Pavel Durov Leaves His '£17bn' Fortune To His '106 Children' by DoWhatThouWilt(op): 3:46pm On Jun 19, 2025
Billionaire Telegram founder leaves his '£17bn' fortune to his '106 children' conceived naturally and via sperm donation

The billionaire founder of messaging platform Telegram will leave his fortune of £17 billion to the more than 100 children he has fathered.

Tech tycoon Pavel Durov, 40, has six children with three different partners and is believed to have around 100 more after he donated sperm on a mass scale to dozens of couples in 12 different countries.

Durov revealed his plans to leave his fortune to all of his offspring in a recent interview with France's Le Point magazine, saying that he saw no difference between the children he conceived naturally and those who came from donations.

'They are all my children and will all have the same rights', Mr Durov said. 'I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.'

But none of them will get any cash for 30 years, he revealed.

'I want them to live like normal people, to build their lives on their own, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create—not to be dependent on a bank account'.

The billionaire first revealed that he had fathered several children via sperm donation last year after a Russian woman based in Switzerland claimed that he was the father to her three children.

Mr Durov, whose messaging platform has over one billion monthly active users around the world, has been dubbed the Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk of Russia.

His fortune is estimated at up to £17 billion.

Born in Russia, Durov spent many of his childhood years in Italy before returning to his homeland when his father, a scholar in ancient Roman literature, landed a new job at St Petersburg University.

Russian-born Durov is currently under judicial supervision in France after he was placed under investigation for alleged organised crime on Telegram.

At the age of 21, he set up platform VK, which was dubbed the ‘Facebook of Russia’ at the time.

When he refused to provide data on Ukrainian protestors to Russian security agencies he was effectively forced to give up his company and moved abroad in 2014.

Mr Durov said the absence of any secure form of communication in Russia gave him the idea for Telegram.

Intelligent Man.

If you dont have money you have no right to bring a child into this world. Just spare that child from unnecessary suffering.

Hmm


Interesting that is a good way to train a child.

Build up their mental strength and enable them to be able to develop survival skills.

You have to have children who are thoroughly disciplined and not just kids who have been over pampered.

I hope it all turns out well for them.

Anyway Jesus Christ is coming soon, you better repent before it is too late.

This is the type of man that deserves to have plenty offsprings. Not some random dude in Nigeria that can't afford to feed himself but he's having 4 wives and 26 children.

That is Africans for you, it seems like some African cultures promote poverty. Parents in Africa use kids as a means of achievement while throwing these kids to Child labour. Some are even promoting early marriage in order to produce kids and grand kids for their selfish satisfaction.

Fathering over 100 kids in 12 different countries is very reckless behaviour, what if those kids eventually meet and get married?

He did the world a great favor…….


This is how it is meant to be, billionaires and geniuses should birth as many children as they can, rather than poor people or people without sense giving birth to cause problem

Do you really think he’d be successful if people didn’t have children and use his app? Or do you assume that everyone who uses the app is wealthy? Please think before making careless statements. If people like you were in charge of the world, things would fall apart, because you clearly lack understanding of how life works.
