It’s hard to believe that such a once-loving couple like Shakira and Gerard Pique would be taking shots at each since their break-up last year. The couple that was once a fan favorite is now nothing but controversies. Since their breakup, they have split everything, including their financial assets.

The Colombian singer now situates at a net worth of over $300 million, while the ex-Barcelona star is $80 million rich. However, ever since the break-up, Shakira has seen a rise in her earnings, mostly thanks to her diss track.

It is safe to say that the break-up has been beneficial for Shakira, at least financially. She has managed to capitalize on the situation and turn it into something profitable. These numbers are sure to keep on growing thanks to the recent diss track with Karol G. The song titled ‘TQG’  has also seen a positive reception from fans.

While Shakira seems to be on a roll with her diss tracks, Pique also doesn’t seem to be doing so poorly. Pique has made a name for himself in the world of soccer, but retired from the sport following the breakup. Although there is major fan hate for the Barca legend and his new girlfriend, he has still been able to capitalize on his popularity by creating a new format of soccer called the ‘Kings League’.
