Victoria Beckham is no longer the top earning WAG in Britain as Cheryl Cole the X Factor Judge has knocked the former Spice Girl off the spot by earning a reported £6.9m this year.
Cole has made her millions at the young age of 26 from her work with Girls Aloud, her own solo career, and from TV sponsorship deals.
Beckham on the other hand, was only able to raise £6.75 all of which came from the Spice Girls reunion and her fashion label.
An unnamed source commented that it was simply a waiting game to see who would finally take Beckham’s spot as the top WAG. The source continued to say that Cole is the reasonable choice since she has a hand in every field from judging X-Factor to the band, to sponsorship by L’Oreal.
A large reason for Cole’s earning power to double in size is her place on the judging panel on X-Factor next to Simon Cowell. She is estimated to be worth about £12m total and earned a solid £2.5m from her music career.
£500,000 of Cole’s earnings came from the L’oreal deal and another £1.25m came from wise property investments.
Despite the large earnings by Cole during the last calendar year, Beckham still owns the title for the wealthiest overall WAG as Coles £12m does little to touch Beckham’s personal fortune of about £45m due to the fact she is married to David Beckham who is easily the most recognizable footballer in the UK.
