HuffPost
The "Frida" actor spoke about her financial independence after sharing that she and husband Francois-Henri Pinault never signed a prenuptial agreement.
Despite being married to a billionaire, Salma Hayek hasn’t changed her outlook on the importance of managing personal finances.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Tuesday, Hayek touched on her relationship with husband François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in 2009.
Pinault is the French-born CEO of Kering, which specializes in luxury goods and is the parent company of Balenciaga, Gucci, Alexander McQueen and other labels. He inherited the company from his father in 2005 and, according to Forbes, has an estimated worth of $20.7 billion.
In her WSJ chat, Hayek acknowledged that she and her husband never signed a prenuptial agreement prior to tying the knot and, as a result, keep their finances completely separate.
“I support a lot of the aspects of my life and myself,” she explained. “I have the pressure to make a certain amount of money, and I like it. And now, I decided, I want to make more.” Pinault, she added, supports her ambitions: “I think he finds it kind of sexy.”
