This included eight Scudetti, four Supercoppa, five European Cups/Champions Leagues, five European Super Cups, two Intercontinental Cups, one Club World Cup and one Coppa Italia
After selling Milan, Berlusconi purchased Monza in 2018 and helped them earn promotion from Serie C all the way up to Serie A, where they remain to this day having had a successful 2022/23 season.
Berlusconi was also a media tycoon and politician who first came to office as Prime Minister in 1994, holding the position in four different spells up until the last time in 2011.
