Billionaire offers free IVF treatment with his sperm | Mamamia

Meet Pavel Durov. He’s the Russian entrepreneur behind the secure messaging platform Telegram. He is also a French citizen.

Back in 2017, Durov left Russia and moved to Dubai. His wealth quickly skyrocketed, and he was once the youngest and richest billionaire in the Middle East, according to Forbes.

As of this year, his net worth is an estimated $US15.5 billion, making him the 137th richest person in the world today, per Forbes. Not bad, right?

But here’s where it gets interesting. Pavel isn’t just about tech and wealth — he appears to be really into the idea of, well, spreading his genes.

The billionaire reportedly already shares five children with two ex-girlfriends. But that’s not all. He claims to have at least 100 other biological children. Yep, over 100.

About 15 years ago, Durov donated sperm for the first time to help a friend in need.

He said the boss of the clinic told him “high quality donor material” was in short supply, and it was his “civic duty” to donate sperm to anonymously help more couples. So, of course, he stepped up to the plate.

Fast-forward to today, and Durov says his donations have helped more than 100 couples in 12 countries become parents.

And in November, Durov announced that he was offering it for free, as well as shouting the cost of IVF treatment for those who jump on the offer.

[Ed: Women contemplating this might want to take account of child abuse claims made against him by the mother of three of his children. The world is going to be populated by psychopath progeny if women don’t begin exercise better judgement.]
