That makes him the fourth most expensive player in the club’s history – just ahead of older brother Jude.
In his announcement video Bellingham played down the idea he is following in his brother’s footsteps.
But Spanish outlet Marca report the 19-year-old is already eyeing a switch to Real Madrid, just as Jude did two years ago.
They claim Jude’s knowledge of the club and success at Dortmund where key factors in Bellingham’s decision to sign.
Bellingham’s debut for Dortmund will likely come in the Club World Cup.
The teenager will wear number 77 for his new club, sporting his first name ‘Jobe’ on the rear of his shirt to avoid the weight of his surname.
He has penned a five-year deal and his fee could rise to £32m if add-ons are met.
Bellingham penned an emotional goodbye to the Sunderland fans in an open letter on his Instagram.
It read: “Dear Sunderland, it’s time for me to say farewell to all the loyal people of Sunderland, who have powered me through two incredible years in Red and White.
“Your support, on so many occasions, has completely blown me away, especially in the times of adversity which we pulled through together.
You welcomed me with open arms as a kid leaving home for the first time, and I am proud that our relationship has grown to be so strong ever since.
“Your support for the team and I since I arrived at your beloved club was unwavering, and for that I am forever indebted to you as people and supporters.
“I will always represent Wearside in all that I strive to achieve for the rest of my career, wherever that may be.
“I hope that I have made you proud along the way, and in return you have made me the player that has reached the heights I find myself at today. So thank you.
“I will love and remember you fondly for the rest of my life, from the bottom of my heart.
“I tried to embody the passion you have for the city on the football pitch and I’m so incredibly delighted that our journey came to an end with a victory at Wembley to restore the club in its rightful place.
“To the staff, players & most importantly the supporters thank you so much & good luck for the future.
“Jobe, Adopted Mackem.”
