Donation in the amount of 3.5 million dollars, made by Salma Hayek to Francois-Henri Pinault
At the first wedding that Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault had together, which took place on Valentine’s Day, there were no cameras or photographers present. Their wedding was distinguished by a more expensive display, which was to be expected given that it included a famous actress from Hollywood and one of the wealthiest men in France as one of the participants.A-list superstars from the fields of film, music, and fashion descended upon Venice this weekend for two days of celebrations. The festivities got underway in 2009 with a rehearsal supper in the guise of a masquerade held at Punta Della Dogana, a historic custom house in the canal city that dates back to the 17th century.
The couple exchanged their vows in a heartfelt ceremony the following day in front of 150 members of their families, friends, and other loved ones at La Fenice, an opera venue built in the 18th century.The bride’s outfit was finished off with a floor-length veil and a wedding dress designed by Nicholas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. A reception held at the Palazzo Grassi was attended by celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Bono, Stella McCartney, and even Jacques Chirac. She had previously served as President of France. While the audience sang “Over the Rainbow,” Bono and Woody Harrelson joined Charlize Theron and Bono on stage to sing “Stand By Me.”
