" David Beckham&amp;#039;s decision to donate his entire five-month salary from Paris Saint-Germain was reportedly his wife Victoria Beckham&amp;#039;s idea. The former Manchester United footballer announced that he will not be paid for his move to the club last week, with his \u00C2\u00A33 million wages going to a Parisian children&amp;#039;s charity.  Sources close to the Beckham family have claimed that Victoria suggested he donate the money as he is passionate about helping children, reports The Mirror. An insider said: &amp;quot;Victoria thought giving money to such a good cause would be a brilliant and kind thing to do. &amp;quot;She and David don&amp;#039;t need the cash, they have plenty already. But they do like helping others. &amp;quot;Victoria knows David loves playing football, he has never been doing it for the money. And he has always been keen on helping youngsters who are having a tough time. So when she mentioned it, he thought it was a great plan.  &amp;quot;They then told their management, who agreed it was a lovely, selfless thing for him to do.&amp;quot; A local children&amp;#039;s charity in Paris will receive his \u00C2\u00A3150,000-a-week salary when he begins playing for the team later this month. Some quarters have described the move as a media stunt, claiming that Paris Saint-Germain has hired Beckham for his commercial appeal rather than his footballing ability. It has also been claimed that Beckham could earn more than his actual wage packet through shirt sales. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
