Fortune Magazine has ranked Salma Hayek the second richest Latin American (just behind JLO). They claim that she is banking $100 million dollars. Salma says this is VERY far from the truth which makes me second guess the entire list. I thought Fortune magazine would do a little research before posting these personal financial numbers. Salma insists that if it were true, she would donate a large majority of it to Mexico.
“It’s a huge lie. It’s very, very far from reality. I don’t have that amount of money. Somebody sent me it and I laughed. It’s a bit like a joke. Obviously I have never earned $100 million and I wouldn’t even want to. With things as they are in Mexico, it bothers me that they put me in a group of millionaires with $100 million I don’t have when there are so many people dying of hunger. If I had $100 million I would have retired and would be doing more things on an altruistic level than I can now. I would have opened centers in Mexico for violence against women and many other things.” (source)
