What is Shakira’s net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Shakira has an estimated net worth of approximately $300million, as of November 2023.

On November 20, 2023, the star settled with prosecutors in Barcelona to avoid a trial over charges she failed to pay €14.5m (around $15.8m) in Spanish income tax between 2012 and 2014.

It had previously been reported that Shakira faced up to eight years in jail if found guilty.

The singer struck a last minute deal, accepting the charges and a fine of more than €7.3m, 50 percent of the amount owed.

She also accepted a further fine to avoid a three-year prison sentence.

Speaking at the courthouse, Shakira said: “While I was determined to defend my innocence in a trial that my lawyers were confident would have ruled in my favour, I have made the decision to finally resolve this matter with the best interest of my kids at heart who do not want to see their mom sacrifice her personal wellbeing in this fight.”
