Beckham's income rises to $26 million

David Beckham earned more than $26 million
from personal sponsorship deals in his final
full year as a footballer.
The former England captain retired from
playing in May after five months at Paris Saint-
Germain, having left Major League Soccer in
December 2012 following more than five years
at the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The latest accounts for Beckham's company,
Footwork Productions, showed that turnover
rose in 2012 by 10 percent to $26.6 million.
During 2012, Beckham was highly visible at the
London Olympics, both in the opening
ceremony and with his Samsung sponsorship.
The accounts show the 39-year-old former
Manchester United and Real Madrid player
received a salary of $22.7 million from his
company.
The accounts don't include Beckham's $4
million salary from the Galaxy.
