Actress Salma Hayek and husband Francois-Henri Pinault who are moving to London because it is 'cosmopolitan' Hollywood star Salma Hayek and her billionaire French husband are moving to Britain. François-Henri Pinault, France’s third richest man, is relocating his family to London. Pinault, the chief executive of Kering, a luxury goods group, has an estimated fortune of £9 billion. The capital has recently become a popular destination for wealthy French, who are seeking to avoid a 75 per cent supertax introduced by increasingly unpopular Socialist President François Hollande. But despite the recent exodus of millionaires from France, Ms Hayek insisted that her family were moving to London for career reasons and not for tax purposes.
