Shakira’s Miami Home for Sale

When Shakira first broke into the American music market with her hit single “Whenever, Wherever,” she also made an entry into the American real estate market, picking up a house in Miami Beach for $3.38 million. The international star is now even more international. Born and raised in Colombia, she stays in Los Angeles while filming the singing competition “The Voice” but also recently had a child with Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique and makes her home in Barcelona. It appears that Shakira is choosing to keep her home base in Europe and has listed her Miami Beach residence on North Bay Road for $14.95 million. Looking at the purchase price and the listing price, Shakira stands to make quite a bit on the sale. According to the listing, the singer had the residence completely remodeled to create a “Zen sanctuary.” Measuring 8,355 square feet, the 6-bedroom, 9-bath home has light hardwood floors throughout, an updated kitchen with high-end appliances and access to a hardwood deck that fronts the bay. Like many celeb homes, the house is situated behind a tall gate and privacy hedges. Curious about a monthly payment on Shakira’s home? According to Zillow’s mortgage calculator, the home would cost $58,773 per month, assuming a 20 percent down payment on a 30-year fixed rate loan.
