Shakira’s Miami Beach Pad For Sale at $5.9M

Shakira wants more living space and has put her 6,500-square-foot Miami Beach mansion on the market, the Houston Chronicle said Friday.

The asking price for the five bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom house, which also sports a pool, jacuzzi and private dock, is a cool $5.9 million. The Colombian-born singer, who released best-selling albums in English and Spanish last year, bought the home in 2001 for $3.38 million, said agent Jorge Uribe of Sol Sotheby’s International Realty.

The house, located on North Bay Road, is built in the classic Mediterranean style and boasts more than 6,000 feet of living space. While she reportedly wants a bigger pad, Shakira wants to remain in the swanky area, where her neighbors include singer Ricky Martin, actor Matt Damon and catcher Ivan Rodriguez of the Detroit Tigers.

The engaged singer, who will turn 29 on February 2, previously owned an additional piece of Miami Beach real estate, a house on La Gorce Island that she sold for $1.8 million a year ago. While you probably can’t qualify for a Florida home loan big enough to buy Shakira’s place, you can at least watch her on MTV, or catch her on her upcoming worldwide tour, which begins next month.
