Pavel Durov, the enigmatic billionaire founder of Telegram, is once again making headlines—but this time, it has nothing to do with encrypted messaging, digital privacy, or his ongoing standoff with global governments.

In a recent interview with the French magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old tech mogul made a stunning personal revelation. He confirmed that he is not only the father of six children from three different partners, but he has also biologically fathered over 100 children through sperm donation. Yes, you heard that right—over one hundred.

Durov says he donates sperm at fertility clinics with the intention of helping families who are struggling to conceive. While he hasn’t revealed where these donations were made or whether any legal agreements exist, he’s openly stated that his aim is to "spread his DNA" and contribute to the future of humanity.

It’s a statement that seems to blur the lines between science fiction and billionaire eccentricity.

Now, let’s talk about what this means from a financial standpoint.

Pavel Durov is worth an estimated 13.9 billion US dollars. That’s about 10.3 billion British pounds. And according to him, that fortune is not going to a single heir or even a select few—it’s going to every single one of his biological children. All of them. Equally.

That includes the six he’s raising and the more than 100 he fathered through anonymous sperm donations. But there’s a twist. The inheritance will not be handed over immediately. Instead, Durov says his wealth will be locked away for the next 30 years.

He explains that he wants his children to grow up like normal people. No silver spoons, no private jets, and no special treatment. In his words, he wants them to develop independence, self-trust, and a sense of personal accomplishment—values that he believes were essential to his own rise.

This decision echoes the sentiments of other wealthy figures like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, who have publicly pledged not to leave vast fortunes to their children. But Durov’s approach is unique—not just because of the number of potential heirs, but because of the philosophical message behind it.

He sees it as a long-term investment in what he calls “biological equity.” In other words, giving future generations of his own bloodline the resources to thrive, but only after they’ve earned their own way in life.

Now, while this story sounds like something out of a movie, it’s unfolding against the backdrop of serious legal trouble.

Durov is currently facing charges in France for allegedly refusing to cooperate with law enforcement. Authorities claim he has not responded to requests to help investigate criminal activities on Telegram, including drug trafficking and child sexual exploitation.

Durov denies the accusations. He says the charges are completely absurd and insists that just because criminals use Telegram doesn’t mean the company or its leadership is complicit. He compares it to blaming Apple for illegal activities committed using iPhones.

The legal pressure is building, but Durov seems unfazed. His responses are cold, calculated, and confident—traits that have defined his entire career.

He’s no stranger to controversy. After all, this is the man who was forced to leave Russia after refusing to hand over user data to the Kremlin. He’s been living in self-imposed exile ever since, rarely giving interviews and maintaining a low public profile. Until now.



Will Durov’s legacy be remembered for revolutionizing private communication? For his battle with governments? For his radical views on family and inheritance?

Or will it be the start of a much broader conversation about the ethics of modern reproduction, the limits of wealth, and how technology magnates are reshaping not only the digital world—but the human gene pool?

Only time will tell.
