1) Dancing With Myself - Shakira

The Colombia-born international pop star has a net worth of $300 million dollars. Shakira is a singer, songwriter, producer, belly dancer and philanthropist. She has sold more than 125 million albums and songs worldwide, which also makes her one of the most successful singers of all time.

Between the ages of 10 and 13, she started getting recognised for her music at local events. The singer's debut album, Magia, was released in June 1991 when she was only 13 years old along with three other singles.

As much as her first album gave her exposure, it didn't fare well, just like her second album, Peligro, in 1993. However, it was followed by two songs, Pies Descalzos in 1995 and Donde Estan los Ladrones?, which were both a hit in Spanish speaking countries.
