Victoria Beckham Reveals She Once Gave Her Son a Large Sum of Money to Start a Business — and He Spent It All in Just One Week
Victoria Beckham is known for her business acumen and discipline — but even the most successful parents face unexpected challenges when it comes to raising kids. In a recent candid interview, the fashion designer and former Spice Girl opened up about a moment she hoped would teach her son responsibility but ended in disappointment.
According to Victoria, she once gave her son a significant amount of money to kick-start a small business idea he was passionate about. “I really wanted to support him and let him explore what it’s like to build something from the ground up,” she said. But within just one week, the entire amount was gone — with little to show for it.
“He was enthusiastic, full of ideas… but not exactly practical. It became a very expensive lesson,” Victoria admitted, half-laughing.
Though she didn’t name which of her sons the story was about, fans applauded her honesty and humility. “Every parent wants to believe in their child’s dreams,” one commenter wrote, “but sometimes reality is the better teacher.”
Despite the setback, Victoria emphasized that the experience didn’t dampen her belief in her children — only reinforced the importance of learning through failure. “You can’t succeed without making a few mistakes first,” she added.
