[insane]

Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's former prime minister, has been ordered to pay close to $50 million a year to his ex-wife as part of a divorce settlement, the BBC reported, citing the Corriere della Sera newspaper.

However, Berlusconi, who said recently he intends to again seek office in 2013, has been allowed to retain the $100 million home he once shared with former actress Veronica Lario and their three children, according to the report.

He is said to have offered Lario around $5 million a year, while she asked for $56 million a year.

Corriere della Sera said the divorce paperwork was filed on Christmas Day.
