Salma Hayek Embraces Financial Independence Despite Marriage to Billionaire François-Henri Pinault
Salma HayekIn a candid revelation, acclaimed actress Salma Hayek has shared insights into her financial independence and personal motivations despite being married to billionaire François-Henri Pinault. The "Frida" star, who tied the knot with the French businessman in 2009, has been vocal about the pressure she feels to earn her own income, even as her husband presides over a luxury retail empire that includes brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Hayek, 58, expressed that she supports many aspects of her life on her own. "I have the pressure to make a certain amount of money, and I like it. And now, I decided, I want to make more", she said. Notably, Hayek and Pinault, 62, do not have a prenuptial agreement, and they maintain separate financial affairs.
The actress, known for her roles in films like "House of Gucci" and "Eternals", reflected on the challenges and unexpected attention that comes with marrying into wealth. Despite the common misconception that her marriage might have been financially motivated, Hayek emphasized their genuine connection. "To me, the excitement about having a lot of money was that I didn’t have to think about money", she remarked. Yet, after marrying Pinault, she found that money became a dominant topic of conversation among her social circle and beyond.
The couple recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary, marking a decade and a half of a partnership that has thrived on mutual respect and shared values. Hayek celebrated the milestone on Instagram, noting the importance of appreciating love and companionship.
Throughout her career, Hayek has remained a symbol of resilience and persistence in Hollywood, defying age-related stereotypes and continuing to succeed in an industry known for its competitiveness. Her story serves as a testament to her unwavering tenacity and her commitment to personal and professional growth, irrespective of her spouse's wealth.
