Billionaire Pavel Durov funds IVF and declares himself the biological father of more than 100 children.
Billionaire Pavel Durov takes the concept of legacy to a completely new level.
The founder of Telegram admitted that he is the biological father of more than 100 children as a result of donating his sperm.
Moreover, he offered to fully cover the costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for women under 37 who wish to use his genetic material.
With a net worth estimated at $17 billion, Durov sees this decision as a true civic duty.
His main goal is to combat the shortage of high‑quality donors and remove the stigma associated with this medical process.
These children could even claim a portion of his vast fortune if they can legally prove a genetic link.
Last year, dozens of women responded to an announcement posted at a reproductive medicine clinic where the billionaire promised to fully fund all procedures.
