Silvio Berlusconi, the billionaire media mogul who served as Italian prime minister multiple times between 1994 and 2011, has died.
Berlusconi died at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, according to local media.
Berlusconi's extensive political career included appointments as Italian prime minister from 1994 to 1995, 2001 to 2006 and 2008 to 2011.
His Forza Italia party is currently a junior partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's ruling right-wing coalition.
The former Italian leader had promised — but failed — to sell his assets in the media company when he was prime minister.
