Brooklyn Beckham’s DoorDash advert reportedly earned him £750,000 amid family feud

Sources close to David and Victoria reportedly viewed the World Cup ad campaign as insensitive

Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly landed a lucrative payday from his controversial DoorDash advert, which many fans viewed as a tongue-in-cheek reference to his ongoing estrangement from parents David and Victoria Beckham.

According to The Independent, the eldest Beckham son is believed to have earned around $1 million (£750,000) for starring in the World Cup-themed campaign. The advert sparked backlash after Brooklyn appeared to poke fun at his family drama while promoting the food delivery service.

In the full video, Brooklyn says, “You're probably wondering why I'm watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home… It's a long story.” He then hands over a stack of match tickets to a DoorDash driver, telling him, “These can go to someone else. Put them somewhere fun.”

The advert also includes several self-aware nods to the criticism Brooklyn has faced over the years. A burnt pizza and a film camera appear in the background, references to his much-mocked cooking ventures and photography career.

While some fans praised the 27-year-old for taking a humorous approach, others accused him of profiting from a painful family dispute. Sources close to David and Victoria reportedly viewed the campaign as insensitive, particularly given the emotional toll the rift has had on the family.

Brooklyn's relationship with his parents publicly deteriorated earlier this year when he alleged in a social media post that they had tried to undermine his marriage to wife Nicola Peltz. He also claimed that his mother made him feel “uncomfortable” during his 2022 wedding and declared that he had no interest in reconciling.

David Beckham declined to discuss the family tensions when asked about them during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on June 12, 2026, telling reporters that it was “a private matter”. Victoria Beckham later said only that she and her husband “love our children so much” and have always tried to protect them.

Brooklyn and Nicola, who live in the United States, have largely kept their distance from the Beckham family in recent months. Meanwhile, David and Victoria have continued to publicly express their love for their eldest son despite the ongoing estrangement.

The DoorDash campaign has only added another chapter to the family saga, with Brooklyn seemingly embracing the public scrutiny surrounding both his personal life and his unconventional career paths.
