Beckingham Palace… Miami! Grinning David Beckham inspects his new $77m waterfront mega-mansion as he and Victoria plan to take their throne as ‘King and Queen of Miami’
David Beckham has been spotted arriving to inspect his newly-purchased £60million Miami mega-mansion in a flashy McLaren supercar.
The football legend has splashed out with his wife Victoria on the impressive nine-bedroom property which keeps him near his team Inter Miami CF, which he co-owns.
The home in Florida, which was only built in 2018, comes with a range of stunning features including a chef’s kitchen, private cinema, gym, spa and swimming pool.
And Beckham was photographed smiling for the cameras on Sunday after driving into the gated property in his McLaren 750S which sells new for at least $311,000 (£240,000).
He appeared relaxed as he viewed the home which also boasts 13 bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, a rooftop lounge and 124ft of frontage on Biscayne Bay.

Pop star Shakira and Bee Gee Barry Gibb will be among the Beckhams’ neighbors at the home
Beckham wore a pink Inter Miami hat, white T-shirt, black trousers and pink Adidas ‘Originals x Lionel Messi Samba’ trainers – named after the Miami player.
Pop star Shakira and Bee Gee Barry Gibb will be among the Beckhams’ neighbors at the home, where they also have a waterfront deck and mooring for a yacht.
Earlier this month a local property source claimed that the Beckhams’ offer on the property had been accepted, and they plan to move in early next year.
The Beckhams have had a base in Florida for years, and also spent about £18million on a full-floor five-bedroom penthouse in downtown Miami in 2020.
The couple already have a property portfolio which includes a £31million townhouse in London’s Holland Park and a £12million Cotswolds country pile.
Long-time celebrity columnist Jose Lambiet told the Mail earlier this month: ‘I don’t think people necessarily remember that David Beckham was a football player.
‘They now think of him as a society guy, and the ownership of the soccer team has made him a stalwart in South Florida.
‘Miami is a place where he and Victoria can be comfortable because people are used to famous faces here – there are hundreds of celebrities.’
It is understood that the whole Beckham family had already been to see the property before the latest visit by Beckham, with a source saying that ‘everyone loves it’.
They added: ‘Although it’s David who has the work connection in Miami, the impression from the estate agents is that Victoria has been pushing for the move.

‘What we hear is she wants to have a sort of salon there where she can gather interesting famous and wealthy people. It’s going to be a social scene but the idea is she can turbo-charge her fashion and make-up brands by juicing those links.
‘It seems she wants to be the Queen of Miami and to lean into all the celebrity links which come from the football club.’
Former England captain Beckham exercised an option in his contract with his former Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy to buy an expansion franchise in 2014.
He launched the team in Miami in 2018, before confirming it would be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami, or Inter Miami CF. It made its MLS debut in 2020.
The former Manchester United midfielder finished his playing career in 2013 with 718 appearances, 127 goals and 214 assists. He played 115 times for England.
