 They set up an initial investment joint venture, a complex Cayman Islands structure to be funded by Renova and managed by Gilbertson.Things went awry in 2006, as the joint venture negotiated to buy the Fabergé name from Unilever.Vekselberg (a connoisseur of Fabergé Imperial eggs who owns nine of the jewel-encrusted creations, having acquired the Forbes family collection in 2004 for a reported US$100 million) insisted that one of his personal companies (as opposed to the joint venture) get title to the brand, although the benefits of reviving the brand would stay within the joint venture fund.
