In a move that’s turning heads across both Silicon Valley and estate law circles, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has revealed that more than 100 children will one day become multi-millionaires—many without knowing it. The Russian-born tech mogul, currently worth an estimated $13.9 billion, recently confirmed that his will includes all of his children—both those he has raised and others born via long-term sperm donation.

Durov, 40, has six children through personal relationships. But over the past 15 years, he’s also been a regular sperm donor. According to one fertility clinic, he’s biologically fathered more than 100 additional children in at least 12 countries. As outlined in his estate plan, each child is set to receive an equal portion of his wealth—potentially as much as $132 million per heir.

“I make no difference between my children,” Durov explained in a recent interview with Le Point, a French publication. “Those conceived naturally and those through donation are all my children and will have the same rights.”

But there’s a twist: Durov has added a 30-year delay clause. His children won’t gain access to their inheritances until three decades have passed.

“I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up, to trust themselves,” he said. “Not to depend on a bank account.”

The stipulation reflects a growing trend among ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs who are seeking to pass on not just assets, but values—encouraging independence and self-reliance before wealth transfer.

It also raises legal and ethical questions around sperm donation anonymity. According to fertility company Give Legacy, whether these children even know they’re linked to Durov depends on whether he was listed as a known or anonymous donor. In most cases, strict privacy laws shield both donors and recipient families unless a directed donation was made.

While other billionaires like Bill Gates and Laurene Powell Jobs have famously limited what their heirs will receive, Durov’s decision stands out not just for its generosity—but for its scope. Few legacies reach this far or include such a diverse, global group of future beneficiaries.

For now, those children—members of the rising Gen Alpha cohort—remain unaware of what’s waiting for them decades down the line. But when that time comes, the Telegram founder’s quiet generosity may ripple across continents.
