Breaking Down Shakira’s Massive Net Worth in 2023

In case you’ve been very casually wondering, bona fide A-lister and jam wizard Shakira is rich. In fact, she is worth so much money that she could stop working today and still be richer than your average multi-multi-multi-millionaire—that’s how high her net worth is, friends. Wondering how she did it? Easy, talent! But also touring, records, real estate, and some v lucrative endorsements. Let’s get into it.

Shakira Has Made a Huge Amount of Money From Music, Obviously

Shakira is one of the top-selling artists in digital single sales and album sales, according to RIAA (the Recording Industry Association of America), so, yeah—hits like “Whenever, Wherever” earned her a lot of money. Meanwhile, there’s the casual fact that in 2008, Shakira signed a rumored $300 million deal with Live Nation and the fact that she reportedly sold her publishing catalog for a deal worth $100 million back in February 2021.

Meanwhile, Shakira’s yearly earnings are best described as mind-blowing. She earned so much in 2012 that she was one of Forbes’s highest-paid Women in Music, taking home $20 million that year. You’d think that would be a career peak, but Forbes reports that she earned even more between 2018 and 2019. Ahem: $35 million.

Touring Made Her Even More Money

Shakira’s been touring since the ’90s and has earned a ton of money along the way. 2002 to 2003’s Tour of the Mongoose grossed over $72 million, 2006 to 2007’s Oral Fixation Tour grossed over $100 million, and 2018’s El Dorado World Tour grossed $75 million—just so you get an idea of what she’s bringing in. Of course, there’s a ton of overhead during tours, so it’s not like Shakira’s pocketing all this money.

Pls Don’t Forget Her Endorsements

First of all, Shakira’s been a spokesperson for Pepsi for freakin’ ever:

And Pepsi sponsored the Super Bowl halftime show when she performed, so yep. It’s All! Coming! Together! Unclear what Shakira makes from her deal with Pepsi, but it’s hardly the only thing she’s got going on. Not only did she judge The Voice for a reported $12 million, but she also acted in Zootopia, which ~casually~ grossed over $1 billion. More recently, she’s been judging Dancing With Myself (unclear what her salary is on that, but let’s assume around the same that she made for The Voice!).

She Has Money Tied Up in Real Estate

Specifically in Miami, where she owns a massive mansion that she listed in 2021 for $15.9 million. So….if she sells it, she’ll be about $16 million richer.

Okay, So How Much Did Shakira Make From the Super Bowl With Jennifer Lopez?

Not a dime. But no one ever does! The NFL has a long tradition of, uh, not paying performers, but it does pay for the halftime show’s production costs. As an NFL spokesperson explained to Forbes, “We do not pay the artists. We cover expenses and production costs.”

This is because the NFL views the halftime show as free advertising for performers, who can expect their music sales to have a major spike thanks to the show.

So, What Is Shakira’s Net Worth?

Despite Shakira awkwardly being charged with tax evasion in 2018 (she settled), Celebrity Net Worth reports that she’s sitting on $300 million dollars. Meanwhile, I’m worth one sandwich and about five half-empty cans of dry shampoo. Bye.
