A rare decorative Faberg\u00e9 egg, encrusted with jewels and reportedly worth millions of dollars, has been discovered on the luxury yacht of a ‘troubled’ Russian oligarch, and has been seized by US law enforcement agents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
US Attorney General Lisa Monaco said the items were seized after the yacht was seized in Fiji and then flown to San Diego, where officials were surprised by the jewel-filled items.<\/p>\n
While giving a conference in Aspen yesterday, the American official said: “Let’s now move on to things of more interest. We discovered a lot of interesting things … like this Faberg\u00e9 egg.”<\/p>\n
Ms Monaco did not specify which yacht it was found on, nor their owners – but it is believed she was referring to the \u20ac300 million Amadea seized in the Fiji Islands.<\/p>\n
The jewel-encrusted egg is believed to be authentic and is one of only a few left in the world.<\/p>\n
The prices of Faberg\u00e9 eggs have reached up to 20 million dollars.<\/p>\n
Make<\/strong> Faberge was founded by the German goldsmith, Gustav Faberge in Saint Petersburg, Russia in the 19th century.<\/p>\n They have created about 50 such eggs, mostly for the Russian imperial family.<\/p>\n The development comes as the Russian tycoon’s superyacht is set to be auctioned off with an opening bid of $70 million, according to reports.<\/p>\n The 80-metre-long craft – named Axioma – is believed to be owned by Russian tycoon Dmitry Pumpyansky, and was seized in mid-March by Western sanctions against Putin’s allies from the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
