With her distinct voice, amazing dance moves, and continued fame, Shakira had proven that her "hips don't lie" when she dived into the music industry.

Shakira is known to be one of the cornerstones of Latin music, paving its way in the airwaves of different countries.

Shakira started her career in 1991 as a fresh teenager with her debut album "Magia." How wealthy do you think the Colombian singer is with her long career in the music industry?

Shakira Net Worth 2022: The Colombian Superstar Earnings

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Shakira's net worth for 2022 is estimated to be $300 million. Shakira's wealth came from a lot of hard work in the early times of her career.

Her career started in 1991, but her first album, "Magia," was not able to reach many fans. At that time, only 1,200 copies were only sold globally. 

Celebrity Net Worth reported that her second album, "Peligro," was also not able to become a hit on the airwaves and the market.

Shakira's career catapulted when she released her album "Pies Descalzos" in 1995 and "Donde Estan Los Landrones" in 1998. The said albums were both hits in the Spanish Speaking countries.

Shakira also dominated the American music industry when she released her album "Laundry Service" in 2001, which sold more than 20 million copies.

According to reports, her successful tours and concerts worldwide also contributed to her massive new worth. Her "El Dorado" world tour grossed around $40.7 million worldwide, and $28 million of that earning was attributed to the tours in North America alone.

Meanwhile, her "The Sun Comes Out" tour grossed around $13 million in North America. Shakira also signed a $300 million contract with Live Nation for her concerts.

However, her career in the music industry is not the only means of her wealth. The Colombian singer also got $12 million for the deal she signed on with NBC's hit contest "The Voice," where she served as a judge for two seasons.

Shakira also partnered with Spanish company Puig in 2010, prompting the creation of her cosmetic line, personal care, and fragrances. Reports noted that her fragrances alone earned around $35 and $45 million in its first year of sales.

How Did Shakira Spend Her Wealth?

With a massive amount of net worth, Shakira has a fancy way of living her life. According to The Richest, Shakira and her family spend most of their time in Spain. 

Shakira is married to Barcelona football star Gerard Pique.

The outlet noted that in 2015, the singer bought a mansion in Barcelona for an estimated amount of $5.5 million, and the singer is a collector of cars. 

Shakira reportedly owns a Mercedes-Benz SLK valued at around $44,000. She also holds other models of the brand, including GLK and S600.

Shakira also reportedly owns a BMW X6 and an Audi A7.

Another way how Shakira spends her money is by supporting foundations and charity. In 2009, Shakira created the Fundación Pies Descalzos in Barranquilla, Colombia, her hometown, to help poor and impoverished children.

According to reports, the place is a public school, and it was recognized as the best public school in Colombia.
