The media have echoed a sad news that has shaken the world and that many, all around the world, have mourned. We are talking about the death of one of the most internationally recognized names, especially as far as the sphere of political life is concerned. This is the case of Silvio Berlusconi. Born in Milan on September 29, 1936, he was an Italian politician, businessman, investor, sports journalist and media mogul who owes much of the recognition he has enjoyed over the years to having been the founder and president of the telecommunications corporation Mediaset.
It is precisely because of the relevance of the position he has held that, over the years, we have been able to receive a lot of information about his professional life. On the contrary, what we know about his personal and family life is not so much. For this reason, from Look At The Square we have prepared this article, which will be of great help to you to discover who and how many are the children who will inherit his millionaire fortune.
This was Silvio Berlusconi
In order to go into more intimate aspects of his life and talk about them, first it is important to review his early years. He was the first son of Rosa Bossi and Luigi Berlusconi. Thus, the marriage of his parents decided to further expand the family and gave him his two siblings, Paolo Berlusconi and Maria Antonietta Francesca Berlusconi, both younger than him.
As far as his academic education is concerned, Berlusconi studied law at the University of Milan, but very soon after he began to dedicate himself to business. In fact, at the age of 23 he had already started in real estate and construction. However, this sphere of work to which he dedicated himself was soon to change completely.
Silvio Berlusconi’s career path
In the 1960s, Silvio Berlusconi decided to enter the media, buying stakes in several Italian newspapers. This strategy did not stop there, but led him to create Channel 5 television in 1980.
By the early 1990s, he controlled the three main Italian television channels, as well as the Mondadori publishing group, several newspapers and magazines, studios and movie theaters, Italy’s leading department store chain and a soccer club, Milan.
However, this was still too little for what he aspired to, and so he decided to dedicate himself to the world of politics as well. He created his own party with an ambiguous ultra-liberal ideology, Forza Italia. He became Prime Minister as early as 1994. Since then, his relevance and influence in the world has been truly outstanding.
How many children does Silvio Berlusconi have?
Returning to more personal aspects of his life, it is important to focus now on the people who have shared his day-to-day life with Berlusconi. Throughout his life he has officially had two marriages. The first was with Carla Dall’Oglio, in 1965, and with her he had his first two children, Marina Elvira and Pier Silvio.
His second wife was Veronica Lario. With her he had his other three children, Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi. Knowing this, we can say that Berlusconi has had a total of five children in his life, with two different women. They will be the ones who, after the death of the three-time Italian Prime Minister, will directly inherit his great fortune. Specifically, and according to sources, this would amount to some 6.9 billion dollars.
