Durov wants to pass on his inheritance to his 100+ children, but with a 30-year wait

The founder of Telegram and one of the world’s most recognized entrepreneurs, Pavel Durov, has once again captured the attention of the internet community with his personal life and future financial plans. In a recent interview with France’s Le Point magazine, Durov made a surprising statement: he intends to divide his multi-billion dollar fortune among more than 100 of his children, but they will have to wait at least 30 more years to access the inheritance.

“I don’t want them fighting over money”
Currently, Pavel Durov is the sole owner of the Telegram platform, which has earned him an estimated fortune of $15–17 billion. According to him, he does not want to “spoil” his children with financial ease but wants them to grow into strong individuals through real-life experiences.

“I want them to believe in themselves, learn to create, and understand that success is possible without wealth. That’s why they won’t inherit anything from me for 30 years,” the entrepreneur explained.

Not one, but over a hundred heirs?
One of the most interesting aspects is the number of Durov’s children. He claimed to have donated sperm in 12 different countries, resulting in the birth of more than 100 children. Additionally, he is the legal father of six children born to three women.

“All of these children will have equal rights. I want them to live harmoniously, without conflict or rivalry,” Durov added.

Telegram and the Durov phenomenon
It’s well known that Telegram currently has billions of users around the world. It stands not only as a messaging app but also as a symbol of data security, uncensored communication, and free speech.

Pavel Durov is recognized as a pioneer in both the tech world and global information exchange. His unique approach to business and life has inspired millions.

Conclusion: A billionaire who believes in moral upbringing
Some interpret Durov’s decision as a new model of parenting. He wants his children to succeed through work and experience, not money. Behind his willingness to share his wealth with over 100 children lies not only generosity but a radically new outlook on wealth, family, and moral values. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
