Victoria Beckham has been named the UK’s most successful entrepreneur. The artist formerly known as Posh Spice has turned over £30m in the last 12 months, along with creating lots of jobs, racking up loads of sales and generally being worth quite a lot of dosh.
"It is her finely tuned business acumen that wins her the top spot," said Philip Beresford, who compiled the list for business magazine Management Today. We’ll be honest, that’s not a publication we thought we’d ever be quoting on heatworld.
Since opening her first store in London’s Mayfair five years ago, VB’s business has gone from turning over £1m to £30m, and her staff has rocketed from three people to one hundred. Good, huh?
Just as a little Monday nostalgia, here’s what Victoria Beckham was wearing about ten years ago. Just drink that in. Drink it in. And remember, someone who dressed in some leopard skin and a curtain offcut with snakeskin pockets is now heading up a massive fashion firm, and is the UK’s most successful entrepreneur.
Feel better now? Of course you do.
Victoria beat off - no, not like that - Auden McKenzie and Mahmud Kamani, the man behind online fashion retailer Boohoo.com, which is worth £290m.
Now here's a gallery of David and Victoria's maddest looks
David and Victoria Beckham's maddest looks!
1 of 15Nothing says 'she said yes' like matching turtlenecks.
2 of 15Don't pull that string whatever you do...□
3 of 15Jeez. Aren't you guys hot?
4 of 15Victoria decides she likes the feel of hot leather. While Dave tries a little hot snakeskin on for size.
5 of 15Someone just watched The Matrix then...
6 of 15Seriously guys. Enough with the leather already.
7 of 15Experimenting with cowprint, are we Vic? But in fairness, you had to compete with Dave's bandana somehow.
8 of 15Lovely fleece. We think our aunt Sue has a similar one for her trips to the Lake District.
9 of 15Ohhhhh, so you actually thought the bandana looked good, did you?
10 of 15Erm, John Travolta called. He said he wants his flares back...
11 of 15What's going on here then? Dave's been routing around in Rik Waller's wardrobe again we assume.
12 of 15Nothing says high-end fashion like oil-slick groin-high boots
13 of 15In fairness, Becks actually looks OK here. But what's up with VB's jungle-inspired number?
14 of 15Wow.
