Just in case we needed any more proof that Victoria Beckham's transformation from pop star to respected fashion designer is complete, the mum-of-four has just been named the UK's most successful entrepreneur.

She heads up a list of 100 compiled for business magazine Management Today, beating other fashion-related names such as Mahmud Kamani of clothing website Boohoo.com, who comes third, and even style icon Dame Vivienne Westwood, who appears at number 90.

Thanks to her "finely-tuned business acumen," Victoria, 40, has grown her fashion brand's turnover 2,900% - from £1million to £30million in five years - as well as increasing her staff from just three to over 100. The huge success of her crossover into fashion means the stylish star is now personally worth £210million.

A self-confessed "control freak," the former Spice Girl has often spoken of her dedication to getting her brand, which debuted in 2008, taken seriously in the fashion world. Speaking at the Vogue Festival last year, she said: "At the beginning there was a lot of raised eyebrows... When I started, I did one-on-one presentations, I'd talk for hours to people who didn't even speak English. I think a lot of people probably thought, 'Shut up, stop going on about a bloody grosgrain waistband!'"
