"Ensuring Equality for All: Pavel Durov's Audacious Inheritance Plan"
Approximately 100 young individuals set to receive fortunes amassed by the head of Telegram.
In a surprising move, billionaire Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has outlined his strategy to distribute his estimated $14 billion fortune among the 100+ children he's fathered. Officially, Durov has six kids from three partners, with the rest being a result of sperm donations over the past 15 years across 12 countries. He insists on treating all his offspring as equal heirs.
Regarding his staggering fortune, Durov, aged 40, resides primarily in Dubai and France, where he also holds citizenship. Last year, he was arrested in France in an investigation linked to suspected criminal activities, such as child pornography, on Telegram. However, French authorities have since eased restrictions on him, allowing him to travel despite the ongoing probe.
Durov emphasized that he sees no distinction between his children, whether they were conceived naturally or through sperm donations. He aims to prevent squabbles over the inheritance following his demise. To achieve this, he has stipulated that his descendants will not receive their inheritance share until they reach 30 years old. The purpose of this delay is to encourage them to navigate life independently, forge their own paths, and cultivate self-reliance, rather than relying on his bank account from the get-go.
This groundbreaking plan, recently formalized in a will, is to provide equal opportunities for all his children while curbing potential disputes. Given the risks inherent in his work, Durov acknowledges the powerful adversaries it has attracted. Known for his defense of free speech and information, particularly in his home country, Russia, Telegram has also served as a platform for criminal communication.
Dismissing the allegations of his aiding and abetting money laundering or child pornography distribution through Telegram as "absurd," Durov underscores his commitment to maintaining the platform as a beacon of freedom and fairness in the face of adversity.
