Pavel Durov has 106 children — and he intends on leaving his massive fortune to all of them.
The 40-year-old founder and CEO of Telegram — who has an estimated $17.1 billion fortune, according to Forbes — admitted that all 106 of his kids are set to inherit an equal chunk of his wealth in an interview with Le Point published on Thursday, June 19.
“I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,” Durov told the French outlet, before he explained, “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.”
The Russian native is the “official father” of six children whom he shares with three different partners. The other 100 biological children from 12 different countries are a result of Durov’s multiple sperm bank donations over the past 15 years. He has previously stated that he plans to "open-source [his] DNA so that [his] biological children can find each other more easily."

According to Durov’s interview, his children will not have access to their piece of the pie until “30 years” after the day following his conversation with Le Point. “I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account,” the proud father-of-106 told the publication.
Durov most recently made headlines after he was arrested in France in August 2024. He was charged with enabling a number of crimes to take place on his messaging platform. The tech billionaire was set free four days after his arrest. He paid a deposit of €5 million (around $5.7 million) and was instructed not to leave the country. According to The New York Times, if convicted, the CEO faces up to 10 years in prison.
