Victoria Adams was born April 17, 1974 and has ventured into the world as singer, songwriter, fashion designer and television personality, the latter becoming relevant after her marriage to David Beckham on July 4, 1999 after becoming "Posh and Becks", named by the English media in 1997 shortly after they began dating. They have 3 sons, each with 2 names: Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James, and Cruz David.

Victoria Beckham first encountered fame with the name Posh Spice, as part of the Spice Girls (first called Touch) in 1994. After the comparitively unsuccessful release of their third album, Forever, Posh Spice attempted to make a solo singing career for herself. Her first solo single, "Out Of Your Mind" was released in August 2000 and debuted at #2 following a huge publicity campaign. After her third single "I Wish" was promoted but only actually performed as a remix on Friday Night's All Wright, Beckham was dropped from the label Virgin Records. She was picked up by Telstar Records in 2002 and attempted a new singing career as an urban singer, but this generated criticism from the media, which ultimately described her as a musical failure.

Beckham has appeared in many tv shows and documentaries as herself, and had one acting role in a movie: Spice World. However it is her marriage to David Beckham and her previous career as a singer that made her the fifty-first richest woman in Britain, with David and her combined worth being 112 million pounds. The Beckhams moved to Madrid after David was signed onto the Real Madrid soccer/football team, and in July 2007 moved to Los Angeles after David signed onto the LA Galaxy team, recieving a media-frenzied welcome and moving into a $22 million mansion in Beverly HIlls.
