Romeo Beckham becomes the brand new global face of Puma after signing £1.2million deal
Only time will tell whether Romeo Beckham will be able to replicate his father David on the football pitch, but the 19-year-old has certainly already been able to achieve a remarkable commercial success. Romeo secured a £1.2 million deal in December to become the richest of David Beckham’s four children.
However, a high-paying deal of this stature is nothing new in the Beckham family as David signed a lifetime deal with Adidas in 2003. Romeo may have secured a lucrative deal at the age of 19, but it certainly doesn’t last. A report published by The Sun claims that a profitable deal with the sportswear giant is just the beginning and several more contracts are being signed for Romeo over the next few years.
A source told the same publication that Romeo became the brand new global face of Puma after signing the £1.2million deal. The source further added that the deal is expected to be a long-lasting partnership as it is young and perfect for Puma’s target demographic.

The new Puma deal also helped Romeo surpass his older brother, Brooklyn, to become the richest Beckham child. Brooklyn had a net worth of £3.7 million before Romeo signed the latest deal.
He also became Britain’s 26th best dressed person in 2011 and surprisingly was just eight years old at the time. Romeo achieved its first commercial success in 2013 after inking a significant deal with British brand Burberry.
In September 2021, Romeo began his professional career by debuting for Fort Lauderdale CF, the sister team of Inter Miami. He was on the pitch for 79 minutes as Fort Lauderdale CF played out a 2–2 draw against South Georgia Tormenta FC. Romeo could only manage to secure 19 touches during the game, but it seemed enough to impress Phil Neville, the Inter Miami boss and former teammate of David Beckham.

Romeo wore the number 11 jersey and in April he scripted three assists in a match against Philadelphia Union II. He currently plays for Inter Miami II which is the reserve team of David’s Inter Miami franchise.
