David Beckham is set to be given a knighthood in the New Year's Honors List.
The retired soccer and showbiz icon will become a "Sir" with final approval reportedly due later this month.
According to reports in The Sun on Sunday newspaper, his $260 million finances are being assessed - as is the norm before any knighthood. "HM Revenue and Customs look at the higher honors - specially at high earners like sports people - to see if there is anything they want to double check," a source said.
It is expected Britain's Prince William will perform the annual ceremony, which would be attended by David's wife Victoria, their daughter Harper, two, and their sons Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 12, and eight-year-old Cruz.
It is said the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player's name was put forward after he ended his 20-year-old career earlier this year after he won the French soccer league with Paris Saint-Germain. However, his role as an ambassador for Britain and excessive charity work - along with the part he played in bringing the Olympics to London last summer - will also be honored.

Channing Tatum Is Named People’s Sexiest Man Alive
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Channing Tatum has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People. The Magic Mike star has been awarded the annual title by the publication and admits he thought they were "messing" with him when he got the news.
The modest actor, who is married to his 10 Years co-star Jenna Dewan, told the magazine, "My first thought was, 'You are all are messing with me.' I told Jenna after we'd been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked. She was like, 'What?'"
Channing, 32, also revealed his wife has started to call him by his new title rather than by his name: "Yeah, she calls me [the Sexiest Man Alive] now. And who can blame her?"
Although Jenna, 31, is happy to be married to the Sexiest Man Alive, she is adamant there is more to her husband than just his handsome looks and toned body. "People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is. He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get," she said.
