Shakira Net Worth Is Her Own; Judge Rules Ex Has to Keep His Hands Off Her Money

Shakira’s net worth is hers to keep, according to a judge. Shakira banked a major legal victory as a judge rules that her ex-boyfriend has no legal claim to the hypnotic hip-swaying singer's fortune. Shakira’s net worth is safe. The judge ruled that Shakira’s hips don’t lie.

Shakira’s net worth was under attack until a judge in Geneva, Switzerland rejected a recent claim from her ex-boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa that said they should freeze her substantial assets until the court decides that what he alleges is due to him is rightfully his. Shakira’s ex, De la Rúa, claimed in a $100 million lawsuit that he first filed last year there was an oral agreement between him and the South American star that they made before they broke up in 2011.

As far as Shakira's legal team is concerned, the Swiss court made the right decision in their June 18 ruling was right-on.

Shakira’s lawyer, Ezequiel Camerini, told E! News, "In a fifteen page well-reasoned opinion the Swiss court dismissed all of Mr. de la Rúa's claims that he was entitled to any participation in Shakira's past, current or future business, brand or assets, including future income." He says that affidavits that were given by Shakira's other business associates clearly showed "that the parties never had the intention to form a partnership or joint venture." Camerini also pointed out that Shakira and de la Rúa signed a two-page "prenuptial-type agreement applicable to unmarried couples" where they "expressly manifested their wish to conserve, each separately, the totality of their past, current and future assets."

Camerini said that de la Rúa does not plan to appeal the Swiss court's decision. In the lawsuit, Rúa claimed he was instrumental in shaping Shakira's highly successful image.
