- ~ 2 Min Read
Billionaire father and Telegram creator aims to share his vast fortune among his 14 offspring - Wealthy Telegram chief intends to distribute enormous inheritance to his 106 offspring.
Pavel Durov, the mastermind behind Telegram, isn't your average tech billionaire. Why? He's got over a century of future heirs waiting to cash in on his estimated $13.9 billion fortune. That's right; this dude ain't just the father of six, but more like the poppa bear of a global tribe, with kids in twelve countries!
Now, don't get your hopes up - he ain't handin' out the dough just yet. The Telegram tycoon revealed his plans to leak his loot without a dime going until a ripe 30 years have passed. "Nope, my kids ain't livin' high off my hog just yet. They gotta do the hustle like the rest of us. Build themselves up, learn to swim on their own," he told the French mag, Le Point.
So, who are these heirs of his empire? Well, officially, he's a family man with six kiddos from three relationships. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Durov revealed that he's been seeding sperm for the last 15 years, spawning more than a hundred small Durovs around the globe[1][2][5].
This man don't play favorites, either. "Ain't no difference between those conceived the traditional way and those from my little Seed Club. All my kids are golden in my eyes," said the tech mogul.
When the time comes, each kid can expect a share of around $132 mil, according to current estimates[1][3]. But, remember, there's a catch - they gotta bide their time for thirty years. "It's survival of the fittest, baby. I want my heirs to learn the hard way," Durov quipped[1][5].
And fret not, Telegram fans, Durov ain't planning on stepping down any time soon. "If I vanish, a non-profit foundation's gonna take the reins," Durov cleared up, aiming to keep the messaging service alive and kickin'[1][5].
