The French fashionista was strangled until she blacked out and her Rolex watch, ring and money were taken.
The verdict on Matthew Mykoo, 27, was handed down at Wood Green Crown Court in north London. He had admitted two robberies.
His brother Daniel, 28, had earlier admitted robbing Farhi as well as 18 other counts of robbery and two motor vehicle offences.
The pair will be sentenced at a fresh hearing on July 23 and 24 but judge Nicholas Browne warned Matthew Mykoo Wednesday that a life sentence was likely.
"I warn you in very clear terms that an indeterminate sentence for public protection is virtually inevitable, bearing in mind the numbers and the fact that these robberies were of the most serious type I have ever encountered," Browne told him.
London's Metropolitan Police said the brothers had targeted mainly lone women in affluent areas of London.
"The level of violence used in these attacks is extremely unusual," said Detective Constable Reg Pickering, one of the investigating officers.
