Telegram founder and billionaire tech mogul Pavel Durov has revealed that he’s the biological father of more than 100 children.
In a recent post on his own platform, Durov shocked fans by announcing that he had donated sperm years ago, and that over 100 babies have now been born from those donations across 12 different countries. According to him, the decision wasn’t just personal — it was a “civic duty.” He believes sperm donation should be normalized, especially for people who are healthy and smart, saying it’s a way to give back to society.
While many are still wrapping their heads around that, Durov also has a more traditional family life. He is the confirmed father of five children with two different women — including his ex-wife Daria Bondarenko and his more recent partner, Irina Bolgar. A few reports claim he might even have six kids with three partners, but that’s still up in the air.
Known for being extremely private and rarely granting interviews, Durov’s bombshell revelation has sparked massive reactions online. Some people are praising him for being honest and using his resources to help others start families, while others are calling the move “bizarre.”
Love it or not, one thing is clear: the 39-year-old Telegram boss is rewriting the rulebook on modern fatherhood — one child at a time.
So if you thought tech billionaires only changed the world through apps and algorithms, think again. Durov may have just changed over 100 lives — literally.
