Location: Bonds Cay, Bahamas
Purchased: $16 million*
Current Value: $19.03 million*

Platinum-selling artist Shakira is the second half of the real estate partnership between her and Pink Floyd songwriter George Waters. The two bought Bonds Cay in 2011 for $16 million. The 550-acre island is part of the Caribbean’s Berry Islands, also known as the “Fish Bowl of the Bahamas.”

So, what does Bond’s Cay look like now, ten years after the singers purchased it? It has kept pretty much all of its natural beauty, including elevations and turquoise water filled with coral reefs and fish. It draws in a lot of tourists who love exploring the island’s five beaches, three bays, multiple waterfalls, and mysterious lagoons.
