David and Victoria have reportedly sacked a third of their staff, after an accountant warned them that they were wasting money.
The Sun reports that the couple were reluctant to let the 14 of around 50 staff they employ worldwide go. Victoria called in the expert when she feared that they were spending too much when others were struggling because of the economy.
A friend told the paper: "This very no-nonsense accountant gave it to Vic straight and said, 'You CAN afford to employ all of these people. But why the hell DO you?'."
The couple were told that they did not need to keep so many staff at their homes in England, LA, Dubai and France.
The friend added: "Once the accountant pointed out that level of staffing was not required Vic pushed the button. There has been a large downsize. David and Victoria are multi-millionaires but that doesn't mean they have to waste money - and they were hemorrhaging it."
The paper claims that a cleaner who worked for the couple at their 'Beckingham Palace' for eight years was replaced by two "cost efficient" foreign staff. It also suggests that their chief gardener will double up as a chauffeur - driving the pair to their airport.
