David and Victoria Beckham are reputedly worth £165 million.

The soccer superstar and his former Spice Girl spouse have made £20 million in the past year, mainly thanks to the success of Victoria's fashion line Victoria Beckham, which has won critical acclaim as well as attracting A-list clients.

The ex-pop star - who is currently pregnant with the couple's fourth child - has recently added handbags to her range, meaning her profit margins could increase even further.

In addition to her fashion range, Victoria signed a multi-million pound deal with luxury car manufacturer Range Rover.

But it's not just the 37-year-old star who has been racking in the money in the Beckham household.

David, 36, has been paid £56 million before tax in the past two years by his soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy, while he recently announced a multi-million pound contract to become Samsung's global brand ambassador for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The Beckhams' wealth is revealed in the 2011 Sunday Times Rich List, which will be published on Sunday (08.05.11).

The annual list also reveals TV chef Jamie Oliver is now worth £106 million - a £41 million increase on last year - while Hollywood couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have increased their fortune by £5 million to £180 million.
