VICTORIA Beckham might have snubbed the Spice Girls reunion, currently hitting arenas across the country, but she is not missing a trick when it comes to licensing rights.
Posh Spice, who is worth an estimated £350million, is on course for a cool £30,000 payout from the girl band in respect of copyright royalties.
It comes after a prolonged legal dispute over the use of the girl band’s name, branding and music.
A music source said: “There are no hard feelings at all between the girls, this is just a business arrangement and canny businesswoman Victoria simply wants to get what she feels she earned from her previous years in the band.
“She gave the other girls her blessing to plough on with the shows without her and has wished them luck on social media.
“Her lawyers feel the sum of money requested is fair in the circumstances.”
Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria shunned the last night of the Spice Girls tour at Wembley on Saturday, instead joining hubby David at footballer Sergio Ramos’ wedding to TV presenter Pilar Rubio in Seville, Spain.
Meanwhile, rumours are rife that Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton will announce an Australian leg to the tour.
Another opportunity for VB to claim some royalties.
During last night’s final show at Wembley Arena, Geri, 46, apologised to her band mates and the group’s fans for quitting in 1998.

She said: “It suddenly occurred to me this afternoon, I need to say something I should have said a long time ago: I’m sorry.
“I’m sorry I left. I was just being a brat. It is so good to be back with the girls that I love.”
Ginger Spice walked out of the girl band in 1998 claiming to be suffering from exhaustion.
Two years later the band went on a hiatus.
