On December 23, according to the U.S. "Wall Street Journal," Pavel Durov, the founder of Russian Telegram (a messaging app), said that women who are willing to have his sperm to give birth, he will pay for in vitro fertilization costs, and the child can inherit the estate.
The newspaper cited an institution promoting Durov's biological materials, stating that participants must meet specific conditions: unmarried and under the age of 37.
According to multiple sources, Durov has confirmed a total of 106 children:
Among them, 6 children were born through natural childbirth by three partners;
About 100 children were conceived through anonymous sperm donation over the past 15 years, distributed across 12 countries around the world, including Switzerland and Russia.
Arrangement and Controversy of Inheritance
Estate Distribution: Durov has made a will to evenly distribute all his wealth (approximately 13.9-17 billion dollars) among the 106 children, with each expected to receive 130-170 million dollars;
Legal Concerns: A Swiss partner once accused Durov of refusing to pay child support, which contradicts his declared stance of "equal treatment of children."
Although more than 100 children are spread across 12 countries, there is still a risk of incestuous marriage.
