Brooklyn Beckham set to challenge parent's empire by 'getting business advice' from billionaire father-in-law
Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly getting business advice from his hugely successful billionaire father-in-law.
Brooklyn, 27, is said to be making plans that could rival his parents’ famous ‘brand Beckham’ empire and has enlisted the help of Nelson Peltz to get things going.
Peltz, who is father of Brooklyn’s wife Nicola, has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion, so should be ideally placed to offer his son-in-law some business advice.
According to The Sun, Peltz has been advising the former photographer that he should introduce more ‘every day products’ alongside his hot sauce brand Cloud23.

A source told the publication: “Brooklyn has been getting advice from Nicola's dad, as he's the one who suggested that Brooklyn's best prospects probably lie in doing everyday products.
“Using his fame and name to sell easy consumables such as the hot sauce, that can be sold in volume and built up product by product.
“He's told him how it will always generate income until one day he'll have such brand recognition that it will be a logical step to then have loads of restaurants.”
The source went on to say that Brooklyn was ‘listening with open eyes’ to Peltz’s advice and reportedly believes that with his father-in-law's help he can create an even bigger brand than his parents.
The report comes amid his ongoing feud with parents David and Victoria.
The Beckhams cultivated a solid family-image over the years, regularly sharing sweet posts giving an insight into their life with kids Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
However, all of that was turned on its head when it was widely speculated that Brooklyn and his new wife were quietly feuding with his family.
In January this year, Brooklyn issued a bombshell statement, addressing the feud and accusing his famous folks of ‘controlling him’.
"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," he said at the time.
"Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
"I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
"For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Brooklyn went on to say that his mum had ‘hijacked’ his first dance with his new bride leaving the newlyweds keen to renew their vows so they ‘could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment’.
The Beckhams did not respond to the statement at the time but in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in April, Victoria said they had ‘always tried to be the best parents’.
She said: "I think that we've always - we love our children so much.
"We've always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we've been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we've ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children."
