When you hear David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg mentioned in the same breath, you might think the famous men were getting together for a photo shoot. However, something completely different is going on. David Beckham is suing the Hollywood leading man for a whopping $10M. Why?
David Beckham And Mark Wahlberg Are Both Easily Recognized
When it comes to famous faces that people all over the world recognize, David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg certainly fit the bill. Both have good looks, toned physiques, and both are worth a lot of money. While Beckham made a name for himself out on the field, Wahlberg got his start in modeling and music before eventually making it big at the box office.
David Beckham retired from football/soccer in 2013 at the age of 38. By this point, he had already grown accustomed to rubbing elbows with other celebs and people of influence. On paper, it would make sense for Beckham and Mark Wahlberg to join forces in some capacity.
Beckham Suing Wahlberg For A Whopping $10M
Based on the latest reports, David Beckham is suing the Transformers actor for $10M. According to Us Weekly, Beckham’s DB Ventures company filed a lawsuit against F45 training. F45 training franchises fitness centers, and Mark Wahlberg owns stake in the company.

Inside David Beckham’s Relationship With Mark Wahlberg
This business relationship between David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg started when Beckham agreed to be F45’s global ambassador. This was back in August of 2021. Back then, the famous pair bonded while they were both living in Los Angeles.
According to legal documents, David Beckham claims he never got the $10M he was offered for this global ambassador role. He was also allegedly promised stocks as a form of compensation, which he also never received, seemingly after share prices took a major dip.
It turns out, Mark Wahlberg’s team of lawyers deny these claims made by Beckham. In fact, Wahlberg’s team even put forth a motion to dismiss. According to the legal team, the accusations made by Beckham are “baseless.”
One of Mark Wahlberg’s lawyers said: “The 209-page, 610-paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up in length what it lacks in merit.”
Certainly, it will be interesting to see what becomes of this legal situation, as well as how it is resolved, especially when two high-profile people with lots of money and influence are on opposing ends.
