Billionaire and Telegram CEO Pavel Durov revealed on Thursday that he plans to make "no difference" between his over 100 children when it comes to who will inherit his $14 billion fortune. Many of these children came from anonymous sperm donations.
The messaging app founder spoke to the French magazine Le Point about several topics, including his arrest in 2024. During the interview, Durov remarked that family was deeply important to him and that, despite being only 40 years old, he had already begun drafting his will.
"I decided that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of 30 years has elapsed, starting from today," Durov said. "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."
