Salma Hayek has shot down recent estimates that she possesses a fortune of £54 million.
Recently the Latin American media reported that the Bandidas star had been placed second behind Jennifer Lopez in a list of Hollywood's highest Latin-American earners in Fortune magazine.
Whilst the magazine denies printing the story and suggests the facts were mixed up, the Mexican actress was astonished by the claims.
She told Reuters: "It's a huge lie. It's very, very far from reality. I don't have that amount of money. Somebody sent me it [the article] and I laughed. It's a bit like a joke. Obviously I have never earned $100 million [£54 million] and I wouldn't even want to."
The 39-year-old continued: "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."
