The Spice Girls famously sang about making it last forever and it seems as if Victoria Beckham has those exact plans for the money she's earned performing in the iconic girl group.
There's no doubt that the 51-year-old and her husband David, who you might have heard of, are celebrity royalty.
After pairing up during the former footballer's time at Manchester United, they've gone on to have three kids together and have seemingly only expanded their riches after leaving their respective professions, through brand deals and lawsuits with Mark Wahlberg.
Although things with their son Brooklyn have been fragile after he failed to show to David's 50th birthday earlier this year, the family certainly aren't struggling to pay the bills, especially with Victoria still seemingly raking in the cash from her days as Posh Spice.

Despite not performing since the 2012 London Olympics and her last recorded song with the group coming out in 2007, it seems as if the band are well and truly going to never give up on the good times, as they made a £93,000 profit last year, according to documents on Companies House.
Royalties really do seem like the key to success given the staggering amount child actors have earned from TV and film appearances over the years, and the music industry is clearly no different, as Victoria takes home a 1/5 share of that £93,000, which for those of you who can't be bothered to use a calculator, is around £18,600.
It's perhaps no surprise that the Spice Girls are still earning so much, given they have over 12 million fans listening monthly on Spotify, although Victoria's other work as a fashion designer means that monthly listeners probably aren't too much of a concern to Victoria.

However, for those of you who are still hoping that the girls will reunite to spice up your life, then there's some good news, as rumours are still rife about the group coming back together for the 30th anniversary of their debut hit 'Wannabe'. I'll tell you what I want - nearly £20k a year without so much as singing a note.
While it's been reported that Victoria is '90 percent' not in the running to be part of the reunion, former manager Simon Fuller may have found a way around, with potential plans for holographic performers à la ABBA Voyage.
A source told The Sun: "He was the person who came up with the original idea for ABBA and their digital show and he thinks this model could work perfectly for the group."
They continued: "Even Victoria said she would be behind it if all of them had agreed. She wouldn’t stop it.
"Simon knows this plan would mean the band would be making money in their sleep and it would open up their music to a whole new generation."
