SHE’S known around the globe as Ginger Spice, but is Geri Halliwell actually the ultimate “Posh Spice”, ahead of Victoria Beckham?
This comes as the flame-haired singer, 52, is releasing a copycat reality TV show to rival Victoria’s, and insiders suggest it will show how she really fits the “Posh” title.

Bag It Up hitmaker Geri is reportedly in talks to star in her very own fly on the wall programme.
Although she’s married to Red Bull Racing CEO Christian Horner, 51, it’s currently known if he will appear in the show following last year’s sexting scandal.
The F1 boss reportedly sent messages of a sexual nature and requests for images from an unnamed colleague.
Sources say that the Spice Girls star has been involved in a pitch for a new series that would give fans a behind the scenes look at her extravagant life and revive her career after the scandal.
This comes as Netflix has announced a documentary on Victoria Beckham and her role as Creative Director of her own brand, following the success of her family series with husband David in 2023.
A source tells Closer: “Geri doing her own reality docuseries just as Vic is about to release hers has raised some eyebrows among the Spice Girls.
“This show is meant to be about Geri setting her narrative straight after the controversy, but Vic and the other girls seem surprised that Geri is following so closely in Vic’s footsteps.”
But with both shows set to go head to head, we look at how Geri could be seen as “out Poshing” Victoria…
Upper class ties
Victoria earned the nickname of Posh due to her wealthy upbringing and stylish wardrobe.
Fans of the Beckham docuseries will recall the comical moment David reminded her of her privileged childhood by pointing out that her dad drove her to school in a Rolls Royce.

However, after growing up on a council estate, Geri allegedly now feels she is more deserving of this title, with high society friends who include Baroness Carole Bamford and Dame Judi Dench.
In addition to this, she reportedly feels her elegant new “way of speaking” fits the bill more closely, according to the magazine.
Closer’s source added: “There’s definitely a big sense of rivalry between the pair as Geri has been encroaching on Vic’s territory – Vic can’t help but feel Geri is always trying to one up her.
“However, Geri maintains that she’s on her own path and her show will be very different and more sophisticated than Vic’s.
“Geri wants the public to see how far she’s come, from her glamour modelling days, which she won’t even acknowledge, to becoming a lady of the manor.”
Classy wardrobe

Just like Victoria, Geri always turns heads with her wardrobe, and has a very elegant signature style.
The mum of two has put her wild past behind her in favour of a far more sophisticated existence.
In 2019, Geri traded her once vibrant, multi-coloured outfits for an all-white wardrobe to elevate her look, and hasn’t looked back since.
Speaking to The Sun in early 2021, she said: “Everything becomes really simple. It’s like wearing a school uniform as an adult.
“It matches with everything and I literally don’t have to think in the mornings.
“It kind of looks like you’ve made an effort when you haven’t.”
Swanky estate

