Berlusconi’s children told Italian news outlet ANSA that Villa San Martino, his notorious “bunga bunga” orgy pad is staying in the family. Daughter Marina Berlusconi made the announcement: “Villa San Martino must stay alive. We want it to remain the venue for business meetings, as well as, of course, the meeting point for our family…It is what [my father] would have wished.” However, the Berlusconi kids will have to reach an arrangement with Berlusconi’s pseudo-wife Marta Fascina, who is currently still residing there (and who recently inherited more than $100 million in Berlusconi’s will). Some of the highlights of Berlusconi’s real estate empire include Villa Certosa, located in Sardinia. A massive 26,000-square-foot palace on 170 acres, Villa Certosa once hosted heads of state like Tony Blair and Vladmir Putin. It’s equipped with a secret entrance tunnel, five swimming pools, and a 300-seat amphitheater in the Ancient Greek style. There’s a man-made lagoon, a football pitch, golf course, tennis courts, and helipad. You can see it for yourself in the drone video below, courtesy of the URBEX ADDICTED YouTube channel:
All on its own, Villa Certosa is expected to be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $275 million US, but the Berlusconi real estate spread includes hundreds of smaller properties, and dozens of other opulent villas, palazzos, and penthouses. Then there’s Villa Grande in Rome, a sprawling estate where Berlusconi’s faux wedding ceremony to Fascina was held. Berlusconi’s children are reportedly selling all the properties in order to avoid any disputes over inheritance, and the between $700 and $900 million the properties are expected to get will be much easier to divide among themselves.
