 LONDON (AP) - David Beckham earned nearly 10 million pounds ($16.5 million) from personal sponsorship deals during his first full season with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The England midfielder's latest accounts show that his marketability was unaffected by his move from Real Madrid to the United States, where football is a minority sport.
Newly released figures from the official British company registry show that Beckham's income from his Footwork Productions company in the year ending Dec. 31, 2008, soared by 91 percent from the previous year to 9.97 million pounds.
