• Pavel Durov will split his $13.9 billion fortune among over 100 children.
• He fathered these children through natural procreation and sperm donations.
• Inheritance will be inaccessible for 30 years, starting now.
• Durov aims for his children to build independence before inheriting wealth.
• He faces allegations from French authorities over Telegram's use for criminal activities.

Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, has shared his plans to allocate his substantial fortune of $13.9 billion among his over 100 children. This includes six children he has fathered naturally with three different partners and more than 100 others conceived via sperm donation across 12 countries, as he revealed in a recent interview with French magazine Le Point. Durov emphasized, "I make no difference between my children; they are all my children and will all have the same rights," asserting his intent to foster family unity through thoughtful inheritance planning, according to CBS News, BBC, and India Times.

Durov indicated that none of his children will have access to their inheritance for a period of 30 years, starting now, to encourage them to develop independence and self-reliance. "I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone," he explained. This approach has been designed to prevent potential conflicts over his wealth after his passing, as he states, "I don’t want them to tear each other apart," according to India Times and Business Insider.
