From campus singers to Italy's richest man
Silvio? Berlusconi, 1936, was born in a family of bank employees in Milan, Italy on September 29th.
Berlusconi was an industrialist since he was a child. When he was a child, he made a puppet theater every Christmas, and his friends had to pay if they wanted to see it. After going to school, Berlusconi, who is quite smart, has always been among the best in his grades, although he has not devoted himself to his studies. Usually, Berlusconi earns pocket money by helping his classmates with their lessons, but if his classmates don't improve their grades or fail the exam, he won't take the money. This commercial credit behavior has long been used by Berlusconi, and indirectly laid the foundation for him to create business legends in the future.
Berlusconi also tutored his classmates in Latin. When the teacher asked for a composition, he wrote three articles in one breath within the specified time, and then sold two of them to the highest bidder. After graduating from high school, Berlusconi entered the Department of Justice of Milan University. During his college years, because he was good at playing and singing, he and several classmates organized a "four-person band" and often performed inside and outside the school to earn money for the university. Every summer vacation, Berlusconi even travels through Italy with his companions and becomes a singer on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. He can always mobilize the atmosphere and be sought after by the audience. He sang while pulling, and every time the performance reached its climax, he would walk off the stage and dance with the most beautiful woman on the dance floor.

With the rapid development of European and Italian economies, Milan is full of land, and Berlusconi's wealth has expanded rapidly, earning his first bucket of gold.
Since the late 1970s, Berlusconi has turned to the media and telecommunications industries. 1974, Berlusconi aimed at the radio and television industry that was inconspicuous at that time and was not optimistic about the market. However, he did not rush to set up his own TV station, but first set up a financial investment company to invest in many small and medium-sized TV stations that were in urgent need of capital investment at that time. He bought a large number of TV programs from abroad, especially American movies and TV series, and sold them to regional TV stations at low prices, while he profited from the patch advertisements of these TV programs.
By 2005, Berlusconi's ambitious wealth map has been extended to television, newspaper publishing groups, football clubs and other fields, and with his personal wealth of $654.38+0.2 billion, he rose to the 25th place in Forbes' global rich list and became the richest man in Italy.
After the wealth field, Berlusconi turned his attention to politics, hoping to give consideration to politics and business.
Italian godfather and political madman

Today, Berlusconi, who has experienced political ups and downs, has been appointed Prime Minister of Italy for the third time. As he said: AC Milan is the ever-victorious general on the court, and I am the ever-victorious general in Italian politics.
On the other hand, however, Berlusconi's achievements seem to be lacking. In addition to being exposed to the mafia, there are also calls for him to step down. And Berlusconi's political performance at home and abroad is even more ridiculous.

Berlusconi flew a seaplane with Putin in St. Petersburg, Russia, and made a guest appearance as a pilot, which made Berlusconi even excited. He even thinks that flying a plane is worse than being a prime minister.
Berlusconi has also been widely criticized for his series of extreme remarks.
When Obama was elected president of the United States, he praised Obama as "very dark". In order to encourage Americans to invest in Italy, he said, "Italy is a country worth investing in? One of the reasons for investing in Italy is that we can have beautiful secretaries? Super beautiful girl. "
On February 1 1 day, 2006, Berlusconi compared himself with Jesus. He said, "I am political Jesus. I am a patient victim. I tolerate everyone and I sacrificed myself for everyone.

"Only Napoleon has done more than me, but I am definitely taller than him." 200 1 When running for prime minister, Berlusconi once said: "The reason why my head has less hair is because my brain is full of wisdom, and I can't allow my hair to grow."

Therefore, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had to start celebrating NATO's "birthday" in his absence. Italian newspaper El Pais published a cartoon innuendo: "Berlusconi's talent for making a fool of himself is unparalleled."
According to western media, "political addicts and megalomaniacs" have "no ability to control their brains and tongues". "Smiling is a bit treacherous, despicable and evil." "Berlusconi is unfit to lead Europe" seems to be the real Berlusconi.
Brave and beautiful
As the saying goes, behind every successful man, there is a woman, but behind Berlusconi, there are "wives and concubines".
Berlusconi, an Italian superman who exudes femininity and flirts with women, has made great strides in pursuing a "sexual life" despite his "bumpy love life". Vanity Fair magazine in the United States specifically counted the women closely related to Berlusconi, with a total of 17.
The first place is naturally Veronica, Berlusconi's current wife? Lario Berlusconi and his first wife Carla met Veronica before their divorce, when Veronica was a nude model. In 2007, Bei was forced to apologize to his wife in the newspaper for openly flirting with Cafagna, the beauty minister. The news of their divorce keeps appearing in the headlines of many western newspapers.
According to the Italian Evening Post, Veronica also asked Berlusconi to pay 43 million euros a year after divorce, which is equivalent to more than 3.5 million euros a month in alimony. After rejecting Veronica's monthly alimony of 3.5 million euros, Berlusconi also said that the figure he was willing to pay was only 200,000 euros per month, and the maximum would not exceed 300,000 euros.
In the early 1980s, Veronica, a beautiful young woman, was already active on the stage in Rome and became a hot female star. Berlusconi, who was married at that time, fell in love with her when he accidentally watched a performance, and began the road of "idolization" from then on.
Veronica once revealed in her autobiography "Tendency" that Berlusconi touched his heart with a blanket. Once, Veronica inadvertently complained to Berlusconi that the apartment she lived in was bitterly cold in winter nights, making people unable to sleep. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Veronica never dreamed that the next day she received a gift from Berlusconi-a beautiful pure wool blanket.

" After an underground affair with Veronica lasted 10 years, Berlusconi officially divorced his first wife on 1990 and married Veronica, who was 20 years younger than himself.
When there was an emotional crisis with Veronica, the 66-year-old Berlusconi even "returned to his old job" and personally created a love song album. In the CD album, there is a song called "I love you in my heart". At the end of the song, he expressed his determination never to give up love-"Even if you bring me endless pain, even if I have to fight, I will never let you go, because I will love you forever."

Su Ze, who was photographed sitting on Berlusconi's lap with four women, became famous in 2007. According to western media reports, at that time, they all attended a "naked party" in Berlusconi's "harem"-a luxury villa in Sardinia.

Berlusconi, who is 73 years old and has five children (two of whom were born by his ex-wife), also has many innovative ideas in his life.
Berlusconi believes that politicians have the responsibility to "look more handsome and energetic" on the TV screen. In order to make himself more handsome, in recent years, Berlusconi has lost weight and planted hair, and almost "decorated" himself from top to bottom, which is known as the "pioneer of plastic surgery". He said that changing the image is to better "represent Italy on the international stage."
