Brooklyn Beckham bags £100k advertising deal with Chinese mobile firm as he shows off £30k Merc
His fee should come in handy for insuring his latest car, a £30k a year Mercedes
BROOKLYN Beckham has shot his first big-money advert at 17.
His fee from Chinese mobile phone firm Huawei is believed to be in six figures, which should come in handy for insuring his latest car.
It will cost him £30,000-a-year for his £37,000 automatic Mercedes C-Class, or £2,600 a month.
Brooklyn, the eldest of David and Victoria’s four children, recently passed his driving test after starting lessons following his March birthday.
He filmed the advert yesterday before driving off in the 145mph car in Kensington, central London.
A family source said: “Huawei went for Brooklyn because he’s young, well-presented and seen as a good role model for kids his age. He’s got millions of social media followers and this is a good way to engage a load of youngsters.
“People will think he’s only got this job because of his rich parents but he doesn’t take anything for granted. He knows he’s lucky.”
The £30,000 insurance quote came from Only Young Drivers, one of only two firms willing to offer cover.
Amanda Stretton, of comparison site Confused.com, said: “If you’re getting a modern and powerful car, be prepared to pay significantly more as expensive cars tend to have more expensive accidents.
“Unless they are Brooklyn Beckham, new drivers should think wisely about their first car and shop around for the best insurance deal.”
Brooklyn has just returned from seeing actress girlfriend Chloe Grace Moretz, 19, in Los Angeles.
The cute pair were first rumoured to be together back in April after being spotted together at a restaurant in LA.
They confirmed their romance in May and have since been spotted enjoying a number of glitzy star-studded events together.
