According to a report, the late Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister, left his companion Marta Fascina a staggering €100 million ($109 million) upon his passing on June 12, 2023.
In four different governments from 1994 to 1995, 2001 to 2006, and 2008 to 2011, Silvio Berlusconi, an Italian media magnate and politician, held the position of prime minister. After being hospitalized for treatment of chronic leukemia, the three-time former Italian prime minister and media tycoon passed away on June 12 at the age of 86.
The 33-year-old Fascina is reportedly entitled to €100 million from Berlusconi’s riches, according to the story. Thursday saw the release of Berlusconi’s will, who passed away last month. The ex-premier’s decision to mostly transfer his economic empire to his oldest heirs is also a provision of the will, according to Bloomberg.
According to information from Silvio Berlusconi’s will that was made public on Thursday by Italian media, he left his two eldest children control of his media empire while leaving his brother and companion each a 100 million euro inheritance from his estimated 5 billion euro fortune.
In addition, Berlusconi gave €100 million to his brother Paolo before passing away at age 86 following a protracted illness. The former PM also bequeathed €30 million to Marcello Dell’Utri, a trusted business and political advisor who was once found guilty of having ties to organized crime.
During the former prime minister’s last months, Fascina, a legislator for Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party, stayed by his side. They had been dating for roughly three years. Fascina is a reclusive individual who avoids the media, but it’s anticipated that she will play a big role in determining the direction of the party going forward, which is undergoing a metamorphosis as a result of the passing of its founder.
Although Berlusconi, who has been married twice and divorced, never had a legal marriage to Fascina, the two did hold an informal, nonreligious ceremony to commemorate their union in 2022. As part of his dying will and testament, Berlusconi wrote to his heirs, “Thank you, much love to all of you.”
According to the news agency ANSA, Berlusconi’s net worth was calculated at 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion), which includes his publicly owned Fininvest, which is worth more than $3 billion, as well as real estate assets worth over 700 million euros ($760 million), stocks, pieces of art, and cash.
According to a copy of the will that was made public by Italian media sources, Berlusconi made his decision on the division of his commercial interests in 2006. In January, after he was hospitalized for examinations, he added the bequests to Fascia and Dell’Ultri and his brother in 2020.
