Shakira tops annual list of highest-paid singers

In 2021 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (March 27) that Shakira is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between February 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $20 million lead over her closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Colombian singer has an estimated net worth of $145 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Shakira Burger” chain) in Bogotá, a Football Team (the “Barranquilla Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondershakira - Colombia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Shakira) and a fashion line called “Shakira Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Shakira fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
