His actress wife actually does pay taxes.

Sure, go after the whistle blower who blew away the notion that the rich actually pay some taxes.

They don’t.

They always talk about how they pay their fair share and to go ahead and raise their taxes because they are happy to do so.

They don’t.

It is why the depending on the day, richest or second richest man in the world so badly wanted US citizenship and why he takes pains to be in the US enough days each year to only pay taxes here.

In his home country he couldn’t avoid paying huge amounts of taxes.

As a US citizen though, he pays none.

What is funny though is his actress wife actually does pay taxes.

Salma Hayek, François-Henri Pinault Check Out of Bel Air Estate

Much to the chagrin of nosy passersby and squawking neighbors, Salma Hayek is officially a former Bel Air resident. The Academy Award-nominated Mexican actor and her French multibillionaire tycoon husband François-Henri Pinault started 2020 off fresh, packing up and moving out of their longtime L.A. house this past weekend. An entire cavalcade of moving trucks and accompanying army of contracted workers assisted in their residential exit, causing some traffic congestion and blaring horns on the local roads.

So the rumors go, Hayek and Pinault have departed because they were feeling a wee bit cramped in their 8,000 sq. ft. home. Last year, they submitted plans to demolish the entire residence and replace it with a 17,500 sq. ft. modern monster mansion. While it hasn’t been publicly announced if those plans were approved, it would appear the pair are indeed swiftly moving forward with their scheduled demolition of the existing structure.

The high-society couple acquired the .9-acre property way back in 2007, when they paid Kelsey and Camille Grammer $13.5 million for the 1940s-era residence, which sits privately behind tall trees and gates. In the 13 years since, they’ve remodeled the place at least once, spending hundreds of thousands on a second-floor expansion and renovation. The vaguely Cape Cod-style house currently contains 9 bedrooms and 10 baths, and has a spectacular over-the-treetops view of the L.A. basin and Century City skyline.- Source
