Beckham: The Golden Boot of Business
So, you wanna know how much of Inter Miami our very own Golden Balls owns? Well, buckle up, 'cause this is gonna be a rollercoaster of facts and figures with a sprinkle of sarcasm.
Beckham: The MLS Mogul?
Let's get one thing straight: David Beckham didn't just trade in his football boots for slippers and a pipe. No, sir! He swapped them for a suit and a dream to bring the beautiful game to Miami. And let's just say, he's done a pretty decent job of it.
Now, you might think he's the sole owner of Inter Miami, with a golden throne in the center of the pitch. But, alas, reality is a bit less glamorous. Beckham is indeed a significant owner, but he's not the kingpin.
The Beckham Bargain
Way back when, Beckham secured an expansion team option for a mere $25 million. A steal, you might say. But don't get too jealous. Football (or soccer, if you're that way inclined) is a funny old game, especially when it comes to business.
Fast forward a few years, and Inter Miami's value has skyrocketed. We're talking hundreds of millions, baby! So, while Beckham’s initial investment might have been a drop in the ocean, his current stake is looking pretty sweet.
The Real Owners
To give credit where credit is due, the Mas brothers, Jorge and Jose, are the majority owners of Inter Miami. They've got the deep pockets and the business acumen to match Beckham's star power. So, while Becks might be the face of the franchise, the Mas brothers are the ones calling most of the shots.
But hey, let's not downplay Beckham's role. His influence, both on and off the pitch, has been instrumental in turning Inter Miami into a force to be reckoned with. Plus, let's face it, without him, we wouldn't have Messi in Miami. And that, my friends, is priceless.
