About Silvio Berlusconi & family
Starting in the late 1970s, Silvio Berlusconi built media group Fininvest into a national force, importing American shows like 'Baywatch' to Italy.
He entered politics in the 1990s and was first elected prime minister of Italy in 1994. He was convicted of bribing a former senator in 2015.
The three-time prime minister was convicted of tax fraud in 2014 and was initially banned from running for political office until 2019.
An Italian court lifted the ban in May 2018, and Berlusconi won a seat in the European Parliament the following year.
His fortune, which he shares with his five children, includes stakes in media, publishing and banking firms.
