“Brooklyn has got the world at his fingertips and could have a life of luxury if he wanted — but the lad is not that way inclined,” said a source.

Brooklyn Beckham, David and Victoria Beckham’s 15-year-old son, has got a weekend job in a coffee shop. Brooklyn is their oldest son and he is working as a barista because his multi-millionaire parents want him to learn the value of money and not take it for granted.

He is probably working for the minimum wage of between £2.68 and £3.50-per-hour, reported parentdish.co.uk. Reportedly, Brooklyn he has already done several shifts serving coffee in London.

“Brooklyn has got the world at his fingertips and could have a life of luxury if he wanted — but the lad is not that way inclined,” said a source.

“Brooklyn and his three siblings have all had a great start in life  — much better than most. But David and Victoria want them to know what hard work is like. They’re chuffed they’re back in London too, as American children are more spoilt and that’s not what they want to instill in their own kids,” added the source. “Brooklyn wants to make his own money and be his own man. His mum and dad are delighted and it’s a testament to their parenting skills. Instilling a solid work ethic early will be good for him.”
