NEW YORK – For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s.
After many years in the red, the British pop star-turned-designer’s eponymous fashion company Victoria Beckham Holdings saw revenue growth of more than 50 per cent in 2023, and shrunk its operating losses before tax to £2.9 million (S$5 million), putting it on the road to profitability.

In recent years, it has received millions in cash injections from its owners, which include Beckham and her husband, British entertainment mogul Simon Fuller’s XIX Management and NEO Investment Partners, a private equity firm.
