Shakira – $51 Million Per Year
Shakira has built a respectable reputation for herself as a singer and performer since she joined the music industry almost three decades ago. She managed to secure a place amongst this generation’s greatest Latin artists and has pocketed a great deal of cash along the way. The Colombian beauty has been making waves on the Latin music charts, but it was her hit song “Whenever, Wherever” that catapulted her to fame. Following its success, she released another hit song; “Hips Don’t Lie.” Her fortune is estimated to be $500 million.
She’s been touring the world over the years, collecting three Grammys, 13 Latin Grammy Awards, and even a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She made her fortune mainly through album sales, traveling, smart stock investments, and property holdings. Indeed Shakira’s hips don’t lie, and neither does her bank account.
