London: Ace midfielder David Beckham has raked in a whopping 10.7 million pounds last year in sponsorship deals, doubling his payout from the previous 12 months.

Beckham boosted his fortune by endorsing a range of goods including Armani and adidas.

It is believed his off-the-pitch earnings were given a massive boost by the success of his raunchy Armani underwear ads, the Daily Star reports.

The dad-of-three's firm Footwork Productions enjoyed a massive cash injection in 2008, according to Companies House statistics.

After taking home 5.2 million pounds in 2007, Becks' sponsorship pay packet grew to a handsome 10.7 million pounds last year

The figures show the England star raked in almost 30,000 pounds a day, without his huge football salary.

It proved a lucrative 12 months as Beckham also kept his crown as the world's richest footballer in the annual players' rich list.
