“For me, the exciting thing about having a lot of money was that I didn’t have to think about money, and it turned out that the only thing people wanted to talk to me about was money,” she explained after marrying into the Pinault family . “I’ve had strangers come up to me who aren’t even friends, but they think we should be friends because they’re rich too.”

The couple share one child together, daughter Valentina, 17. Hayek is also stepmother to Pinault’s son with Linda Evangelista, Augustin, “Auggie”, and his children from his first marriage, François and Mathilde.
