Colombian megastar Shakira has reached a deal with Spanish authorities to avoid a trial over accusations of tax evasion. She will pay a fine of £6.4 million (€7.3m) and £378,000 (€432,000) to avoid jail time. Despite the hefty fine, it represents only a fraction of her estimated net worth of £240 million ($300m or €274m). Shakira's career has seen her transform from a young singer in Colombia to a global pop star, with hits in both Spanish and English. She has sold over 125 million albums worldwide and is considered one of the most successful Latin singers of all time.
