Salma Hayek has long proved that her real life could rival any Hollywood screenplay. The 60-year-old actress has not only taken on dozens of memorable roles, including Frida and From Dusk Till Dawn, but has also become part of one of France’s most powerful families.

The combined fortune of Hayek and her husband, businessman François-Henri Pinault, is estimated at around $15 billion. Pinault is the chairman and CEO of luxury conglomerate Kering, which owns Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen. The family also owns the renowned auction house Christie’s and the legendary Château Latour wine estate.

The couple met in 2006 through a mutual acquaintance connected to Gucci. At first, Hayek did not even want to go on the date because she mistakenly assumed she was being introduced to a much older man named François. But the meeting went ahead — and a romance soon blossomed between them.

Their relationship was not without complications. Around the same time, Pinault’s former girlfriend, supermodel Linda Evangelista, learned she was pregnant and gave birth to their son, Augustin, in 2006. In 2007, Hayek and François-Henri welcomed their daughter, Valentina. In 2008, the couple briefly split, but they soon reunited.

In 2009, Hayek and Pinault had a lavish wedding in Venice. The celebrations began with a masquerade ball before continuing with a ceremony at the famous Teatro La Fenice opera house. In 2018, the couple renewed their vows in Bora Bora.

Despite the family’s multibillion-dollar fortune, Hayek has continued to work. She has appeared in films including The Hitman’s Bodyguard and House of Gucci, and has supported UNICEF for nearly two decades. In 2018, the actress recalled how, during a trip to Sierra Leone, she breastfed a baby whose mother was desperately asking for help because she did not have enough milk.

Hayek has also developed a warm relationship with Linda Evangelista and her son, Augustin. In 2023, the supermodel revealed that Hayek flew to see her for Thanksgiving when she was feeling unwell and personally prepared the holiday dinner.

The Pinault family has become one big blended family for the actress. Hayek is close not only to her daughter, Valentina, but also to her husband’s children from previous relationships. In August 2026, she became a grandmother for the first time when her stepson François Jr. and Countess Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck welcomed a baby boy named François.

Yet Hayek has made it clear that she considers her relationship with her husband far more important than the family fortune.

“He is the best husband in the world. With him, I can be myself, and I never feel that anyone is trying to limit me,” the actress has said.

According to Hayek, the secret to their marriage is simple: when conflicts arise, they focus their energy on solving the problem rather than trying to find someone to blame.

“We never said anything nasty to each other. There’s no resentment,” she said.
