Shakira | $300 Million

At only four years old, Shakira already made her first poem. Although it was just a hobby at first, this habit eventually blossomed into a passion for music and songwriting. At 13 years old, she landed her first record label deal. Today, with over 80 million records sold, Shakira has become one of the best-selling artists in the music industry. A few notable songs she released through the years include Whenever, Wherever, Hips Don’t Lie, and Waka Waka.

Outside her singing career, Shakira is also known for her philanthropic endeavors. In 1997, she spent a portion of her investment money on the Barefoot Foundation, a charity that has since established five schools that provide education and food for around 4,000 children. Other works she has dabbled through the years include her very own beauty line, S by Shakira, and her voice-acting work for Disney’s animated film, Zootopia.
