Brooklyn Bckham? Yes the guy who drives McLaren P1 (of which 375 were produced - here) which I believe he paid from his "photographer" (here) job and his "modelling career" (here) and his "hot sauce" business (here). Kind note: Imagine your father is not David Beckham and your mother is not Victoria-posh-spice. Imagine not being born into wealth. Now imagine wanting to "divorce your parents" because you "do not want to reconcile with" them, while assuring everyone that "(you are) not being controlled, (you are) standing up for (yourself) for the first time in (your) life." Actually Beckham-Peltz as he is now known continues his tirade and spills a lot of tea. The Peltz if you do not know comes from this wife Nicola - actor and director no less.
Now, not to underestimate his financial wits, if you are going to divorce wealthy parents (as of today the Beckham parents are estimated to be worth 475 Million Dollars), might as well get adopted by even wealthier ones (Nikola's father is estimated to be worth 1.7 Billion Dollars). It seems that the new love nest Nicola and Brooklyn bought - estimated at a cool 16 Million Dollars - came directly from a trust registered under Nicola's name. That's one way to "blend" into another family "like Beckham".
Now of course, when your pictures are this "controversial" in quality and you still found someone to publish your book, when you make spaghetti in seawater (when abroad a yacht!) and still get youtube views, when you drive such a very rare car, and have a "hot sauce" under your name distributed on as many high end grocery outlets as possible. Maybe, just maybe, like when Princess Kate who happens to be an amateur photographer and who - in 2017 - was awarded an honorary lifetime membership and Patronage of the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) a member of the public quipped "perhaps she knows someone".
Which brings us to her own brother in law - yes, Prince Harry himself (here). Funny, reports emerged that Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz hired Jenny Afia, a prominent British lawyer at the Schillings law firm who previously represented Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But again, it is so easy to speak from a place of privilege. But seriously? Apparently even to "blend it like Beckham" might not mean much as well, there is full disintegration there. I am still not in favor or hanging your full dirty laundry in front of anyone.
Still, when you have over 70 tattoos on your body dedicated to your wife as Brooklyn Beckham-Peltz has (with her eyes tattooed on your neck), well, suddenly a 16 million Dollar house seems a small price to receive in return.
