Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Plans to Leave $17 Billion Fortune to Over 100 Children
Pavel Durov, the billionaire co-founder of Telegram, has announced his intention to divide his substantial fortune, estimated at $17 billion, among his 106 children, whom he has fathered both biologically and through sperm donation. Despite the enormous wealth, Durov has stated that his children will not see any of the inheritance for the next 30 years, with plans in place to ensure equitable distribution when they come of age. Durov emphasizes that he does not distinguish between his biological and sperm-donated children, expressing a mindset of abundance towards his family. This unprecedented decision has sparked various reactions online as people grapple with the implications of such a large estate being divided among so many heirs.
