Victoria Beckham has topped a list of Britain’s 100 foremost entrepreneurs in 2014, according to a leading business magazine.

Mother-of-four Victoria, who shot to fame as Posh Spice and later became the world’s most famous WAG by marrying David Beckham, beat heavyweights such as Sir James Dyson to lead a list compiled by Management Today (MT).

It’s her finely-tuned business acumen that wins her the top spot

The 40-year-old’s first fashion boutique in London’s Mayfair opened in September and her Victoria Beckham brand has seen revenue grow by 2,900 per cent in five years from a turnover of £1 million to £30 million this year, the magazine said.

Philip Beresford, the man behind the Sunday Times Rich List, wrote in MT: “It’s her finely-tuned business acumen that wins her the top spot in MT’s 2014 ranking of Britain’s top 100 entrepreneurs.”

Two other fashion retailers made it into the top 10, including Mahmud Kamani, of Boohoo.com, who was third, and Julian Dukerton, of Supergroup, home of the Superdry brand, fourth.
