Beckham: The Golden Boot of Business
So, you wanna know how much of Inter Miami our very own Golden Balls owns, huh? Well, buckle up, because this is a tale as dramatic as a Messi free-kick.
How Much Of Inter Miami Does Beckham Own |
Beckham: The Footballing Mogul
Let's start with the obvious: David Beckham is not just a pretty face (okay, maybe a little). He's also a shrewd businessman who saw an opportunity in the beautiful game and decided to take a punt. When Major League Soccer offered him an expansion team, Becks was like, "You beauty!" and promptly whipped out his checkbook.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
Now, here's where things get a bit murky. Initial reports had Beckham as the sole owner of Inter Miami. But, as it turns out, owning a football club is a bit like owning a pet dinosaur: it's expensive, it's messy, and you probably need some help.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
The Mas Brothers: The Unsung Heroes?
Enter the Mas brothers. These guys are like the Robin to Beckham's Batman, only without the cape and cowl. They’ve got deep pockets and a love for the game, so they decided to team up with Becks to make Inter Miami a reality.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Fast forward to 2021, and the Mas brothers decided to up their stake in the club, leaving Beckham with a minority shareholding. Think of it like this: Beckham is still the face of the franchise, the one who gets all the glory, but the Mas brothers are the ones actually paying the bills.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
How Much is 10%?
So, how much does Beckham actually own? Well, the official figure is a closely guarded secret, but we can do some rough math. With Inter Miami's valuation skyrocketing thanks to the arrival of Messi (and let's be honest, a bit of Beckham magic), we're talking about a club potentially worth over a billion dollars. So, 10% might not sound like much, but it's still a pretty sweet deal.
In short: Beckham is a major shareholder in Inter Miami, but he's not the sole owner. He's got some pretty wealthy partners in the Mas brothers, who have helped turn his dream into a reality. And while the exact percentage of ownership is a mystery, one thing's for sure: Beckham's golden touch has turned Inter Miami into a club that's worth watching.
