7. Marina Berlusconi
Chairman
Fininvest
Country: Italy
2006 rank:  7

Berlusconi, 41, has no desire to meddle in politics and keeps a low profile, unlike her dad, the former Prime Minister. She presides quietly over the family's $12 billion media and holding company, Fininvest. This year she added a stake in Mediobanca, the country's most powerful investment bank, to a portfolio that includes Italy's largest commercial broadcaster and publisher and the popular AC Milan football team.
