Model and actress Nicola Peltz (31), wife of Brooklyn Beckham, has rebutted claims that she receives an allowance of $1 million a month (about 1.4 billion won) from her billionaire father Nelson Peltz as baseless.
According to U.S. outlet Page Six on the 28th (local time), the claim was first raised through remarks by co-host Marina HIDE on the U.K. podcast "The Rest Is Entertainment." HIDE conveyed on the show that she had heard Nelson Peltz gave his daughter an allowance of $1 million a month.
But a representative for Nicola Peltz immediately told Page Six that the remarks were a completely fabricated story with no source, and strongly denied, "The $1 million a month allowance story is 100% not true." The representative drew a line, calling it "a rumor made up without any basis."
Nicola Peltz is a well-known American actress and model who married Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, in 2022. Her father, Nelson Peltz, is a billionaire well known as an activist investor, and his net worth is reported by Forbes to be about $1.6 billion (about 2 trillion won).
Meanwhile, the podcast also mentioned that Brooklyn Beckham's parents, David and Victoria Beckham, provide their son with financial support that is "not excessive" and that they want their son to be independent. In the process, the controversy spread further with claims that Nelson Peltz compared by asking, "Why not support more?"
This "allowance" rumor drew more attention as it coincided with Brooklyn Beckham publicly revealing conflicts with his parents. Brooklyn recently alleged that his parents tried to interfere with his marriage, and it was reported that he has cut off direct contact with his parents and is communicating only through legal representatives.
However, Nicola Peltz's side has also distanced itself from views that connect the rumor to family conflict. A representative added, "Untrue stories are being excessively amplified."
