When Shakira decided to break up her marriage with Gerard Piqué at the time Clara Chía appeared in their lives, due to an alleged infidelity that inspired the singer to declare a war on the footballer, Barcelona could no longer be her refuge. The media’s persecution and the fact that her in-laws were her neighbors forced Shakira to put some distance between them and her children.
With a flight of almost ten hours, the Barranquilla native, Sasha and Milan settled in the Miami property that she bought in 2004 for five million dollars from a Portuguese businessman. After many renovations and changes that left the house to the singer’s liking, the unexpected installation of a septic tank in the depths of the mansion made the media label it as ‘the poop mansion’ and caused the family to flee to Fisher Island, a small island south of Miami Beach.
The nauseating smell that perfumed the house was reason enough to want to get rid of it and put it up for sale. What the singer did not realize then was that the scatological reason why she did not want to continue having the house in her empire was going to be the same reason why no buyer would end up being interested. Until now. Finally, Shakira has managed to sell the mansion with the help of an unexpected friend.
If Shakira was still having financial problems, she can now breathe easy, because she has managed to find a new owner for her fragrant Miami residence, pocketing the 17 million dollars she was asking for it. She has not yet finished closing the transactions for such a profitable business, but the negotiations have so far gone that the signature will not take long to arrive.
The person she has to thank for closing the sale of her mansion is someone who, unfortunately, recently lost his due to a sudden fire. Her friend and singer Marc Anthony is said to have participated in the mediation between Shakira and the new buyer, a Hollywood actor whose identity is unknown, successfully achieving the real estate agreement.
The new owner will not only be a neighbor of celebrities such as Beyoncé or Alejandro Sanz, he will also enjoy all the changes that the Colombian made to the house, investing a lot of money in it. First, she added a private port to reach the interior of the house from the water. The enormous amount that the singer asked for is not only justified by this addition, but also because it has three suites with their respective bathrooms, several living rooms and dining rooms, a private gym and a large garden area where the pool and the ‘chill out’ area are located.
Apparently, Shakira is in a stage in which she has given greater priority to business than to love. In recent weeks, social media users have spread a video in which the singer was clearly seen enjoying a dinner accompanied by an unknown man. What started out as sparking rumours of a romantic evening ended up being a strictly professional meeting. Antonio de la Rúa, Shakira’s ex-boyfriend, returned to her life to discuss some financial matter, as he is her current accountant.
