In a shocking revelation, the late former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has left a staggering €100 million to his girlfriend, Marta Fascina, in his will. This unexpected bequest has now come to light, as the details of Berlusconi’s shared estate were unveiled to his family members.
Berlusconi, who passed away last month at the age of 86, also used his will to resolve a long-standing dispute among his five children regarding control over his vast business empire. The Daily Mail reported that the ex-AC Milan owner allocated €30 million to an associate known to have connections with the mafia. The will has been described as “worthy of a soap opera,” due to its dramatic nature.
The bulk of Berlusconi’s extraordinary £5.8 billion portfolio, encompassing publishing, banking, and television interests, has been bestowed upon his eldest two children. These substantial assets are a testament to the ex-PM’s shrewd business acumen and long-lasting entrepreneurial success.
It is worth noting that despite the significant inheritance granted to Marta Fascina, the 33-year-old girlfriend, who happened to be 53 years younger than the late billionaire, never married Berlusconi. This decision was reportedly influenced by his children, who discouraged any formal union between the two.
In addition to Fascina, Berlusconi’s will also allocated €100 million to his younger brother, Paolo, as reported by the Daily Mail. The late prime minister expressed in his will that these bequests, along with the sum provided to his mafia-linked business associate Marcello Dell’Utri, were given in recognition “of the love I had for them and the love they had for me.”
The revelations of Silvio Berlusconi’s will have sparked intense public interest, shedding light on his personal relationships and the intricate dynamics within his family. This unexpected distribution of wealth serves as a testament to the complex nature of the ex-PM’s personal life, further cementing his enduring legacy as a flamboyant and enigmatic figure in Italian politics and business circles.
