David Beckham, the man, the myth, the Miami soccer mogul (kind of). We all know he's involved with Inter Miami, but the question remains: just how deep are his pockets in that ownership pool?
Well, my friends, it's a bit of a transatlantic treasure hunt. Let's grab our metaphorical pith helmets and dig into the fascinating, and slightly murky, world of MLS ownership.
From Spice Up Your Life to Spice Up Your Backline
Back in the day (because apparently everything is "back in the day" now), Beckham used a special MLS rule to snag a franchise for a cool $25 million. That's like buying a slightly used yacht compared to what most franchises go for. This was basically a golden ticket for future Beckham bucks.
Enter the Mas Brothers: The Money, the Muscle, the Mustache (Maybe)
But Beckham wasn't going solo. He joined forces with the Mas brothers, Jorge and Jose, who are Miami business royalty. They brought the serious cash while Beckham brought, well, Beckham-ness. It was a match made in marketing heaven!
The Great Ownership Bake-Off: Who Gets the Bigger Slice?
Here's where things get interesting. We don't have the exact percentage Beckham owns. Think of it like a secret family recipe – closely guarded and all that. However, in 2021, there was a major ownership shakeup. The Mas brothers bought out some other investors, upping their stake to a whopping 90%. That leaves Beckham with a respectable, but definitely minority, share.

While we can't say for sure, estimates place Beckham's ownership around 10%. Hey, even 10% of a potentially billion-dollar club (thanks, Messi!) ain't bad.
