Pavel Durov, the enigmatic billionaire behind the global messaging platform Telegram, has revealed plans to distribute his estimated $14 billion fortune equally among a remarkable family — 106 children across 12 countries. This unprecedented decision, disclosed in a recent interview with French magazine Le Point, offers a rare glimpse into the private life and philosophy of one of the tech world’s most influential and secretive figures.
Durov, 40, is officially the father of six children with three different partners. However, his family extends far beyond traditional boundaries. Over the past 15 years, Durov has anonymously donated sperm, initially to help a friend, resulting in over 100 children born in clinics across a dozen countries. “I make no difference between my children: there are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations. They are all my children and will all have the same rights!” Durov stated, emphasizing his commitment to equality and unity within his extended family.
