We always knew Victoria Beckham’s dresses were hugely successful and she raked in a lot of profit from their sales, but we never really knew the full extent of their popularity until now.

Apparently Posh Spice’s clothing range generated sales of over £15million in only the first three months of this year and she is well on her way to rivaling what her professional footballer hubby David Beckham earns.

“Victoria never dreamed her clothing range would be successful,” a source close to the Beckhams told the Daily Mail. “She is close to eclipsing David! Her fashion business is due to exceed all expectations with its sales figures up by 71 per cent on last season for the first quarter of 2011.”

If things continue in the same way, sales could top a mouth-watering £60million this year – what an achievement!

This doesn’t really surprise us, as a red carpet event is not complete without at least one person sporting a Victoria Beckham creation. The likes of Blake Lively, Freida Pinto, Kate Winslet and more recently, Cheryl Cole have graced events draped in Victoria Beckham originals and judging by the success of her latest New York Fashion Week outing, we predict the numbers will continue to soar.

Are you surprised by the success of Posh’s dresses?
