David Beckham and Inter Miami: A Lasting Partnership
When David Beckham joined Major League Soccer in 2007, his contract included a unique option to purchase an expansion team for $25 million. Years later, that vision materialized as Inter Miami CF. Building a top-tier club required serious capital, with the total investment—covering facilities, operating expenses, and expansion fees—reaching between $200 million and $250 million.
Does Beckham still own the club? Absolutely. In September 2021, the ownership group underwent a major consolidation. Beckham, alongside brothers Jorge Mas and Jose Mas, officially bought out co-owners Marcelo Claure and Masayoshi Son, making them the sole owners of the franchise.
Today, Beckham remains an active co-owner and the global face of Inter Miami. Alongside managing owner Jorge Mas, he has helped elevate the team into an international headline-grabber, culminating in landmark signings like Lionel Messi and cementing Miami as a major soccer destination.
