Shakira
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is the best-selling Latin female artist of all time, a Colombian-Lebanese singer-songwriter who has sold 100+ million records worldwide across a 30-year career. In her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran era (2024), she transformed a very public split from footballer Gerard Piqué into a global cultural phenomenon - breaking Guinness World Records with her Bizarrap session, sweeping the Latin Grammys, winning the MTV Video Vanguard Award, and releasing her most commercially and critically successful album in years. She writes her own music, speaks six languages, holds an IQ of 140, and runs a foundation that has educated thousands of Colombian children.
