Shakira’s connection with Miami began taking shape in the early 2000s, when the Colombian singer bought her first home in the city as her international music career continued to grow. The Mediterranean-style property on La Gorce Island cost her $1.075 million in 2001.
According to Architectural Digest, Shakira sold the four-bedroom Miami home for $1.8 million in 2005, four years after buying it. The sale marked one of the early chapters in the singer’s global real estate journey, which has since included properties in the US, Spain, Uruguay and Cyprus.
