The Fleet Street Fox spoke sense in November 2013 when she said of Beckham: “Take a bow, Savvy Spice. We got you wrong”. This former Spice Girl turned business maven deserves to be admired for her work ethic and success. She won the Designer of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards in 2011 and Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour named her one of the 100 most powerful women in the country in 2013. The wife of the most famous footballer on the planet and a mother of four, Beckham has 7 million followers on Twitter and once commented: “I never try to follow a trend or fashion”. This multi-millionairess most definitely has had the last laugh.
