David and Victoria Beckham – Micro Pigs
In 2009, Victoria Beckham bought England football star David Beckham two micro pigs for Christmas, setting her back $2,200.
David named his latest additions to the Beckham firm after family friends David Furnish and Elton John. The tea-cup sized pigs, who are now at a full height of just 14 inches, currently reside on the Beckhams’ UK country estate in Hertfordshire.
This purchase sparked a trend for lots of people buying ‘micro’ pigs, only to find out a lot of them were sold piglets who grew into full-sized, 500lb pigs. Ooops.
