The Pinaults, one of France’s three richest families, pledged their donation alongside the other two families – which own the LVMH group and L’Oreal – which made headlines in 2019.
On the day of the fire, Hayek shared a photo of the iconic building engulfed in flames, writing, among other things, in her post: “Like many others, I am deeply shocked and saddened to see Notre Dame burning down. I love you Paris.”
