  • Annual Allen & Company conference - dubbed the 'billionaire summer camp' - began in Sun Valley, Idaho, Tuesday 
  • The invite-only event attracts the biggest names from the worlds of finance, technology and media
  • Salma Hayek added some glamour to the proceedings when she showed up with husband Francois-Henri Pinault
  • Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Rupert Murdoch, Harvey Weinstien and Micahel Bloomberg were also seen arriving

Salma Hayek added some unexpected star power to this year's Allen & Company conference as she showed up with her billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering, on Thursday. 

The actress seemed excited as she was spotted walking with her husband between sessions.

The same cannot be said however of Mark Zuckerberg's wife Priscilla Chan, who looked bored as she tagged along with the Facebook founder.

Hollywood was also represented by Ron Meyer, Bob Iger, Harvey Weinstein and Brian Grazer.

Grazer was spotted kissing his fourth fiancée Veronica Smiley, former girlfriend of John Cleese, who he proposed to last April. Grazer was previously engaged to Vietnamese violinist Nguyen Giang.

Harvey Weinstein appeared to be at the conference solo, as second wife Georgina Chapman wasn't with him while he worked the Sun Valley Lodge plaza in Idaho.

Warren Buffet was one of the later arrivals, after the media tech industry's biggest names - including Apple's Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, and Rupert Murdoch - graced the retreat in fleeces and name tags. 

The moguls mostly spend their down time cycling, relaxing, or walking through the grounds with their significant other.

The big question now is what major deals will be made over the course of the next week.

Barry Diller arrived with his wife Diane von Furstenberg on Wednesday but dismissed questions, telling reporters it was too early in the morning to talk about China. 

When Tim Cook walked past, reporters asked if he felt ok about the Apple Watch, which has been something of a flop. He said nothing but raised a thumbs-up.

And Elon Musk merely grinned at photographers as he passed with his wife Talulah. 

The pair have had a publicly turbulent relationship since getting together five years ago. They first married in 2010 but divorced in 2012, before marrying again in 2013 and separating months later. In January this year they reunited and friends say they plan to hold a commitment ceremony.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and now CEO of Twitter, was seen strolling through the grounds on a break with a trimmed beard and a leather jacket rather than sporty vest. 

The event, hosted by boutique investment firm Allen & Company, has consistently attracted heavy hitters and spawned blockbuster deals including Disney's $19billion acquisition of ABC in 1995. 

Roughly 300 attendees are invited each year, and an overwhelmingly majority of them are in the technology field. 

This year's conference runs through Sunday and like every other year kicks off with a cookout on Tuesday and concludes with a more formal dinner hosted by Allen.

In between those invited guests take business and the economy, and hopefully make a big sale or acquisition. 

U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter addressed 'the importance of a strong partnership between private sector innovators and government' during a panel on Thursday, according to Nate Christensen, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Defense.
