Brooklyn Beckham's bride-to-be has a family who make the Beckhams look skint

Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, is set to marry heiress Nicola Peltz this weekend. The pair are tying the knot in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday, April 9 with a string of famous faces rumoured to be in attendance.

The wedding is taking place on an estate owned by 27-year-old Nicola's father. The American actress, who has starred in Bates Motel and Transformers: Age of Extinction, is the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz.

And while model Brooklyn, 23, may have extremely rich parents, who have amassed a staggering £343million fortune, it is dwarfed by that of Nicola's family. The Peltz's fortune sits at around £1.3billion.

Nicola’s businessman father Nelson Peltz, 69, grew up from a former truck driver into one of America’s wealthiest men. Known throughout the States for a fearsome reputation in business, the father-of-10 was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York.

He started driving delivery trucks for his father’s frozen food business before he and his brother assembled the biggest packaging company in the world, Triangle Industries, which was sold in 1989, netting him around £667m.

The family estate on Palm Beach where the couple will exchange their vows at this weekend's £3million wedding - is worth a staggering £71million, reports The Mirror. Preparations are well underway at the stunning oceanfront mansion.

Brooklyn and Nicola's nuptials come nearly two years after Brooklyn proposed in July 2020. Sharing the news at the time, Brooklyn posted a picture on social media and wrote: "I asked my soulmate to marry me, and she said yes xx I am the luckiest man in the world. I promise to be the best husband and the best daddy one day. I love you, baby xx."

In her own post, Nicola said: "You've made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life by your side. Your love is the most precious gift".
