Actress Salma Hayek recently revealed details about her financial arrangements with her husband, Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

The couple, who married in 2009, did not sign a prenuptial agreement and Hayek has maintained separate finances throughout their marriage. Known for her roles in films and her philanthropic efforts, Hayek said she often feels motivated to grow her own wealth independently of her billionaire husband.

“I’m supportive of a lot of aspects of my life and myself,” Hayek said, adding, “I have the pressure to make a certain amount of money, and I like that. And now I’ve decided I want to make more.” Despite Pinault’s net worth of approximately $21.8 billion, Hayek emphasized her desire to achieve her own financial success. As their daughter Valentina approaches adulthood, the actress noted that she is exploring business ventures, although the details remain under wraps. She added that Pinault supports her ambitions, saying, “I think he finds it a bit sexy.”

In addition to acting, Hayek is actively involved in philanthropy, devoting much of his time to the Kering Foundation, which focuses on combating gender-based violence. She recently played a key role in organizing the annual fundraising dinner in New York, an event that raised nearly $3 million.

Although Hayek came from a wealthy background, she experienced financial difficulties in her early career after her family lost their fortune. Her marriage to Pinault changed public perception, causing many to focus on her wealth. “The exciting thing about having a lot of money was that I didn’t have to think about money,” she said, although she acknowledged that it attracted the attention of strangers who saw her as part of an exclusive social circle.
