The French citizen and businessman also has an entry to the Hollywood world through his wife, the beautiful and talented Latina Powerhouse herself, Salma Hayek. After the Notre Dame donation was made, Salma expressed the honor and joy she felt for being a part of the Pinault family. The Drunk Parents protagonist wrote, “Today more than ever I feel proud to be part of the Pinault family. Not only for their personal and heart felt participation in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris but also because their contribution wont be claiming any tax deductions from the government. My husband and father in law are two generous french citizens, who sincerely understand the importance of this spiritual, cultural and historical treasure from Paris to the world.”
