Reports indicate that actress and model Nicola Peltz receives a monthly allowance of $1 million from her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz. This substantial financial support has drawn attention, especially when compared to the assistance provided to her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, by his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
While the Beckhams are widely recognized in popular culture, Nelson Peltz’s wealth significantly surpasses theirs. The businessman boasts a net worth of approximately $1.6 billion, compared to the Beckhams’ estimated $680 million. Media personality Marina Hyde commented on this disparity during an episode of The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, stating that the Beckhams have limited the financial support they offer Brooklyn, with the hope he will achieve independence.
Hyde revealed that Nelson Peltz reportedly informed the Beckhams about his daughter’s allowance, saying, “I give my daughter a million dollar a month allowance.” This dynamic raises questions about the differing financial philosophies between the two families.
Concerns have surfaced regarding Brooklyn Beckham’s living arrangements and perceived dependency. The couple resides in a luxurious £11 million mansion in Hollywood, which is primarily owned by Nicola. Sources suggest that the Peltz family feels the Beckhams have not adequately supported their son financially, which has led to tensions between the two families.
A source familiar with the situation told The Sun in June 2025, “Money, so the saying goes, is the root of all evil. Certainly, in the case of the Beckhams vs Peltzes, it’s proven… tricksy.” The source noted that David and Victoria Beckham, who come from humble beginnings, are cautious about providing Brooklyn with large sums of money, believing that it would send the wrong message.
The marriage between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz in 2022 was lavish, with Nelson reportedly spending $3.5 million on the wedding. This display of generosity exemplifies his commitment to welcoming Brooklyn into the family.
Nelson Peltz’s business acumen has been widely acknowledged. He co-founded Triangle Industries, which he transformed into the largest packaging company globally before selling it in 1988 for hundreds of millions. Rather than retire, he shifted to activist investing, acquiring significant stakes in underperforming companies and advocating for strategic changes.
Beyond his business achievements, Nelson Peltz is the father of ten children, having two with his first wife, Cynthia Abrams, and eight with his second wife, former model Claudia Peltz. Their children include successful individuals in various fields, reflecting the family’s diverse talents and interests.
As the Peltz and Beckham families navigate their relationship, the financial dynamics and differing values surrounding wealth and independence continue to play a pivotal role in their interactions.
