Silvio Berlusconi is the first media mogul ever to govern a Western democracy. With a net worth estimated at 13 billions euro, Italy's prime minister controls 90% of Italian national television -directly or indirectly, the copyright on a quarter of all Italian books, and two national newspapers (one owned by his brother, the other by his wife). He controls the main distribution networks for most of Italy's magazines and movies, and roughly 60% of all television advertising sales. In Italy, where most people get their information from television, control of the airwaves is a political gold mine. No small wonder that Berlusconi holds Italy's top political job.
