Billionaire Founder Pavel Durov Equatively Dividing Massive Fortune Among 100+ Kids
Wealth Distribution Announcement: Telegram Creator Allots His Fortune Among 106 Offspring - Wealthy Telegram leader plans on bestowing billions to his massive 106 offspring.
Take a guess how many kids a tech billionaire would want to bet on. For Pavel Durov, founder of the popular messaging app Telegram, it's over 100 across 12 countries!
In a heart-to-heart chat with "Le Point," this 40-year-old Russian tycoon revealed his plans to share every penny of his astronomic fortune—estimated around $14 billion (Bloomberg Billionaires Index) to $17.1 billion (Forbes)—equitably with his immense brood. Admittedly, he's officially dad to six kids from three relationships, but he also counts many more whose happy beginning was his sperm donations over the past 15 years.
Regardless of biological ties or those from donations, Durov sees these children of his as one and the same. All are his children and, as such, are entitled to the same portion under his simple inheritance scheme.
No Early Birds, Cash Coming 30 Years Later
But Durov also warned his kids to have patience. They'll be waiting for their big payday 30 years after his recently written will. He's got their backings covered so they can live life like the rest of us, learn, trust their abilities, and forge their own paths sans financial crutches.
Contrary to rumors, Durov has no intention of allowing one of his offspring to take over Telegram. Instead, a non-profit foundation will manage the service in his absence.

Telegram Founder's Estate:Pavel Durov wants to grant all his children equal rights and inheritance, treating his biological kids and those from sperm donations as equals. He plans on waiting 30 years before distributing his $14 billion fortune, ensuring that his children live their lives as regular folks and learn independence. Each child could potentially stand to inherit around $132 million, inspiring unity and fairness among the brood.
I'm not going to be able to do this immediately, but I'm planning to divide my fortune across finance and wealth-management sectors to secure a comfortable lifestyle for each of my children. This includes those who are biologically mine as well as those from my sperm donations, and I want to treat them all equally in terms of personal-finance matters.
