It comes as the star, 50, goes from “face to founder” with more behind-the-scenes deals than ever before.
A source said: “David is still an incredibly sought-after face for campaigns but he’s matured into an incredibly impressive and canny businessman, too.
“He really enjoys the boardroom machinations and whilst he looks as incredible as ever, probably won’t want to be on billboards in his pants forever.
“Six years after setting up his own brand management operation, he is more hands-on than ever.
“Right now he’s at a really exciting next stage of evolution, and loves getting involved with new projects.”
Latest figures for DRJB Holdings, the umbrella company for his business ventures, show consolidated profits up 24% to £35.1mn.
This is, in part, thanks to successful deals with Boss menswear, and a license agreement with Safilo eyewear.
He also branched out into burgeoning the wellness industry for the first time with his IM8 image of supplements.
Other strategic partnerships signed include deals with Bowers & Wilkins, Stella Artois, and Shark Ninja.
Meanwhile the star’s profile has never been higher internationally in the wake of his four-part Netflix documentary.
News of his latest commercial success comes ahead of wife Victoria’s own Netflix doc which comes out next week.
Last year the Sunday Times put the couple’s combined wealth at half a billion pounds.
