The Latin-pop sensation’s long and immersive career has lasted for decades and has garnered fame and respect from her fans around the world. Hailed as one of the best-selling artists of all time, she has accumulated a lot of wealth with a net worth of $300 million. With that in her treasure box, she is one of the richest stars in the industry.
Thanks to her extensive singing career, she has reached the pinnacle of success. Shakira boasts having million-dollar mansions, luxury cars, and even a private plane. She has won 3 Grammy Awards and 13 Latin Grammy Awards, and has sold more than 125 million albums and singles worldwide. That star has also signed on to be a judge for multiple seasons of The Voice, reportedly earning $12 million for that project.

How Much Is Gerard Piqué Worth Now?
As for Shakira's now ex-partner Gerard Piqué, his net worth reportedly stands at $80 million. He accumulated his fortunes as a football player. Piqué started playing from a young age and became a part of FC Barcelona’s youth team, playing as a defensive midfielder. Before he was offered a spot in his home country, he made a move to Manchester United in 2004.
While he was on the team, Gerard often played as a substitute for players who had been injured. During his brief appearances on the field, he managed to impress everyone with his skills. He ended up having to juggle between Manchester United and Barcelona FC due to his popularity. He eventually returned to his native team in 2008, though.
Since then, Gerard has participated in a number of contests and has emerged as one of the most well-known team members. He is considered a renowned Spanish footballer and one of the world’s best defenders. He reportedly earns a salary of $10 million, which contributes amply to his overall net worth of $80 million.
Aside from his salary as an athlete, Gerard is also the founder and president of an investment group that signed a $3 billion partnership with the International Tennis Federation. With his investment company, he has purchased two Spanish football clubs: FC Andorra and Gimnàstic Manresa.
Who Makes More Money: Shakira Or Gerard?
Without a doubt, Shakira has way higher net worth than her ex-partner Gerard Piqué. In fact, the pop star is reportedly willing to pay a part of the Barcelona defender and former beau’s debt of $2.5 million to keep custody of their children. She has even offered to pay him to visit the kids.
In the detailed proposal, the singer suggested that she would pay for Gerard to travel first class five times to Miami every year. She has also promised she will let him spend every summer with their two kids. However, the football star refused the offer, as his overall personality suggests that he might feel disrespected by her offer of paying off his debts.
While the two have finally ended their romantic relationship, many are hoping that the ex-couple will resolve their custody battle peacefully and as soon as possible. As for their net worth, both are doing fine on the money front, so it is unlikely they would try to get funds from each other. Fortunately, they were also not married, so their individual wealth should stay intact after this split up — and they both have the potential to continue earning millions more.
