Shakira is already said to be one of the highest-earning stars in the music industry.

Daily Mail reports that she could soon see her financial standing rise considerably as she gets set to sign a deal with Sony for $60million.
 

According to the New York Post, the Colombian singer and concert promoter Live Nation are expected to sign on the dotted line for a three-album deal with Sony.
 

Shakira is the latest star in recent years to sign deals with Live Nation.
 

Madonna and Jay-Z have both parted ways with their record labels to sign huge contracts with the promoter.
 

Last month, Shakira won our prizes at the Billboard Latin Music Awards - Female Songs Artist of the Year, Female Albums Artist of the Year, Solo Latin Pop Songs Artist of the Year, and Social Network Artist of the Year.
