Gerard Pique‘s ex Shakira recently made headlines after splurging a whopping $12,000,000 on her ailing parents. The singer, who has had her fair share of challenges following her breakup with Pique, has been juggling numerous responsibilities. This includes a legal battle for a tax evasion case. However, her parents’ health has remained a constant worry for her.

Shakira’s father, William Mebarak, and her mother, Nidia del Carmen Ripoll, have been her pillars of support throughout her life. Unfortunately, in recent times they have faced some major health scares, which have required the singer’s continuous assistance. Also, her father was in the ICU when Shakira found out about Pique’s infidelity.

Shakira’s $12 million thank you to her parents

Last year, the Colombian singer’s father was hospitalized after a fall and had to undergo surgery. Just a few months later, her mother had to be rushed to the hospital due to a blood clot in her leg. These health issues prompted Shakira to prioritize her parents’ well-being. She postponed her plans to leave for Miami and spent quality time with them to provide the support they needed during these challenging times.

Their unwavering support also helped her navigate the emotional aftermath of her breakup with Pique. In a heartwarming gesture to show her gratitude and love for her parents, Shakira decided to give back to them in the most magnificent way possible. She purchased a luxurious and spacious penthouse in Colombia for her parents to call home.

This two-story property is equipped with top-of-the-line finishes and amenities tailored to their needs. Additionally, it boasts a maid’s room and six parking spaces, ensuring that all their requirements are met with utmost comfort and convenience. The market value of this extravagant property amounts to a staggering more than $12,000,000.

This huge purchase is a testament to the strong bond she shares with them. It also highlights the challenging experiences that Shakira and her parents have endured in the past. Particularly during a time when the pop singer discovered her ex’s betrayal while her father was in intensive care.
