The legacy of the former Italian Prime Minister and founder of the Forza Italia party, Silvio Berlusconi, who died on the morning of June 12, is estimated at about 4 billion euros, according to Corriere della Sera.
Berlusconi’s main assets include a 61% stake in the Fininvest media group, which he founded in 1978. The rest of the shares are owned by his children. According to the latest report for 2021, the company’s net income was 4.9 billion euros. Corriere calculated that Berlusconi received €170,000 a day from the group’s activities (calculated over the last 2,000 days).
The President of Fininvest is Berlusconi’s daughter Marina. The group includes a number of other companies, including Mediaset, the largest Italian publishing house Mondadori and others.
Also, the ex-premier of Italy owned more than a dozen villas throughout the country, apartments in Rome and Milan and other real estate. Corriere writes that it has a 6-year-old Audi A17 and three ships registered to it: the 1990 Magnum 70 Sweet Dragon, the 1977 San Maurizio, and the 1965 sailboat Principessa Vai Via.
In addition, Berlusconi owned the Monza football club, which plays in Serie A.
La Repubblica specifies that the legacy will also include investments in digital companies such as Satispay and Soldo. The newspaper estimates the market value of shares in Fininvest at 2.9 billion euros. In addition, the material refers to three aircraft and a helicopter belonging to Berlusconi.
Forbes estimated Berlusconi’s fortune at $7 billion in 2023.
