Princess Di Posted May 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2005 One of the 15 Faberge eggs bought from the estate of U.S. billionaire Malcolm Forbes in 2005 by Russian magnate Viktor Vekselberg is a fake, St. Petersburg jewelry expert Valentin Skurlov says. Vekselberg scooped up the treasures in a surprise last-minute intervention before they were due to be sold by auctioneer Sotheby's. The cost of the deal was not revealed, but media reports say Vekselberg paid more than $100 million for the 180 items in the collection, including the eggs.
