Victoria Beckham Buys a Supermarket

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Clothing, Style, Rumors,

Victoria Beckham has bought a supermarket. The fashion designer has purchased a Spar convenience store in Battersea, which is within walking distance of her offices in south west London, because she needs more space to house the ever expanding workforce of her fashion empire.

"Victoria's range is going from strength to strength, and expanding at a phenomenal rate. Quite simply, she desperately needs more space. She's been looking at disused warehouses and shops for some time and heard the Spar newsagent around the corner had come on the market. Whilst it's not the most glamorous of operating spaces, it is functional and, once renovated, will provide a perfect base. Obviously she hasn't bought it as her inaugural flagship store but she will be using it primarily as extra work space for her rapidly growing team," a source said.

While the brunette beauty - who has kids Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 10, Cruz, eight, and 20-month-old Harper with soccer star husband David Beckham - is worth millions, the 38-year-old star is said to have negotiated a "great deal" on the building. "Victoria is a canny businesswoman and has negotiated a great deal for herself," the source added.

Ashton Kutcher doesn't care if he loses money.

The Two and a Half Men actor has recently invested a lot of cash into a portfolio of start-up technology companies and while he'd like it to be a success, he says his main motivation is making people happy.

"I'm looking for that thing that's so magical or so disruptive that you don't understand how it works. I really think that technology probably has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. If I don't make money, but what we deliver to people is love and happiness and connectivity and friendship and health, and whatever it is ultimately leads to people's happiness, I'm fine with losing my money."
