The founder and CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, has revealed plans to read his estimated fortune of $ 17 billion to his 106 biological children, but not until 2055.
In an interview with French Le Point published Thursday, the 40 -year -old technological billionaire said that he deliberately established the inheritance schedule from now on to ensure that their children develop self -sufficiency before accessing their wealth.
“I wrote my will recently. I decided that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of thirty years has elapsed, as of today,” said Durov.
“I want them to live as normal people, to accumulate alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to depend on a bank account.”
Telegram CEO explained that its heirs include six children naturally conceived with three different women, while the remaining were born through anonymous sperm donations in a dozen countries in the last 15 years.
“Six of which I am the official father, whom I had with three different partners. The others come from my anonymous donation. The clinic, where I began to donate sperm fifteen years ago to help a friend, told me that more than 100 babies had been conceived in this way in 12 countries,” he said.
Despite its different origins, Durov emphasized that all their children would be treated equally under the terms of their will.
“I want to specify that I do not make any difference between my children: there are those who were naturally conceived and those that come from my sperm donations. They are all my children and everyone will have the same rights. I do not want them to be destroyed after my death.”
According to current Bloomberg and Forbes estimates, each child could inherit between $ 131 million and $ 161 million by 2055.
The dissemination of Dorav is produced in the midst of continuous legal problems in France. According to the reports, he was arrested in August 2024 at Bourget airport, near Paris, while arriving from Azerbaijan in a private jet.
