After 19 years, pop icon Shakira is gearing up to return to India, and that has certainly sent waves of nostalgia among Indian fans. Shakira’s unmatched hits, such as ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ and the FIFA anthem ‘Waka Waka’ brought cultures together! Undoubtedly, her influence reflects on the fortune she amassed in her career of over 30 years. Shakira is one of the wealthiest Latin music stars in the world. Here’s a look at her net worth.
The Colombian singer-songwriter has an estimated net worth of USD 300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The ‘Whenever, Wherever’ singer is one of the most successful artists of all time. Shakira has sold more than 125 million albums and singles worldwide, and that made her the highest-selling Colombian singer of all time.
Shakira’s source of income
A fair contribution of her net worth comes from her highly-energetic live performances. Some of her record-breaking tours are ‘Oral Fixation World Tour’, ‘El Dorado World Tour’ and ‘The Sun Comes Out World Tour.’Shakira also served as a coach on two seasons of the American singing competition television series ‘The Voice’ from 2013 to 2014. In 2013, Shakira earned approximately USD 12 million from the singing show.
From Barcelona to Miami: Shakira’s real estate profile
Shakira has also significantly invested in real-estate. One of her most notable properties was in Miami. She listed the property in 2018 for USD 11.6 million. Following her split from Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué in 2022, Shakira later relocated to Miami with her two sons, and reportedly rented a property worth USD 50 million.
When Shakira faced legal troubles for tax fraud
Despite her glittering career, Shakira’s financial journey has not been without controversy. Shakira faced legal trouble in Spain after prosecutors accused her of failing to pay 14.5 million EUR in taxes between 2012 and 2014, claiming she qualified as a Spanish tax resident. In November 2023, she settled the case on the first day of trial, accepting a suspended three-year sentence and agreeing to pay a 7.3 million EUR fine.While the legal troubles marked a challenging chapter in her otherwise celebrated career, they did little to diminish her global popularity or commercial success.
