The nine-bedroom home was built in 2018 and features a chef’s kitchen, private cinema, gym, spa and swimming pool. David Beckham was seen at the property on Sunday, October 20, arriving in his McLaren 750S which sells for at least £240,000 ($311,000).

The property also has 13 bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, a rooftop lounge, as well as a waterfront deck and mooring for a yacht. Some of the Beckhams’ neighbours include Shakira and Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees.

This also isn’t the couple’s first home in Miami, indeed, as per Daily Mail, they bought a £18 million, five-bedroom penthouse in downtown Miami in 2020. Their other properties include a £31 million townhouse in London's Holland Park and a £12 million Cotswolds country pile.
