Berth Milton Jr.
Berth Milton Jr. (born 1955) is a Swedish businessman. He is the majority owner of Private Media Group, one of the leading producers and distributors of pornography, founded by his father, Berth Milton Sr. Milton is estimated to own a majority of the company's stock.[1]
Like his father, Milton proved to be an accomplished businessman and made a small fortune on various investments ranging in everything from a gym and tanning salon in Stockholm to various imports of everything from pantyhose to wristwatches as well as real estate deals in Spain. Milton himself has described his upbringing by his father as harsh and loveless, and though he vowed never to get into the porn business, he eventually took over Private Media Group in 1991.[2]
Since his takeover, Milton has expanded the company into videos and DVDs, and established websites. He has also overseen licensing the company's name for commercial products, including condoms.[2]
The lives and careers of Milton Sr. and Jr. have been the topic of the biography Private med Milton och Milton ("Private with Milton and Milton") by the Swedish journalist Thomas Sjöberg.
He lives in Barcelona and has three children.
An intimate documentary about the life and business of Berth Milton and Private was produced by Airborne TV and Channel Five – "The Reluctant Porn King".[3]
