Pavel Durov, founder of the billionaire and CEO of Telegram, revealed that he intended to refer his entire assets worth approximately $ 13.9 billion more than 100 children who were father, including those born through sperm gift.
In a sincere interview with the French magazine Le Point, a forty -year -old technical tycoon said that he was a legal parent of six children out of three different women. Over the past 15 years, however, Durov has also been a sperm donor and estimates that more than 100 children were created.
“I do not make any distinction between my children, whether they were conceived naturally or through gifts, they are all mine and will be treated the same,” Durov told the magazine.
Despite the huge assets, a Russian entrepreneur said his heirs would not immediately gain access to wealth. “I recently developed my will. I decided that my children would not be allowed to inherit anything up to thirty years of today,” he explained.
Durov is known for its unorthodox lifestyle and an open person. It regularly shares updates with its 11.1 million telegram followers and often shows its strict fitness regime, which allegedly includes 300 clicks and 300 squats a day and its strict avoidance of alcohol, coffee and tea. In a recent Easter post, bare chest appeared, evoking subtitles and chatting social media.
Under his leadership, the telegram has grown to one of the most used platforms for sending messages in the world and now boasts over one billion active users. However, the application and its founder were not without controversy. Last year, the French authorities accused Durov and claimed to participate in the crimes committed through the Telegram platform. Durov firmly denied the accusation.
Durov was born in Russia and now operating in the Middle East and has long been placed as a champion of digital privacy and individual freedom. His latest revelations add another eccentric chapter to life that has already marked radical independence and disturbance.
