Pinault oversees Kering, the parent company of Gucci, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). His father, Francois, 81, founded the company in 1963 as a timber concern in western France. Today Kering has a market cap of more than $58 billion. Since last summer, the company's share price has [more than doubled](http://www.kering.com/en/finance/kering-share/share-price) as Gucci and YSL sales [surpassed](https://www.ft.com/content/7cad5862-0821-36c1-a243-5c320fb1463f) those of rivals. Kering shares hit an all-time high Wednesday after the company [reported](https://www.ft.com/content/3e33de90-73a6-30b2-ae4f-053a10acd393) stronger-than-expected quarterly revenues. After Wednesday's trading session, the Pinault family's fortune stood at $26.1 billion, putting them 29th on the Bloomberg billionaire list. (Bloomberg technically credits the net worth to the elder Pinault, while [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/profile/francois-pinault/) credits the net worth to the entire family.) In addition to its 16 luxury brands, Kering also owns athletic-wear company Puma. And the Pinault family also owns Christie's auction house, and controls a celebrated art collection consisting of more than 2,000 works that includes works by Picasso, Mondrian and Koons. The younger Pinault, 55, has been married to actress Salma Hayek since 2009. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Celebrities", "item": "https://money.com/celebrities/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Salma Hayek's Billionaire Husband Just Made $1.7 Billion in One Day" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/", "name": "Salma Hayek's Billionaire Husband Just Made $1.7 Billion in One Day", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-10-26T18:30:22.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2017-10-26T18:30:22.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Salma Hayek's Billionaire Husband Just Made $1.7 Billion in One Day", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/10/pinaultsalmahayekwealth-em-687401510.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 1997, "caption": "70th Anniversary Red Carpet Arrivals - The 70th Annual Cannes Film Festival" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rob Wile", "url": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/rjwile" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-10-26T18:30:22.000Z", "description": "Luxury fashion magnate Francois-Henri Pinault, who is married to the actress Salma Hayek, added $1.7 billion to his net worth in one day.", "abstract": "Luxury fashion magnate Francois-Henri Pinault, who is married to the actress Salma Hayek, added $1.7 billion to his net worth in one day.", "@id": "https://money.com/francois-henri-pinault-net-worth-billionair-married-salma-hayek/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2017-10-26T18:30:22.000Z", "wordCount": 194, "keywords": [ "Billionaires", "fashion", "Francois-Henri Pinault", "gucci", "salma hayek", "Wealth", "Yves Saint Laurent" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Celebrity", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" ] } ] } ] } ```
