Salma Hayek Net Worth: Salma Hayek is a Mexican-born actress who has a net worth of $200 million. However, it is worth noting that since 2009, Salma has been married to one of the richest people in the world, Francois Henri Pinault. At the time of this writing, Francois is worth $7 billion, but his father is north of $30 billion. Should they ever divorce, Salma’s share of the community property and future support would drastically increase her net worth. But hopefully that will never happen!
