News from the Celebrities: Shakira is selling her Caribbean island
Shakira is selling her Caribbean island, Bonds Cay, which she purchased nearly 20 years ago with fellow celebrities.
Shakira has decided to sell Bonds Cay, a Caribbean island she co-owned with former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. The island, located about 200 kilometers south of Miami, spans over 2.5 square kilometers and features white sandy beaches and lush forests. The asking price for the island is approximately 30 million dollars. Shakira and Waters, among other notable figures, originally bought the island nearly two decades ago with plans to transform it into a luxury retreat featuring hotels, villas, and galleries; however, the reasons for these plans falling through remain undisclosed.
Since her high-profile breakup with Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué in early 2022, Shakira has been living in Florida with her two sons. The island's sale marks a significant change in her lifestyle following the split, as she has shifted her focus towards raising her children and continuing her music career. The move to sell Bonds Cay may also reflect broader personal and financial decisions she is making in light of recent events in her life.
Roger Waters, who shares ownership of the island, juggles his time between London and a residence in Bridgehampton, New York. The decision to sell the island could influence the real estate market for luxury properties in the Bahamas, as it draws attention to the lifestyle choices of high-profile celebrities in the region and showcases the potential for Caribbean investment opportunities.
