David Beckham, known as much for his off-field, high-profile endeavors and his marriage to Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham as for his iconic exploits on the soccer pitch, is retiring from active play. Beckham is finishing his career as a member of the Paris Saint-Germain club, where he donated his season’s salary to local children’s charities. Last year alone, the 38-year-old earned in excess of $37 million in marketing deals from such brands as Adidas, H&M and Samsung.
