GERI Horner and her husband Christian are among the most powerful and wealthy celebrities in the UK.
In just one year, the former Spice Girls star secured a £1 million pay-day – and surprisingly, it’s not from her music career.
In 2020, Geri hit a high note with the release of her 2008 series of books featuring the character Ugenia Lavender, which flew off the shelves.
And her success continues to shine, as her most recent financial records show a hefty dividend payout of £762,240 from her music company Wonderful Productions.
After the dividend payout, Companies House shows she still has £1.45 million in assets – of which, £247,551 is cash sitting in the bank.
The singer set up Wonderful Productions back in 1997, using it to channel her Spice Girls earnings.
Geri still receives earnings from Spice Girls Limited, a joint venture she shares with Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Mel C, and Emma Bunton.
And the star appears to be set to increase her earnings even more, as The Sun reported her plans for a new children’s book series that she hopes will be adapted into a TV show.
An insider said: “After the Spice Girls reunion was binned Geri has thrown herself into her new book series so she has something to focus on.
“She has been putting pen to paper over the past few months for a new concept she’s come up with called Falcon Queen Rules.

“Her first series of children’s books about her character Ugenia Lavender in 2008 went down a storm and now Geri is giving it a go all over again.”
Her net worth is believed to be around £41million.
As for her husband, Christian is a very wealthy man thanks to his incredible career in motorsport racing.
As the principal of Red Bull, he is the highest-paid team boss and has an estimated salary of around £8million ($10m) a year.
The star, who turned 50 in November, has been in his role with Red Bull since 2005.
He was previously a race car driver himself with spells in Formula Renault, British F3 and Formula Two.
Due to his success, it may come as no surprise that the happily married have amassed a reported £440million fortune.
This makes Geri the wealthiest former Spice Girl — with a luxurious life that would make even the Beckhams jealous.
Eariler this week Geri was said to be devastated by the allegations made by a female staffer against her husband.
Formula One was rocked on Monday by the news that Christian had been placed under investigation by Red Bull Austria.
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 Telegraph reported that the company has allegedly compiled a “dossier of incriminating material” regarding inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards one female member of staff.

Christian issued an immediate denial on Monday, stating: “I reject these claims entirely.”
It is understood that he will now be quizzed by an independent lawyer appointed to examine the unnamed woman’s claims at a hearing on Friday.
