and public documentation of luxury living.
