The billionaire\u2019s more than 100 children will not have access to his fortune until at least 2055, the Telegram founder has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov has announced plans to leave his fortune to the more than 100 children he has fathered. However, they won\u2019t have access to their inheritance until 30 years from now, the Russian-born entrepreneur told French newspaper Le Point on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Durov, who holds Russian, French, UAE, and St. Kitts and Nevis passports, said he is the official father of six children with three different partners \u2013 though he added that he has fathered over 100 children in 12 countries through sperm donation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently wrote my will… I decided that my children will not have access to my fortune until thirty years have passed, starting today,\u201d<\/em> the 40-year-old told the outlet. He said he wants his children \u201cto live like normal people, to build themselves up on their own, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create \u2013 not to be dependent on a bank account.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

His fortune currently stands at $17.1 billion, according to Forbes, which puts him at number 133 among the world\u2019s richest people. Last year, Telegram \u2013 which has over a billion active users \u2013 posted a record $540 million in profit, marking a sharp turnaround from a $173 million loss the previous year.<\/p>\n

Durov added that he makes no distinction between his children, saying those who were conceived naturally and those who came from his sperm donations \u201cwill all have the same rights.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He noted that his work involves risks, and that \u201cdefending freedoms earns you many enemies, including within powerful states.\u201d<\/em> He added that he wants to protect his children and the company he created.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want Telegram to always remain true to the values I stand for,\u201d<\/em> Durov said.<\/p>\n

He stated that a nonprofit foundation would take over Telegram\u2019s management in the event of his \u201cdisappearance,\u201d<\/em> adding that the main goal is to ensure the platform remains independent while respecting privacy and freedom of speech.<\/p>\n

Durov stressed that he remains Telegram\u2019s sole shareholder, owning 100% of the company, \u201cthe only way to guarantee Telegram\u2019s complete independence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year, Durov was arrested in France and placed under judicial supervision over alleged complicity in crimes linked to Telegram users. The entrepreneur, whose company is based in Dubai, was released on \u20ac5 million ($5.46 million) bail and was temporarily allowed to leave France in mid-March with judicial approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
