Despite being married to 62-year-old billionaire François-Henri Pinault, the Mexican American actress, 58, talked candidly about her financial freedom.
“I support a lot of the aspects of my life and myself,” Hayek stated in a cover interview with the Wall Street Journal. “I enjoy the pressure to earn a specific quantity of money. I’ve now determined that I want to produce more.
I became the best version of myself at that point,” said Hayek.
Hayek became well-known in Hollywood with her role in the 1995 movie “Desperado.” She then starred in “From Dusk Till Dawn,” and “Fools Rush In” (1997) was her big break.
Even though Hayek had her own Hollywood fortune, she married French entrepreneur Pinault in 2009. Luxury brands owned by Pinault’s company include Saint Laurent and Gucci.
Hayek said she was astonished by several aspects of tremendous affluence throughout their 15-year marriage.
After marrying into the Pinault family, she remarked, “It turned out that everyone wanted to talk to me about money, and the excitement of having a lot of money was that I didn’t have to think about money.” “I’m getting approached by strangers who aren’t even friends, but they feel that since they’re wealthy, we ought to be friends.
