Caption: Pavel Durov to Leave $13.9bn Fortune to Over 100 Children. The founder of the messaging app Telegram, has announced that his estimated $13.9 billion fortune will be shared among more than 100 children he has fathered. Durov, who is the official father of six children with three partners, also donated sperm to a fertility clinic, resulting in over 100 additional children. Speaking to Le Point, Durov stressed that all his children would have equal rights to his wealth, but they won’t inherit it for a further 30 years. He wants them to live independently, build their own lives, and trust in themselves. Durov explained making his decision now, citing the risks tied to his work defending freedoms, which have made him numerous enemies. The 40-year-old tech mogul also addressed criminal charges he faces in France denying any wrongdoing related to the moderation of Telegram for illegal content.
