affluent, altruistic, amass, indigent, refute
Salma Hayek refutes the claim made by Fortune that she has amassed $100 million, which would make her the second most affluent Latin American woman in Hollywood. She emphasizes that this amount is "very, very far from reality" and that it bothers her to be grouped with millionaires when so many people are indigent and dying of hunger. She explains that if she were that wealthy, she would be "doing more things on an altruistic level."
