The billionaire founder of messaging platform Telegram will leave his fortune of £17 billion to the more than 100 children he has fathered.
Tech tycoon Pavel Durov, 40, has six children with three different partners and is believed to have around 100 more after he donated sperm on a mass scale to dozens of couples in 12 different countries.
Durov revealed his plans to leave his fortune to all of his offspring in a recent interview with France's Le Point magazine, saying that he saw no difference between the children he conceived naturally and those who came from donations.
'They are all my children and will all have the same rights', Mr Durov said. 'I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.'
But none of them will get any cash for 30 years, he revealed.
