In a shocking revelation, Telegram founder
Pavel Durov told French media earlier this year that he has more than 100 kids around the world. They are mostly from babies conceived through his sperm donations. He captured global attention with his claim. This disclosure has not only been strikingly human but also added a controversial dimension. He is known to building one of the world’s most influential messaging site.
Accounting this cause, she shared in several interviews that he started quite young after doctors told him he had “excellent genetic material”. He thought of helping out couples, who were struggling to conceive.
In a recent interview with Wall Street Journal, Durov said he is offering to pay for the IVF costs for any women under 38 who wants to use his sperm. The tech mogul has also said that these children would inherit his money and that he is embarking on this journey to fight against infertility. Some, however, say the practice raises moral questions.
He has never seen this as something to hide rather, he has seen this cause as a social contribution.
He has supported individual choices and also supports transparency when it comes to his involvement in the cases. He believes that all the children should be aware of their biological influence in if laws permit.
He is known for living a nomadic and minimalist lifestyle. Pavel continuously challenges societal norms and has rejected several corporate buyouts. His story of being a biological father to over 100 kids reinforces his image as a man. He refuses to fit into predefined boxes in technology and life.
