With his partner Peter May and an investment vehicle they owned, the duo acquired new companies such as Triangle Industries and Snapple. The latter they bought from Quaker Oats and later sold it to Cadbury. Through their company Trian Partners, Peltz and May also acquired 15% of the fast food brand Wendy’s in 2005. Peltz stepped down as the chairman of the corporation in 2024. He also serves as the non-executive director of Unilever.

Through all these companies which Peltz bought and sold, he built a billion-dollar empire. According to reports by Forbes, the businessman is worth $1.6 billion (Rs 14k crore). He has two kids from his first marriage and three from the marriage with Claudia.

David and Victoria Beckham

Brooklyn has made it clear that he does not want to reconcile with his family and had earlier even sent them a legal notice, which directed them to make contact only through lawyers. However, the Beckhams have three more children: Romeo, Cruz and Harper. According to Celebrity Net Worth, both David and Victoria Beckham are worth $450 million (Rs 4000 crore) each, and both have built that net worth all by themselves.

While Victoria had some backing from her parents, who made it big during the tech boom of the 1980s, she forged her own path as a singer and fashion designer. Her time with the girl group Spice Girls brought her global fame, which helped her transition into designing.

David, on the other hand, came from a much more humble background. His mother was a hairdresser, and his father worked as a kitchen fitter. His football career had him playing for teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, PSG, and LA Galaxy. David established himself as one of the best wingers to ever grace the game, and that skill earned him big and lucrative contracts. He currently owns a sizeable chunk of the Inter Miami football club, which features players like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.
