Can the verb "gain" take two complements?

Is it correct to say

The prudent guidance and innovation gained jane and john much fame

I think that this sentence is grammatically incorrect because the verb gain cannot take two complements, like ditransitive verbs.

Despite my misgivings, this sentence was not pointed out to be erroneous. Isn't this sentence incorrect?
