Beckham has already earned the Major League Soccer side nearly £7million before he joins Galaxy in July at the end of his contract with Real Madrid.
Galaxy are expecting revenue to double this coming season to around £5million, having sold an additional 7,000 season tickets on the back of Beckham's arrival, worth around £2.5million, and increased the price of premium seats by 48%. The club have also signed a lucrative five year shirt sponsorship deal with Herbalife Ltd, who sell nutritional and weight-loss products, worth another £10million.
In all, Beckham's arrival should bring in an additional £7million in his first season, around £4.5million more than his annual playing contract with the club.
