Joska Bourgeois

Bourgeois spent her summers in Cannes, on the Cote d'Azur in the south of France, where she owned a 400sq m penthouse apartment on the Avenue Hesperides.

[7][6] In 1993 Bourgeois bought Marshcourt, a Grade I listed Arts and Crafts style country house near Stockbridge, Hampshire, designed by Edwin Lutyens.

[8] Bourgeois provided the collateral to help Robinson gain a £100,000 loan from Credit Suisse that he required to start the electronics company TransTec in 1981.

[10] Bourgeois's jewellery collection, which she had estimated was worth $10 million, was donated to the Pasteur Institute after her death, and eventually sold at auction at Christie's in 1995 for $700,000.

[12] In November 1997 it was revealed by Chris Blackhurst in an article for the Independent on Sunday that Robinson had been a discretionary beneficiary of a £12.75 million offshore trust for him and his family established by Bourgeois, called Orion, based in the tax haven of Guernsey.
