For much of Silvio Berlusconi's tenure as owner of AC Milan, the club was known for splashy expenditures. Berlusconi broke the world transfer record three times in the 1980s and has made other high-profile buys that cemented his reputation as a big spender.
That all changed in 2010. After crosstown rivals Inter won the treble, Berlusconi was planning to retaliate with a huge summer transfer window. His plans were undercut, however, by his eldest daughter Marina, chairperson of family holding company Fininvest.
As reported then by Goal.com's Salvatore Landolina, Marina slashed her father's plans in half.
