Early Years
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on February 2, 1977. Shakira is an Arabic name that means "thankful." She is William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll Torrado's only child. Her father was born in New York City, where his grandparents had moved from Lebanon. Shakira's dad moved to Colombia when he was five years old. She is Catalan and Castilian Spanish, and her mother is Italian. She was brought up as a Roman Catholic and went to schools for Catholics. She has eight half-siblings who are older than her from her father's first marriage. Shakira lived in Barranquilla, a city on Colombia's northern Caribbean coast, for most of her childhood. "La Rosa de Cristal," her first song, was written when she was four years old. She loved watching her father write stories on his typewriter when she was a child, and she asked for one for Christmas. She got one when she was seven, and ever since then she has been writing poems. Eventually, those poems turned into songs.
When Shakira was four, her dad took her to a Middle Eastern restaurant where she heard the doumbek for the first time. The doumbek is a traditional drum used in Arabic music, and belly dancing is often done to it. She started dancing on the table, and as she learned how to belly dance over the years, she realized she wanted to be a dancer. She was called the "belly dancer girl" at school because she showed off her new dance moves every Friday. She liked to sing at school for her friends and teachers. But when she was in second grade, her vibrato was too strong to get her into the school band. She was told by her music teacher that she sounded like a goat. Shakira had trouble in school because she had ADHD. Because she was so active, she was often kicked out of class.
From the time she was 10 to 13 years old, people in Barranquilla started to notice Shakira's music at local events. She met Monica Ariza, a local theater producer who wanted to help her get her business off the ground. Ariza talked Sony Colombia record producer Ciro Vargas into letting Shakira try out in the hotel lobby while they were flying from Barranquilla to Bogota. Vargas thought Shakira was great, but Sony's head of songs and artists didn't. Vargas set up an audition for her in Bogota and invited leaders from Sony Colombia. He wanted her to do something that would surprise them. She sang three songs, which was enough to land her a deal for three records.
Career
"Magia," Shakira's first album, came out in June 1991, when she was only 13 years old. It had "Magia" and three other songs. She has been making these songs since she was eight years old. The album did well on Colombian radio and got Shakira a lot of attention, but only 1,200 copies were sold abroad, so it didn't do well in the business world. Her second record, "Peligro," from 1993, also did not do well.
With the songs "Pies Descalzos" in 1995 and "Donde Estan los Ladrones?" in 1998, which were both hits in Spanish-speaking countries, he did start to get more and more attention. Shakira's fifth record, "Laundry Service," which came out in 2001, was her first one in English. It sold more than 20 million copies and gave rise to the international number-one hits "Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes."
Her Spanish albums "Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1" (2005), "Sale el Sol" (2010), and "El Dorado" (2017) all topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums lists and were all certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. In different places around the world, her English albums "Oral Fixation Vol. 2" (2005), "She Wolf" (2009), and "Shakira" (2014) were all certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum. Some of her songs, like "La Tortura," "Hips Don't Lie," "Beautiful Liar," "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," "Loca," and "Chantanje," have been number one on the list in more than one country. At the Ivor Novello Awards in 2022, she was given the Special International Award because she was one of the most successful authors and musicians in the world. Shakira was a coach on the American singing competition TV show "The Voice" for two seasons, from 2013 to 2014.

Live Nation Deal
Shakira signed a $300 million, 10-year deal with Live Nation in 2008.
Catalog Sale
Shakira sold the rights to her collection of songs to Hipgnosis Songs Fund in January 2021. The deal gave him the rights to print about 145 songs. The details of the deal were not made public, but it was likely worth at least $100 million based on similar sales.
Life at home
Shakira was with Argentinian lawyer Antonio de la Rua for 11 years, from 2000 to 2011. In an interview in 2009, she said that they were like a married couple and that "they don't need papers for that." Even after they broke up, de la Rua kept an eye on Sharkira's business and job. He sued Shakira in the fall of 2012 for $100 million he thought he was owed because she had ended their business relationship in October 2011. In August 2013, a judge in the Los Angeles County Superior Court threw out his case.
In 2011, Shakira and Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué started dating. He is a soccer player for both FC Barcelona and Spain. They are 10 years apart in age. They met in the spring of 2010 when he was in the music video for her song "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," which was the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Milan, who was born on January 22, 2013, and Sasha, who was born on January 29, 2015, are Shakira and Gerard's boys. Gerard and Shakira revealed in June 2022 that they would no longer be together.
When she was a child, her father took her to a nearby park to meet some children. He did this to teach her to be grateful. The pictures stayed with her, and she told herself, "When I'm famous as an artist, I'll help these kids." Shakira started the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which helps poor children in Colombia by raising money.
Shakira took a course at the University of Pennsylvania on old philosophy as a hobby in 2020.
The Voice Salary
In 2013, Shakira was said to have made $12 million from "The Voice."
Tax Fraud
In November 2017, the Paradise Papers revealed that Shakira was the only owner of a company that transferred $30 million worth of music rights. In 2018, the Spanish government started looking into her money. Prosecutors said that Shakira did not pay taxes when she and her family lived in Spain from 2012 to 2014. She is said to owe $13.9 million in taxes, but Shakira says she has paid everything she due plus interest of $2.8 million. They are waiting for a hearing date right now.
Real Estate
Shakira put her simple Miami home on the market in 2018 for $11.6 million. On North Bay Road in Miami, the 20,726-square-foot lot looks out over the water and has more than 100 feet of access to Biscayne Bay. There are six bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms in the 8,708-square-foot house. Matt Damon, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez, and Michael Bay are among the people who live nearby.
After Shakira and Piqué broke up in 2022, they put their $16 million home in Barcelona on the market and Shakira and her two sons, Milan and Sasha, chose to move back to Miami. She is rumored to be renting a $15 million waterfront house while planning to spend up to $50 million on a new mega mansion. She has a home in the Bahamas as well.
