The late former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi left roughly $109 million to his 33-year-old girlfriend Marta Fascina, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
Fascina, a young lawmaker, and Berlusconi apparently built a very close relationship toward the end of his life, according to Bloomberg. The Italian mogul died in June at the age of 86, leaving the majority of his empire to his eldest heirs, €100 million to his brother Paolo and €30 million to Marcello Dell’Utri, one of his closest political and business advisors.
The millions left to Fascina were revealed on Thursday when the details of Berlusconi’s will were made public. The pair had a close relationship for the three years prior to his death, and she remained with him in the months leading up to his death.

They never officially married, but had an unofficial ceremony to share and celebrate their love in 2022. Reports suggest that Berlusconi referred to Fascina as his “wife” on his deathbed, according to the Guardian.
Despite being described as a largely private figure, Bloomberg hinted that Fascina would have a huge amount of sway over Berlusconi’s party now that its founder is no more. (RELATED: Listen To The New Italian PM For Two Minutes, And You’ll See Exactly Why They’re All Freaking Out)
Berlusconi hand-wrote his final will, leaving all of his stock in equal parts to his two children Marina and Pier Silvio, with the rest in equal parts to all five of children, Marina, Pier, Barbara, Eleonora, and Luigi.
