FRANCOIS-HENRI PINAULT AND SALMA HAYEK

Fashion and films

Mexican actress Hayek, 50, is set to appear in

four films this year, including the action comedy

The Hitman’s Bodyguard with Samuel L Jackson.

Her husband, Pinault, runs Kering, the luxury

fashion business built by his father, François.

The latter started at the family woodmill before

launching a business trading in timber. In the

1990s he expanded his operation, purchasing

French department store chain Au Printemps

and the Bordeaux winery Château Latour,

before handing over control of the business

empire to his son.

In 2014 Pinault, 54, and Hayek moved to

London, though the former still pays taxes in

France. Kering’s brands include Gucci and

Alexander McQueen, and it had revenues of

€12.4bn in 2016. Pinault also chairs the family

investment vehicle, Artemis. Its stake in Kering

has surged over the past year to £8.56bn, while

the Christie’s auction house, art and other

interests add £5bn. The family is worth

£13.45bn and we ascribe a quarter of that to

Pinault. We add £75m for Hayek, who earns

about £12m a year. 2016: £2.35bn, 46
