Family

His father was son to Faber-Castell AG sole owner, Roland Count of Faber-Castell  [ de ] and Alix-May of Frankenberg and Ludwigsdorf, who belonged to the owning family of Europe's largest private bank, Sal.Oppenheim Jr & Cie. The company stakes, as well as his involvement in China, made Hubertus Count von Faber-Castell, a billionaire. [9] Faber-Castell has two sisters. The older sister is German-Swiss Caroline Gotzens.

Concern

In 2015, Patrick was involved in a scandal related with the 2006 FIFA World Cup organization.

[12] In 2011, Infront was sold to private equity firm Bridgepoint by the consortium of shareholders for approximately 600 million euros. [13] [14]
