David Beckham's son takes on his first job.

The first son of David and Victoria Beckham, Brooklyn has started a weekend job at a West London coffee shop where he is paid £2.68 an hour. Due to his age, he cannot work for more than seven hours on a Saturday and has to be given an hour’s break after four hours. Though his famous parents are worth £165million, it seems Brooklyn is determined not to rely on them for spare cash. Instead, the 15-year-old is learning the real value of money – by earning his own.

A member of staff, who did not want to be named, confirmed yesterday Brooklyn had worked a few shifts and ‘got on OK’ with other staff. News of his decision to make his own money and not sponge off his wealthy parents earned him praise as a good role model for other teenagers.

One fan wrote on Twitter: ‘Good on Brooklyn Beckham who’s got himself a job in a coffee shop at 15 when he could just lay back in a life of luxury!’
