Billionaire Who Fathered More Than 100 Children Leaves His Fortune to His Kids — But There’s a Catch
Kid-crazy billionaire Pavel Durov is leaving his fortune to his 100-plus natural and sperm donation children, but there’s a catch — if he dies today, they’ll have to wait 30 years to collect.
The 40-year-old Russian-born mogul, creator of the Telegram app that keeps all messages, photos, videos and files sent by members totally private, is worth a whopping $14 billion and insists he’s fathered more than 100 children — six personally with three different gals and the rest through his donations to sperm clinics in a dozen countries.
He says he’s drafting a will specifying “that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of 30 years has elapsed, starting from today” — which was June 19.
“I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone … not to be dependent on a bank account.”
He emphasized that he makes “no difference between my children … those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations.
“They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don’t want them to tear each other apart after my death.”
