With an estimated value of 11 million dollars, Shakira has a dream mansion in Miami that, however, she cannot sell because the real estate splendor disappears during the rainy season, when half the city’s sewage ends up near that property.
The Colombian singer and her husband moved into the house in 2001, for $2,500,000. The mansion was put up for sale in 2018. Initially, Shakira settled on North Bay Road, the street is a favorite of celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Matt Damon and the Spanish Alejandro Sanz also have homes there.

But after the separation of the former Barcelona soccer player and when she moved permanently to Miami with her children, Shakira reinforced her desire to get rid of the property.
The problem is that the house is at the mouth of Miami’s sewers, which makes negotiations difficult. Solving the problem would involve a million-dollar investment.
A journalist who has followed the alternatives to the sales attempts has pointed out that “the bathrooms are below the water level. “Over the years, the water level has risen and every time it rains, all the sewage from Miami Beach ends up in Shakira’s house.”
“The investment to solve the problem would be very high, because it involves raising the property above sea level and making a tube underneath. And there are few companies that dare to do this”
