Shakira | Island

Singer Shakira has a property in the Bahamas called Bonds Cay. The vast island was said to have been bought at a market value of $16 million. It comes with 700 acres of land, which was developed to house luxury accommodations, and become a well-rounded tourism spot. Complete with hotels and a golf course, the island was created to attract visitors from all over the world. Shakira owns the island together with Roger Waters and Alejandro Sanz. She even had to hire a lawyer because her ex-boyfriend Antonio de la Rua wanted to remain a part of the deal even after they broke up.

The court proceedings were quite vicious and highly publicized, but it was settled in the end. It is no surprise that Shakira is on this list – aside from being very rich and famous, she’s one of the celebrities who has wanted to keep her private life private, even her long-term relationship. If owning an island helps her get away from all the screaming fans in the city, then she definitely invested in the right thing when she bought this island.
