Gerard Pique spent most of his career playing soccer in Spain. The Barcelona soccer legend’s net worth is about $80 Million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. In 2017, Pique established Kosmos Holding, a production-based company that is sports-centric. Through his company, the soccer legend has also purchased two smaller soccer clubs in Span. In 2019, Pique purchased Gimnastic Manresa and FC Andorra.
While Shakira has a higher net worth, has Gerard Pique managed to make more money than her because of the stable wages he had at Barcelona?
How much money did the celebrity duo make over the years?
Hips Don’t Lie, Waka Waka, and Beautiful Liar are some of Shakira’s songs that turned out to be global hits. The Colombian star has sold over 125 million albums worldwide. Shakira is also credited to be the second most successful Latina singer of all time after Gloria Estefan. In 2021, Shakira sold all her rights to her publishing catalog for over $100 million. Over 145 songs were part of that deal. The Colombian star also earned about $12 million for her contributions as a coach for two seasons on ‘The Voice’.
If we look at it, Shakira is the most successful act in history without having to rely awn chart success in the US.
Only one #1 and no #1 album yet in the US, yet the greatest Latin act in history outselling her pop peers in America with a global reach so colossal.
