Telegram Founder Durov to Leave $13.9B Fortune to Over 100 Children

Pavel Durov, founder of the messaging app Telegram, plans to bequeath his estimated $13.9 billion fortune to over 100 children—six biological children and numerous others conceived via sperm donation. Durov stated all children will inherit equally, but with a 30-year delay to encourage independence. This decision stems from the risks associated with his work and concerns for Telegram's future. Durov currently faces accusations including money laundering and child pornography distribution, which he denies.
