David and Victoria Beckham are poised to make millions off the back of their son’s wedding as they plan to boost the products they can sell by seemingly turning the nuptials into a sales pitch. The 45-year-old football star and his 46-year-old wife are proud parents to 21-year-old Brooklyn Beckham who this month proposed to girlfriend of nine-months, Nicola Peltz. Dave and Vicky are hoping to expand their business reach by throwing a lavish wedding for their son and his 25-year-old billionaire heiress fiancée in America - where they can also plug all their products. According to The Sun on Sunday, the pair are hoping to flog David’s whisky brand Haig through the wedding, while Vitoria is gearing-up to launch her beauty brand in the USA around the same time.

The pair are also tipped to spend more time in the USA themselves due to David’s commitments to the MLS football team in Miami. A business insider told the publication: “These are exciting times for David and Victoria. They were always looking to spend more time in the States because of David’s club commitments. “But now, with the wedding and Brooklyn moving to the US, they are redoubling their efforts. “Victoria has trademarked her brand across the Pond… [where she will] launch of her anti-ageing serum and various other VB beauty products. “And, Nicola’s dad is supremely well connected and has offered to help in any way he can.” Indeed, Nicola’s billionaire businessman father is a supporter of current US President, Donald Trump.

While he has also held high-level roles in businesses including personal health giant Procter & Gamble and fast-food chain Wendy’s. The Beckham family are said to be worth £350 million - so aren't exactly strapped for cash. However, the couple showed signs that their star power is beginning to wane after relentless fame-hungry years in the spotlight as reports last year showed they made a joint loss of income for the first time. While Victoria's fashion brand has been blasted as a "failing vanity project" by the likes of Piers Morgan following years of low sales and recent reports of staff lay-offs.
