Brooklyn Beckham's Yacht Rivalry: A Tale of Family Feuds and £85M Superyachts
BECKHAM DRAMA: Brooklyn's £85m Superyacht Fiasco Sparks Family Feud
The once tight-knit Beckham family is on the brink of collapse, and it's all thanks to a bitter battle over wealth and status. At the center of the chaos is eldest son Brooklyn, 26, who has been accused of throwing his weight around with his billionaire father-in-law Nelson Peltz's £85m superyacht.
The luxurious vessel, dubbed Project X, was chartered for a whopping £1.2million per week by Nicola's parents, but Brooklyn's decision to flaunt his wealth on social media has sparked outrage from his own family. Insiders claim that David and Victoria Beckham are "furious" over their son's behavior, which they see as an attempt to one-up them.
Just two days after the Peltz clan jetted back to the US, David and Victoria arrived in the same dock on their £16m yacht, Seven. The smaller vessel may seem like a humble compared to Project X, but it's clear that the Beckhams are trying to keep up with the Joneses.
A source close to the family revealed: "Brooklyn's yacht dwarfs his parents' boat, and it's a financial flex. He's showing off his wealth and status, but deep down, he's still searching for approval from his family."
But Brooklyn's not just playing with fire; he's also been accused of abandoning his own family during their summer break in the South of France. The former Spice Girl Victoria was spotted with her children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, while youngest son Brooklyn was off sailing on Project X.
It's claimed that Brooklyn's absence was a deliberate attempt to stay out of the way as his family tried to have some quality time together. But it seems like someone else was trying to mediate the situation – none other than Sir Elton John!
The music legend has been friends with the Beckhams for three decades, and he's known for being a neutral party in family feuds. According to sources, Elton met Brooklyn and his wife Nicola for lunch in St Tropez, where he "attempted to end ongoing family feud."
But it seems like Elton's efforts were for naught, as Brooklyn has made it clear that he's not interested in patching things up with his parents just yet. In fact, the young couple has been accused of being more focused on their own relationship than fixing their family ties.
In a recent Instagram post, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself waiting for Nicola to try on clothes during a shopping trip. He captioned it: "Me waiting for my Mrs to try on clothes haha." But insiders claim that the post was just a ploy to show off his wealth and status – not exactly the most genuine gesture.
Meanwhile, Nicola has been keeping busy by sharing photos from their lavish summer vacation on social media. The heiress stunned in a black mini dress as she strutted her stuff on the dance floor before enjoying a fireworks display.
But what's really going on behind closed doors? Sources claim that Brooklyn and Nicola will not be featuring in Victoria's upcoming Netflix documentary series, which focuses on her day-to-day life as creative director of her fashion brand. The docuseries is said to focus more on Victoria's "transaction from pop star to businesswoman" – a clear attempt to distance herself from the family drama.
As for Brooklyn and Nicola, it seems like they're happy to keep their distance from the Beckham clan – at least for now. But as this saga continues to unfold, one thing is certain: only time will tell if the Beckhams can put aside their differences and come together as a family once again.
