Shakira landed on the No. 4 spot in Forbes.com’s first list of the Top 20 richest women in music, after industry giants Madonna, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion.
Other Latinas making the cut were Christina Aguilera at No. 7 and Jennifer López at No. 18.
Madonna topped Forbes “Cash Queens of Music” list, earning $72 million between June 2006 and June 2007. Streisand followed with $60 million, thanks to her comeback. Dion ranked third with $45 million, largely from her successful “A New Day” show in Las Vegas.
Forbes.com said it compiled the list by examining concert grosses, merchandising revenue, album sales and other revenue from clothing lines, fragrance deals and endorsements.
Shakira earned $38 million, fueled by the "Oral Fixation" tour — 111 concerts total — that took her swirling hips across the globe.
The 30-year-old multiple-Grammy-winner crossover superstar most recently appeared on the soundtrack for the film adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s “Love in the Time of Cholera.”
Staten Island-born Aguilera grossed $20 million thanks to her third studio album “Back to Basics” and deals with Pepsi and Orange, a European cellphone operator.
Aguilera fared behind Beyonce ($27 million), and Gwen Stefani ($26 million), but outgrossed Faith Hill ($19 million), the Dixie Chicks ($18 million) and Mariah Carey ($13 million).
The Bronx-born López cashed in $6 million despite weak album sales. J.Lo’s earnings came mostly from her catalog, clothing sales and up to six highly successful fragrances.
