Victoria Beckham — Spice Girl to Fashion Empire

Victoria was already famous as Posh Spice (the Spice Girls sold 100 million records), but marrying David Beckham in 1999 created the most powerful celebrity couple in British history. She then built Victoria Beckham Beauty and her eponymous fashion label — which finally turned profitable in 2023 after $64 million in losses. Combined with David's $450 million fortune, the Beckhams are worth $850 million. Victoria has 33 million Instagram followers vs. David's 88 million, but her fashion brand has legitimacy his doesn't. She transcended "WAG" so completely that calling her one is now considered an insult.
