When it comes to drama, there's no shortage of speculation on the interwebs about a possible schism between Nicola Peltz and her new mother-in-law Victoria Beckham.
ICYMI: Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) and her new daughter-in-law Nicola are *allegedly* not getting along. Victoria and Nicola, 27, seemed to be besties before Nicola's marriage to Victoria's son, Brooklyn, and the two were constantly commenting on each other’s Instagrams. Nicola even wore a yellow Victoria Beckham dress in her engagement photos!
But after the wedding, rumors started flying that there was trouble in paradise. FWIW, Nicola says all is good between the two.
Drama aside, there's a lot to unpack here. So, if all this talk of lavish weddings has left wondering how Mrs. Peltz Beckham can afford luxuries like a custom Valentino gown, and an estimated $4 million Florida wedding, you are in good company. Here's everything to know about her parents and their massive net worth.
Who are Nicola Peltz’s parents?
Nicola’s parents are Nelson Peltz, an 80-year-old billionaire investor and businessman, and Claudia Peltz, a former model. The couple has been married for nearly 40 years.
Nicola is one of eight children, including Will, Brad, Matthew, Diesel, twin brothers Zachary and Gregory, and Brittany, according to Newsweek.
How does Nelson Peltz make his money?
Nelson is a founding partner of Trian Fund Management, a multi-billion dollar investment management firm in New York that has stakes in Bank of New York Mellon and Mondelez International, a billion-dollar food company, per Forbes.
He also serves on the board of several high-profile companies including Proctor & Gamble and Unilever, according to Forbes. Oh, and he has a vast real estate portfolio to boot.
What real estate does the couple own?
For starters, the palatial Palm Beach estate that was the site of Nicola and Brooklyn's posh wedding is actually one of Nelson's homes.
The home is worth an estimated $103 million, Architectural Digest reported, and it has 27 (!!) bedrooms, according to The Sun.
Nelson and Claudia also own a mansion in Westchester, New York, that was the former home of Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola. They paid $20.55 million for the property when the pop star and the producer split in 1998, according to Dirt. But they're now selling it for $10 million.
What is Nelson Peltz’s net worth?
Forbes estimates Nelson’s net worth at a whopping $1.7 billion. Like with a B.
What is Claudia Heffner Peltz’s net worth?
Claudia has stayed out of the public eye for the most part, but she is said to have a net worth of about $5 million thanks to her successful modeling career, according to Newsweek.
What is Nicola’s net worth?
Between her fabulously wealthy parents and her acting roles in Bates Motel, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and The Last Airbender, Nicola is doing just fine. Her net worth is about $50 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. (In comparison, Brooklyn is worth about $10 million).
The couple bought a $10.5 million property in Beverly Hills ahead of their wedding, per the New York Post.
And you know you’re doing well for yourself if the Daily Mail says that you want a Beckham to sign “the mother and father of all prenups!"
