No, he's not poor and we don't really feel sorry for him. But he is one of many celebrities estimated to have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars through the depreciating value of their cars, the UK's
Daily Mail reports.
While Mr Posh Spice has had his contract extended to stay with Italian team AC Milan until late May, and he has a £128 million ($273 million) contract with LA Galaxy, the international credit crunch is starting to take its toll on brand Beckham.
A survey of the values of cars owned by famous motorists by Britain's City Car Club revealed that Beckham's convoy of luxury cars has depreciated £181,322 ($386,061) in value over the past year.
