Late Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi leaves N84bn for girlfriend in his will

A former prime minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, has left many surprised by his decision to bequeath about €100M to his girlfriend, Marta Fascina upon his death.

Dockaysworld gathered from Italian media that the former President who passed away recently also made another curious addition to the will which saw € 30 million left to an associate with mafia ties.

In life, the former leader had been 53 years older than his girlfriend who was 33 at the time of his passing. He died at the age of 86.

The billionaire, who was one of Italy’s richest men managed to settle a dispute over which of his five children would take control of his business empire.

The three-time Italian prime minister, whose empire is estimated to be worth more than €6bn, also left €100m to his brother, Paolo, and €30m to Marcello Dell’Utri, a former senator with his Forza Italia party who served jail time for association with the mafia.

The bulk of the tycoon’s portfolio of publishing, banking, and TV interests – worth a staggering £5.8billion – has been left to his eldest two children.
