Silvio Berlusconi used to say he loved Sabina Guzzanti's TV impersonations of him. He may have changed his mind after her last couple of outings on the political satire show L'Ottavo Nano (The Eighth Dwarf).

Forbes spent $26 million from his own piggy bank on these beliefs in 1999, and roughly $37 million in 1996.
