Victoria Beckham has just added a new title to her growing list of accolades - Britain's most successful entrepreneur.
The 40-year-old singer turned fashion designer was named top of a list of the country's 100 business people, beating Sir James Dyson and Dame Vivienne Westwood. It comes after the turnover of Mrs Beckham's fashion business has risen from £1 million to £30 million in just five years.
The title was awarded to the former pop star by Management Today after the business magazine ranked scores of entrepreneurs by their success over the past five years.
Born in Herfordshire, England in April 1974, Victoria Adams Beckham's big break came in 1994 when she joined the British girl group, the Spice Girls. As "Posh Spice," Beckham helped the girl group become one of the most successful pop acts of the '90s, selling over 55 million records.
After the Spice Girls split, she was signed to Virgin Records and Telstar Records and had four UK Top 10 singles.
