His pretty face and family name opened doors.<\/p>\n<p>As a young teen, he started modeling and was, ridiculously, tapped to photograph a<strong> <\/strong>fragrance campaign for Burberry at 16. While he dropped out of art school at Parsons after just a year, he also published a book of photos of his far-flung travels \u2014\u00a0like a picture of an elephant in Kenya with the deep-thinker caption \u201cSo hard to photograph but incredible to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he was a wunderkind and photography was his true calling? Nah. <\/p>\n<p>On to the next dream!

At 26, he\u2019s essentially an influencer with a wife whose father is a billionaire worth even more than the Beckhams.<\/p>\n<p>But Brooklyn isn\u2019t valiantly giving up his family fortune and birthright for the woman he loves. He\u2019s just jumped to a higher tax bracket.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a video of Brooklyn on Instagram <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTkqDdwDG6r\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">showing off luxury timepieces<\/a>, including a Rolex Pepsi and a Patek Philipe, gifted by his father. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a reminder: One can have all the physical\u00a0trappings of a sophisticated life yet be so completely lacking in the experiences and substance that\u00a0make a strong adult.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The Beckham family, minus Brooklyn, posed for a family photo at David Beckham\u2019s 50th birthday in May 2025. <span class=\"credit\">David Beckham \/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit, being raised in the shadow of two global superstars surely presents its own set of issues.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklyn accused his parents of putting \u201cBrand Beckham\u201d before everything else in life, and I\u2019m willing to bet David and Victoria aren\u2019t blameless. They ascended alongside the formation of our modern celebrity culture and are well-practiced in shaping publicity narratives. They relentlessly court the cameras \u2014 and then pretend to be offended when the glare is too hot.<\/p>\n<p>But Brooklyn is, ostensibly, a grown man, and he will soon learn that you only get one set of parents and that nothing can replace the sacred relationship between siblings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Before the phrase \u201cnepo baby\u201d became part of our collective vernacular, Brooklyn Beckham \u2014\u00a0seen here with wife Nicola Peltz \u2014 was the prototype. <span class=\"credit\">nicolaannepeltzbeckham\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Maybe posting his public declaration of independence was gratifying in the moment.
