Help me understand the Beckham tribe

Firstly I am not knocking them as I do like them.
I don’t understand how Cruz and Romeo and their girlfriends have all this free time to holiday and attend events. Do none of them have jobs? Or is their job to be brand Beckham, even the girlfriends?
And does Harper not attend school?
Looks like a wonderful life to me.

I thought they’d have these type of jobs, not a 9-5 with limited holidays off etc, working in a freelance capacity as and when they want to.

Beautiful people don't work in the way we do. I'm not one of them so it's just an observation.

They all appear to be under-educated and over-promoted individuals.
Can't believe he finally crawled his way to a Knighthood.

Harper goes to a selective London girls school so she must be relatively bright.

The boys get paid a lot of money to attend events. The girlfriends get paid less but still a lot of money to attend with them

I think it is absolutely abhorrent what they have done with those children’s childhoods. They should all have been kept entirely private until they’re 16 and able to decide for themselves it’s perfectly possible - look at Elton John / the Clooneys

one of my kids was part of the same crowd as a proper A listers child. That child was able to live a completely private childhood hanging out with friends, going on the tube, going on holiday because their parent was sensible enough to recognise the value in this. Said child is now relatively well known but nobody got a peek at them pre GCSE and properly post A level

They might enjoy a bit of normality with normal people doing normal jobs. Having genuine friends to chill out at the pub with

They don't do normal people nor go to the pub. Will be Access All Areas and VIP lounges.

Pretty sure the pecking order sorts itself out. Cruise, Clooney and wife, David Beckham all up there. Beckham children further down and only there due to Nepo. Beyonce will be A list, Harper just on the sidelines
