And Brooklyn Beckham, 22, is marrying into a family to rival his own, with American actress Nicola, 27, no stranger to a life of wealth and fame, as her businessman father Nelson Peltz, 79, is estimated to be worth £1.3 billion.
Nelson, a former top Trump supporter, shares eight of his ten children with his third model wife of 35 years Claudia Heffner Peltz, and the pair count a 27-bedroom mansion complete with ice hockey rink and a flock of albino peacocks, as well as a £76million, 44,000sq ft home in Palm Beach – the reported wedding venue – as their homes.
Despite being born into wealth, Nicola’s siblings have also carved out their own successful careers, with her brother Brad, 32, an ice hockey player, and Will, 35, an American actor best known for his roles in Unfriended and Men, Women & Children.
Brooklyn, whose footballer father David and Spice Girl turned fashion designer mother Victoria boast a combined worth of £335million, met Transformers: Age of Extinction star Nicola at Coachella in 2019, and the pair had been dating nine months when he proposed to her with a £250,000 diamond ring in 2020.

‘We exported them generously. They were given to Europe and then they went to Asia. Now it’s time to bring those jobs back.’
