$16 million mansion on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah

- A Gift from England football star  

David Beckham to the parents of his pop singer wife Victoria

Beckham has given the keys to the waterfront villa on the palm-shape artificial island to his in-laws Tony and Jackie Adams, parents of ‘Posh' Spice Girls singer, Victoria.

David realised he was not going to be able to spend any time in Dubai. He's got his commitments in Los Angeles and it's a long trip, especially when he still has to spend a lot of time in London - so he discussed it with Victoria and decided that the Dubai place would be a really special present for her parents.

The house, which the Beckhams bought in 2002 for $1.6 million, has rocketed in value by ten times due to Dubai's rise as a world-class tourism destination.
