Gerard Pique, the talented center-back, and the popular singer Shakira are faced with the task of dividing a colossal fortune worth around five hundred million dollars. This colossal sum of shared assets comes as a result of the recent news confirming the end of their longstanding 12-year relationship.
As per the information provided by Celebrity Net Worth, an online platform that specializes in estimating the overall wealth and financial endeavors of famous individuals, Shakira has amassed a considerable fortune of approximately $320 million. In contrast, Pique’s wealth stands at around $85 million. It is worth noting that since the couple was not legally married, their individual assets remain unaffected, including those acquired before their relationship commenced back in 2010. Among Shakira’s noteworthy possessions is a luxurious $14 million mansion located in Miami, while Pique boasts a stunning three-story house in the vibrant heart of Barcelona, estimated to be worth nearly $5 million.
The task at hand is to resolve the matter of Pique and Shakira’s joint assets. They will need to come to an understanding on how to divide these shared resources. As revealed by Spanish newspaper Marca, the couple made a joint purchase in 2012, acquiring a house worth roughly $5 million in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona. Additionally, in 2015 they acquired an apartment near Camp Nou worth approximately $5.3 million. These properties are the main assets that Pique and Shakira will have to divide between them. In addition to the division of assets, another important aspect that requires agreement is the custody of their two children, Milan (9 years old) and Sasha (7 years old). Reliable sources state that Pique and Shakira have sought the assistance of legal experts to handle the necessary paperwork in this matter.
Pique and Shakira made their breakup official on June 4th, putting an end to their long-lasting 12-year relationship. Speculations had been swirling around about the Barcelona defender’s involvement with a 20-year-old student, an alleged affair that Shakira supposedly caught him in. In addition to this, Pique seemed to regularly indulge in late-night revelries, frequenting hotspots like Bling Bling and Patron, where he would be seen having a good time with friends and unfamiliar women. These escapades often led to his return home in the wee hours of the morning, around 2-3 am.
As per a report in the Barcelona daily, El Periodico, over the weekend, Pique and Shakira both made separate trips to the Czech Republic to support their son Milan, who was participating in an international baseball tournament for kids under 10. While they may not have gone together, both of them showed up at the event. El Periodico highlighted that Pique and Shakira’s relationship is currently strained, but they are making efforts to keep things amicable for the well-being of their two children.
