Alexander Ivanov (art collector)

Alexander Ivanov (Russian: Александр Иванов, born October 27, 1962) is a Russian art collector who lives in Moscow. He is best known for the Fabergé Museum in Baden-Baden, which is the first private Russian-owned museum outside of Russia. In the 2010s, he claimed that a Middle Eastern collector offered him $2 billion for his Fabergé collection, the world's largest collection in his own words. Other collecting interests include dinosaur fossils, ancient Greek and Roman art, pre-Columbian gold, Old Master paintings, Impressionist paintings, Orthodox icons, and vintage automobiles.

His most significant purchase was the 1902 Fabergé egg made as an engagement gift to Baron Édouard de Rothschild fiancée. The collector bought it at Christie's in London on 28 November 2007 for £8 million (£8,980,500 including buyer's premium), almost $16.5 million at the time, saying it was Fabergé’s "finest ever." The item broke three world records, a record auction price for any Russian object and both the world's most expensive timepiece and Fabergé object ever sold.
