Victoria Beckham spent a ‘mind-blowing’ amount of money on plants for her office as she details her humiliating spending blunders and admits she ‘lost her way’ in new documentary
Victoria Beckham’s new Netflix documentary has revealed the Spice Girls singer’s fashion business lost £70k on plants as she details how people were ‘scared to say no’. The new series comes after Victoria featured in her husband’s 2022 docu-series, which left fans wanting more from Victoria on their screens.
In an honest and open discussion, Victoria, 51, took accountability for her spending and admitted she had ‘lost her way’ and needed to ‘change’.
Victoria’s business partner David Belhassen, revealed the singer turned fashion icon was spending £70,000 a year on plants for the office, and a further £15,000 a year to have them watered.
Victoria candidly said on the show: “The waste was mind-blowing. I was flying chairs from one side of the world to the other. I think part of the reason is some people were scared to say no. If I am honest, it is the power of celebrity. People thought I wasn’t used to hearing no.”

Reflecting on the difficult time, the mum of four took full accountability and admitted she was the one who needed to change. She said: “I will hold my hands up and be accountable. I was in debt, there was a lot I had to change. I realised I had lost my way. I needed to put Victoria Beckham back into Victoria Beckham.”
Things turned around when her business partner, David Belhassen, joined the company and took a look at the books. He said: “For years, she had people telling her what she wanted to hear. I remember one of the expenses was the office plants, because she loves plants, and it was costing like 70,000 a year. And then there was someone who was coming to water the plants for 15,000 a year, and that’s only the beginning.”
He added: “So I went to her, and I decided to just tell the truth exactly the way it is, and I didn’t know how she would react. And I said, Victoria, we have to change everything, restructure the business, and that’s going to be painful. And when I finished, she just listened, and she left a little silence.”
The world premiere of her new Netflix series took place on Wednesday 8 October and the former Spice Girl and fashion designer was the guest of honour for the event at the Curzon Mayfair cinema.
She was accompanied by husband David, 50, and the power couple arrived looking like a million bucks as they held hands for photos. Victoria stunned in a plunging white dress with a matching blazer draped over her shoulders.
David cut a smart figure in a black suit as he supported his wife at the event. Their children Cruz, Romeo and Harper (and even Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel) were all in attendance, wearing variations of black and white.
