Popular Telegram owner Pavel Durov has said that he’ll leave his fortune of £17 billion to the more than 106 kids he has fathered. 40-year-old Pavel has six kids with three different women, and is believed to have 100 more children after donating sperm to several couples across different nations.
Speaking during an interview with France’s Le Point magazine, Pavel announced his plan to leave his fortune to all of his children.
According to him, he doesn’t see any difference between the children he conceived naturally and those who came from donations.
Durov, however, added that none of them will get a share of his fortune for 30 years after his death, stressing that he wants them to trust themselves enough to live their own lives.
“They are all my children and will all have the same right. I don’t want them to tear each other apart after my death.
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,” he said.

Recall that the billionaire came out to reveal that he has fathered various children through a sperm donation, after a Russian woman based in Switzerland claimed that he is the father of her three kids.
Posting photos of herself and her kids, Irina Bolgar, 44, confirmed that Pavel fathered her daughter and two sons, born in St Petersburg in 2013, 2016, and 2017, and they all carry his name.
Pavel Durov, whose messaging platform has over one billion monthly active users across the globe, is worth £17 billion.
