Pavel Durov, the Billionaire Founder of Telegram, Drops a Fortune Bomb on His Tribe of 100+ Offspring
Wealthy Entrepreneur, Telegram-Chef, To Equitably Share Inheritance Among Over 100 Heirs - Multi-billionaire Telegram founder expresses intentions of distributing substantial inheritance wealth amongst his vast brood of 106 offspring.
Got financial problems? Luckily, if you're one of the more than 100 offspring of Pavel Durov, the CEO of the wildly popular messaging service Telegram, you've got a stacked wallet to look forward to, albeit with a bit of a wait.
In a chat with the French mag, "Le Point," Durov spilled the beans on his gargantuan plans to spoonfeed his gang of heirs with a collective fortune estimated to be between $13.9 billion (Bloomberg Billionaires Index) and $17.1 billion (Forbes).
Pavel Durov: A Mega-Father with Multiple Roles and Locales
Legally, the seemingly ageless Russian is father to six children from three relationships. However, the tech titan has admitted to making more than 100 contributions to baby-making efforts across 12 countries in the last 15 years.
Durov confirms that he treats all his kids with equal love and respect. "I got 'em naturally and through my donations. They're all my little rugrats, each with the same rights," he told "Le Point."

While Durov's easy-money opportunities come with a catch, the multi-millionaire investor clarified that his progeny's purple rain will only arrive 30 years after he penned his will. "I want 'em to be self-reliant, learn to make their own magic, and not be yoked to the bank," he said.
Durov is adamant that none of his kiddies will inherit the Telegram throne. Instead, the platform will be handed over to a non-profit foundation upon Durov's demise, ensuring the digital messaging titan's long-lasting legacy[1][2][5].

Despite the lengthy wait of 30 years for the inheritance, Pavel clarified that he wants his progeny to learn self-reliance and not be reliant on finance from the bank.
