" David Beckham paid himself a whopping \u00C2\u00A314 million salary in 2012, a 6% increase on his wage the previous year, according to a new report published yesterday (October 8). If you&amp;#039;re struggling to get your head around that massive figure, Best in Showbiz has attempted to demonstrate the sheer scale of Beckham&amp;#039;s earnings in figures that us average members of the public can understand, drawing up a handy shopping list for Goldenballs in the process. Here&amp;#039;s what David Beckham could get for his \u00C2\u00A314m... 1,401,401 pairs of his H&amp;amp;amp;M pants (\u00C2\u00A39.99 a pop):   Any excuse to print these pictures... Or 701,754 bottles of his new fragrance, Classic (RRP \u00C2\u00A319.95):  Imagine the stink that would radiate from Chez Beckham after this bulk buy. 3,023,758 copies of Victoria&amp;#039;s 2001 self-titled debut album (\u00C2\u00A34.63 online):  Considering the CD does not include Vic&amp;#039;s brilliant Dane Bowers/True Steppers collaboration &amp;#039;Out of Your Mind&amp;#039;, that&amp;#039;s a bit steep. Nice panther, though! Spend just 0.2% of that removing all his tattoos:  Becks claims that he doesn&amp;#039;t regret any of his tattoos, but he ain&amp;#039;t getting any younger, and ink doesn&amp;#039;t look so great on wrinkly skin. He could get them all removed in 71 painful hours for an estimated \u00C2\u00A337,920. Or get 12,552 new ones:  Based on the figure provided above by WhatClinic.com, Beckham&amp;#039;s 34 tattoos work out at an average cost of \u00C2\u00A31,115.29 each. 103,703 dinners at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (\u00C2\u00A3135 a head for the Menu Prestige):  It&amp;#039;s the least Becks could do after pulling out of the pair&amp;#039;s restaurant venture. Ramsay is not somebody we&amp;#039;d want to anger. 1,752,190 Gillette Mach 3 razors (RRP \u00C2\u00A37.99):  Industry insiders blamed Beckham for the slump in razor blade sales since his deal with Gillette ended in 2007, claiming that too many people wanted to copy his &amp;quot;rugged&amp;quot; look. We think he owes the company a bit of an apology. Spend 0.13% of that on acting classes:  If it&amp;#039;s true that Beckham wants to move into acting, he&amp;#039;ll need some lessons! One year at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, which boasts Grace Kelly, Robert Redford and Kurt Douglas as former students, costs $29,900 (roughly \u00C2\u00A318,700). There are a few extra expenses too, but we&amp;#039;re sure Becks could cough up the estimated $45 make-up kit fee. Or just a buy a role in a movie:  Becks sadly wasn&amp;#039;t cast in Guy Ritchie&amp;#039;s upcoming Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie, despite the Snatch director singing his praises when they worked together on an underwear commerical. Apparently, Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer and Hugh Grant were deemed safer choices. Maybe Beckham could buy his way in though by reimbursing 29% of the movie&amp;#039;s $75m (\u00C2\u00A347m) budget. Bring up 94 more children:  Both David and Victoria have hinted that they wouldn&amp;#039;t mind another child to join Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. But why stop at just one more? According to an August 2013 report, the average cost of raising a child until 18 is now \u00C2\u00A3148,000 - which means the Beckhams can, if they want, bring up another 94. 16.47% of Gareth Bale (bought by Real Madrid for \u00C2\u00A385m):  We&amp;#039;ve worked out that&amp;#039;s roughly half of a leg.