Geri shares TWO stunning country homes with husband Christian in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire and their brood.
The former property is, perhaps, the most lavish and most shared online – boasting its very own duck pond, which they use for boating.
Their farm also houses three miniature donkeys, horses and goats in the estate’s stables.
Back in 2019, Christian told Luxury London that the sprawling country abode was the “perfect home to relax in.”
“Restoring the farm has been my hobby – the way I put racing out of my mind,” he added.
How Christian Horner’s whirlwind Geri romance ’caused family row’ after shock split
F1 principal Christian Horner is no stranger to a personal crisis – having fallen out with his parents badly after leaving the mother of his first child and marrying Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Horner’s parents didn’t attend the 2015 wedding, reportedly because they were upset about the end of his 14-year relationship with ex-partner Beverley Allen.
While the family seems to have patched things up now, Horner has also experienced turmoil in his professional life.
The hard-working team boss has previously fallen out with rival F1 bosses and is apparently wrapped up in an ongoing feud with Mercedes racing chief Toto Wolff.
It stems from accusations that Red Bull broke budget rules and benefited from rule bending when their driver Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to the F1 championship in 2021.
And there are now rumours of a power struggle within Red Bull, a battle that could be Christian’s toughest yet
“The main house is finished but now the barns are being converted. We’re currently putting the finishing touches to an indoor swimming pool.”
Certainly, it’s the £7million property in Oxfordshire that gets the most love from Geri on Instagram, who regularly shares candid snaps of her family life.
Horner, who last year celebrated Max Verstappen regaining the F1 Championship, is stepdad to Geri’s daughter Bluebell Madonna, 18, and the couple share a son, Montague, eight.
He also has another daughter, Olivia from a previous relationship with ex-partner Beverley Allen.
Meanwhile, David and Victoriahave owned over a dozen homes across the world, with their real estate portfolio spanning three continents, including a £31million London townhouse, a £6million Cotswolds farmhouse, a £19million Miami penthouse, a £4million Burj Khalifa home and a second £8million Dubai home.
Country pursuits
Geri has a very lavish life and lots of horse racing investments[/caption]
Geri and Christian’s business empire includes a stable of racing horses.
The couple own a horse racing company called OMBI, which was set up in 2021 and has horses named with a musical them, with all of them referencing Geri’s solo career hits.
These include Lift Me Up, It’s Raining Men, Look at Mee and Mi Chico Latina.
Their horse Lift Me Up ran in the St James’s Place Festival Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival 2025.

Despite previous successes, including a win at Warwick in January 2025, Lift Me Up finished 13th out of 24 runners.
However, that did not stop Geri oozing elegance in a white turtle neck jumper and trousers as she had fun at Cheltenham, rubbing shoulders with royalty and celebs alike.
Profitable marriage

Since leaving the group, Geri hasn’t struggled much for cash – and is now worth £440million, which is hot on the heels of the Beckhams’ £445million wealth.
In her first three years as a solo artist, Geri’s company, Wonderful Productions, reported a £13.1million turnover and she paid herself £8.9million.
After that, her accounts went dormant from 2001 until 2018, when she opted to get involved in a Spice Girls reunion.
It saw the girls, bar Victoria, come together for a six-date tour, which netted the four involved £2.2million each.
The following year, The Daily Mail reported Geri’s company was worth £3million and she had paid herself £1million from it.
At the height of their fame, the girls earned £59.5million per year each[/caption]
She bolstered her fortunes by marrying Red Bull boss Christian Horner in 2015 in a lavish wedding at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, with guests including TV’s Amanda Holden, Myleene Klass and former bandmate Emma Bunton.
Christian is believed to have been paid over £8million per year for his role with the F1 firm.
Together, the couple rake in £2.4million in rental properties and extra winnings from horse racing investments.
The couple’s dream life has run into problems after Christian was accused of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female colleague and sending “sexually suggestive” texts.
Spice Girls’ net worths at a glance
By Josh Saunders
THE Spice Girls were one of the most successful girl bands on the planet and sold more than 100million records worldwide.
But their fortunes vary drastically thanks to a mixture of wise and poor investments, messy divorces, and ill-advised spending sprees.
Here we reveal the Spice Girls’ current net worths:
- Posh Spice: Victoria and David Beckham – £445million
- Ginger Spice: Geri and Christian Horner – £440million
- Baby Spice: Emma Bunton and Jade Jones – £24 million
- Sporty Spice: Melanie Chisholm, aka Mel C – £24million
- Scary Spice: Melanie Brown, aka Mel B – £4.7million
Geri has reportedly caused chaos after pulling out of a TV series that was expected to net the Spice Girls £1million each.
The band, composed of Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri, has millions of fans worldwide.
The show would have been a dramatised version of the girls’ path to stardom, and they would all net the huge sum for essentially doing nothing.
But Geri and Christian are said to be trying to rebuild their image – which may be part of her decision to pull out and focus on their own solo projects.
