Shakira's Poisoned Gift to a Fan

She had even considered the costs. But Colombian singer Shakira's incredible gift to a fan proved way too much for him on a daily basis. He had to sell the super car he had received.

Michael Mejía, a fan of Shakira, was over the moon when he learnt that he had won the Lamborghini Urus from the Soltera music video in a competition. To avoid putting him in a financial bind, the Colombian star's team even added a gift of 90,000 dollars (£83,000) to cover expenses such as insurance, registration, and maintenance of the high-performance Italian SUV.

Sadly for Meija, he quickly ran through all the money given the crazy running costs of Lamborghinis. The middle-class man admits to having spent $95,000 to enjoy the car for a few months, including monthly insurance fees of $2,500.

It was too much for him. He had no choice but to put the bright purple Urus with a green interior up for sale. He probably didn't lose out entirely, as he likely found a fan of beautiful Italian cars or the singer who could afford to take care of it.

The young man also learnt a lesson: "[I] won a car that only millionaires can afford to maintain".
