Latina Hollywood icon Salma Hayek recently celebrated her 56th birthday in style. Despite already being in her 50s, she still looks great, posting images and videos of herself rocking a red two-piece bikini during her birthday celebration. 

As she celebrates her birthday, though, how much is her net worth these days, excluding her billionaire French hubby's money, of course?

Accusations of Salma Hayek Being a Gold Digger Still Prevalent

In 2009, Salma Hayek married Francois Henri Pinault, the CEO of French luxury goods brand Kering and one of the richest men in the world. Unfortunately, many could not comprehend why she could marry the tycoon, who was already 60 at the time of their marriage,

Because of this, many have accused her of being a gold digger. One of those who thought so was actor Dax Shapard, who stated in 2021 during his "Armchair Expert" podcast that he just could not see why she would marry Pinault. However, the actor confessed that after meeting the billionaire, he found that he was quite good-looking, foxy, and charming. He confessed that he could have been broke and would have still been a bombshell.

Though despite her husband being quite the charmer, many still accuse Salma Hayek of only marrying the billionaire for his money. For her part, she understood the accusations and said that what people see in the pictures does not even show who Pinault is really as a person. She added that the billionaire has made her become a much better person and helped her grow in a good and healthy way.

While people still call her a gold digger, they do not account for the fact that the fiery Latina can make millions just by herself and that she does not need Francois Henri Pinault's money to live a rich and luxurious lifestyle.

She rakes in millions just appearing in movies or TV series, and she has already made more than enough money from her decades as an actress. From appearing in Mexican telenovelas like "Teresa" to high-budget Hollywood movies like Marvel's "The Eternals," her decades-spanning works have made her a Hollywood icon. This also means that studios are willing to pay top dollar to have her appear in their movie. Oh, an Oscar nomination also helps make producers want to have her star in one of their big-budget films.

Aside from her acting gigs, the Hollywood icon also has her own production company, Ventanarosa Productions, which she founded in 1999. The company currently has a deal with HBO Max, as well as produced several popular series in both English and Spanish. This, of course, includes Ugly Betty.

With her acting career and production company, Celebrity Net Worth estimates her overall net worth to be around $200 million. This is her money alone, not counting the billions that her husband has. Not bad for a woman that people call a "gold digger," right?
