Barcelona legend Gerard Pique's ex Shakira and Kim Kardashian eyeing purchase of same Miami mansion - Reports
Colombian pop star and Gerard Pique’s former partner Shakira could reportedly go toe-to-toe with renowned model and businesswoman Kim Kardashian over a Miami mansion.
Pique and Shakira put an end to their 11-year-old relationship in June last year. After the breakup, the pop singer stayed put at her and Pique’s Barcelona residence with their two children, Milan and Sasha, while the former Spain superstar moved out.
At the start of April, the Colombian left Barcelona to set down roots in Miami, Florida. The singer already has a home in Miami, but according to the Spanish publication Diario AS (via Semana magazine), she's now eyeing a much bigger one.
It's believed that Shakira’s search for a lavish mansion took her to the Fisher Island area of Miami, which is home to many millionaires. After going through many properties, she has set her sights on a beautiful mansion that would be able to accommodate her family.
However, according to Vanguard magazine, she's not the only celebrity interested in the mansion. It has been claimed that Kim Kardashian is also keen to purchase the property.
Kardashian, who hit Forbes’ billionaire list in 2023, has many luxurious properties around the world. As per Hello Magazine, she purchased a $70 million Malibu home in 2022. The combined property valuation of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty is believed to be over $200 million.
If Kardashian is interested in acquiring the property in Fisher Island, Shakira, who has a net worth of $300 million, could have a tough time outbidding her.

According to CBS, the singer will receive the award at the "Mujeres Latinas en la Musica" (Latin Women in Music) festival that will air on the Spanish TV channel Telemundo on May 7.
