Berlusconi's five children to split his €7 billion legacy
Former Italian Prime Minister, singer, businessman, and TV personality Silvio Berlusconi, who passed away yesterday, was listed 316th in the world's largest fortunes. His €7 billion in assets are to be divided among his five children, reports 7sur7.
Silvio Berlusconi's five children from two marriages - Marina, Pier Silvio, Barbara, Eleonora, and Luigi - hold significant strategic positions in his empire. Two of his eldest were born from his first official union with Carla Dall'Oglio and the three youngest from his second marriage to Veronica Lario (continued below).
Currently, they already enjoy a more than comfortable life, but soon they will become even richer, inheriting (presumably) their father's fortune, estimated at €7 billion.
His eldest daughter, Marina (56 years old), has made good use of her privileges. Although she did not complete her university studies, she quickly ascended the family business ladder. Named "the most influential woman in Italy" by Forbes magazine in 2010, she is currently the president of the holding company Fininvest and the Mondadori group. She clearly assumes the role of the eldest and presents herself as the new "head" of the family.
Silvio Berlusconi's second child, Pier Silvio (54 years old), plays the role of the family's "playboy". He has always been very admiring of his father. As proof, two years ago he himself bought several advertising spots in high-circulation Italian newspapers to pay him tribute. He is now the executive vice-president of the MFE-MediaForEurope group (formerly "Mediaset") and the managing director. He is also the chairman and managing director of RTI.
The eldest daughter from Silvio Berlusconi's second marriage to Veronica Lario, Barbara (38 years old), has held executive positions in "Milan", of which she has been a board member since 2011. She is also a member of the Fininvest administrative board and, together with her sister Eleonora and brother Luigi, manages the H14 branch. She is particularly known to the general public for her media relationships with former "Milan" Brazilian player Pato.
It is currently unknown what Berlusconi left to his last companion, Italian MP from the Forza Italia party Marta Fascina, who is 33 years younger than him. Because the couple were not officially united.
Recall, Silvio Berlusconi died on Monday morning at the age of 86 in the San Raffaele hospital in Milan. He was hospitalised due to a lung infection, related to chronic leukaemia. The state funeral will take place this Wednesday, 14th June, in Milan Cathedral.
