SPICE Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham has topped a list of Britain's 100 foremost entrepreneurs in 2014, according to a leading business magazine.
Mother-of-four Beckham, who shot to fame as Posh Spice and later became the world's most famous WAG by marrying David Beckham, beat heavyweights such as Sir James Dyson to lead a list compiled by Management Today (MT).
The 40-year-old's first fashion boutique in London's Mayfair opened in September and her Victoria Beckham brand has seen revenue grow in five years from a turnover of £1m to £30m this year, the magazine said.
Also in the top 10 was multi-millionaire financier Jonathan Ruffer whose investments in the North-East include Auckland Castle, and the conversion of a former Bishop Auckland bank into a gallery for major works of Spanish art.
