His children want power and money: Now there are problems with Berlusconi’s billion-dollar legacy

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

The corpse had not yet cooled before the dispute over the inheritance began. Many normal families know this. The situation is no different for billionaire Silvio Berlusconi († 86). Constellation complex: Cavaliere had five children. Marina (56) and Pier Silvio (54) are from their first marriages. Barbara from his second marriage (38), Eleonora (37) and later Luigi (34). None of the five children have political ambitions. But they inherited their financial ambitions from their famous father.

This will lead to a huge money and power struggle. Now the children of the second marriage also claim their share. Berlusconi saw the future of this debate ten years ago and said of his children: “Everyone wants my legacy. I’m not even dead!”

“I can take the elevator”

It’s not without reason that Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi feel at a disadvantage. For Berlusconi early placed the two firstborns in central positions of his empire. Marina Berlusconi inherited her father in 1998. She was appointed president of the family holding company, Fininvest. Instead of managing her father’s business, she immediately took charge and has been leading with a swift style ever since. “I could take the elevator instead of climbing all the stairs,” she had once admitted openly.

His brother, Pier Silvio, is similarly ticking. Politics? No thanks! “I’m helping my father more by taking care of Mediaset,” he says. So he joined the TV group 22 years ago. And her father runs the television business of Silvio’s family empire. Management takes no steps to vacate his seat. He also sits on various boards of directors of Berlusconi’s multi-billion dollar empire and is considered the most powerful of Berlusconi’s descendants.

Pre-programmed gossip

Three children, Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi Berlusconi, who were born later, are currently excluded from operational management. Barbara ruled the fate of football club AC Milan. Now he too wants more power and billions his share. The point of contention should be Mediaset’s 61.21 percent stake in Fininvest. It should be divided equally among Silvio Berlusconi’s five children. The gossip is programmed there.

After all: Dispute should be limited to five children. It is said that the debts of Berlusconi’s partner Marta Fascina (33) were contractually arranged by Cavaliere before his death. (be)
