Fri, 20 Jun 2025 Telegram boss says he has fathered more than 100 children

The tech tycoon says all of his offspring will share his estimated $13.9bn fortune.
Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, claims he has fathered over 100 children through sperm donations. He estimates his net worth at $13.9 billion and plans for all his children to share equally in his fortune after his death. However, they will not have access to their inheritance until they are 30 years old, allowing them to "live like normal people" and build themselves up independently. Durov also addressed ongoing criminal charges in France, calling them "totally absurd", and stated that the fact criminals use Telegram does not make him a criminal.
