Viktor Feliksovich Vekselberg (Russian: Виктор Феликсович Вексельберг; born April 14, 1957) is a chairman of Tyumen Oil (TNK), Russia's third-largest oil and gas company. He took a controlling interest in the company in 1997 and has subsequently developed a joint venture with BP. He is also a chairman of SUAL Holding, which controls Russia's second-largest aluminum business and is ranked ninth in the world. In February 2004, he purchased nine of the Fabergé eggs from the Forbes publishing family in New York City. In September 2006, he agreed to pay the approximately $1 million in expenses to transport the Lowell House Bells from Harvard University back to their original location in the Danilov Monastery and to purchase replacement bells. The bells will be repatriated as early as the summer of 2007[1]. He is of Jewish origin by his father side and presently one of the Russian oligarchs. Recently it has been rumored that Russian President Vladimir Putin may appoint Vekselberg as Governor of Kamchatka Oblast, a practice already done with Oligarch Roman Abramovich (in this case to Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). He is married to Marina and has two children, a daughter and a son, Sasha. April 14 is the 104th day of the year (105 in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 261 days remaining. ...
