Shakira | AGE 44 | $300 Million

Shakira has been one of the most legendary Latin singers of all time. Hailing from Colombia, she began her career at the age of 10 as a belly dancer. Shortly thereafter, she began to write songs and compete in many talent shows. She got her first breakthrough when she was signed on to Sony back in 1990. Her debut album, Magia, was released a year later to poor sales. After another album of hers failed commercially, she made a turnaround in 1995. In 2001, she made her English-language debut with her fifth album, Laundry Service, to great success, which led to her becoming well-known in both Spanish and English-language audiences.

Today, Shakira has been one of the most successful Latin singers of all time, with total record sales of over 125 million. Throughout her career, she has won countless awards, including three Grammys and thirteen Latin Grammys. In addition to her singing career, she has also been well-known for being a judge on The Voice. Thanks to these, along with investments and other royalties, she has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, making her one of the richest female singers in the world.
