Telegram founder's fortune may be inherited by +100 kids
Tech billionaire Pavel Durov has gone viral with quotes this week, revealing that his fortune, standing currently near $14 billion, will be split across his 100-plus progeny.
Durov, founder of the Telegram messaging app, in an interview with a French magazine, detailed that he is the legal parent of six children, but after more than fifteen years donating to sperm banks, he has had more than 100 children.
Each is written into the 40-year-old's will, and he says all "will be treated equally", which would mean, at the current headcount and Durov's current net worth, they would each inherit around $140 million.
Durov also told the magazine, Le Point, however, that none of his heirs would access their inheritance until thirty years after his passing due to the stipulations written into the will.
The man behind encrypted messaging app Telegram is an advocate for individual freedoms, and is often portrayed as enigmatic and unorthodox, something that's somewhat reinforced by this latest round of headlines.
