Beyonce wasn’t the only celebrity recognized at the glitzy and pricey Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation Diamond Ball. Miami’s own Gloria Estefan was also a distinguished recipient of the award. Congratulations go out to her! The Latin singer will also be honored at the Latin Grammy’s next month as their ‘Person of the Year’. I guess there are lots of reasons to celebrate in the Estefan household this month. Though I have to ask, what kind of award is ‘Person of the Year’? Couldn’t they just award her with an achievement award or something? It seems to me that they’re just trying to pull some things in by giving her that award.

She said she’s never going to tour again but we all know how farewells go in the music business. Gloria Estefan didn’t take her farewell tour overseas a few years ago so the Latina superstar began taking her final goodbye outing recently in Valencia, Spain. The singer performed to a massive crowd of 50,000 fans. Gloria will continue her tour all throughout October, hitting many cities across Europe. She says that she’s ruled out any other major tours after this one but she has left the door open for one-off shows and maybe even a Las Vegas residency. Everyone ends up in Vegas sooner or later.

One of the reasons Gloria Estefan retired from touring is that she has enough money to last for the rest of her life. In addition to that, she’s also a businesswoman. On Thursday, the singer and her husband Emilio celebrated the opening of Costa d’Este Beach Resort in Vero Beach, Florida. They own that hotel as well as another hotel in Miami Beach, a few restaurants and other businesses. In other words, they’re loaded. Of their new venture, Gloria said “We developed this stunning resort because it made good business sense, but it was also a labor of love because Vero Beach is our home away from home and has been for six years. And we wanted to share this special community with vacationers from around the world.”
