The former spice girl member Victoria Beckham has been named the UK's most successful entrepreneur of 2014.
The former Spice
Girl-turned-fashion designer topped the list compiled for business magazine
Management Today, based on strong sales, the number of jobs she has created and
her estimated overall wealth.
"She's got a real
business, some design talent and some business nous," said Andrew
Saunders, deputy editor at the magazine.
"She gets a lot of
stick for being a celeb fashionista but I don't think that's fair. She has
built something real out of her own celebrity which is quite a contemporary story.
She deserves to be celebrated."
And last month, the
mother-of-four opened her first boutique in London's Dover Street, taking her
employee number to 100.
Philip Beresford, who compiled the list,
commented: "It is her finely tuned business acumen that wins her the top
spot."
Victoria launched her
fashion label in 2008. In 2011, she won Designer Brand of the Year at the
prestigious British Fashion Awards. The same year, she introduced a diffusion
line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham.
Victoria fought off tough
competition to top the list. In second place was Amit & Meeta Patel,
founders of pharmaceutical group Auden Mckenzie.
Third place went to Mahmud
Kamani, the man behind online fashion retailer Boohoo.com, who is worth
£290million.


She was d quiet one of d spice girls. Really lucky.
