Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram Messenger app, has disclosed that he has fathered over 100 biological children through sperm donation.
The 39-year-old entrepreneur made this announcement on his popular channel, leaving many in awe of his unconventional approach to family planning.
According to Durov, his journey into sperm donation began 15 years ago when a friend approached him with a request to help his wife conceive due to fertility issues.
Initially, Durov was taken aback by the request but eventually agreed to donate his sperm at a clinic.
Little did he know that this decision would lead to him becoming a biological father to numerous children worldwide.
Durov explained that the clinic’s director informed him that “high-quality donor material” was in short supply, and he felt it was his civic duty to donate more sperm to help couples struggling with infertility.
This led to him donating sperm multiple times, resulting in over 100 children being born in 12 countries.
The Telegram CEO emphasized that he has never been married and prefers a solitary life, making his decision to become a sperm donor even more remarkable.
Durov’s actions have helped numerous families achieve their dream of having children, and he takes pride in his unconventional contribution to society.
In a surprising move, Durov announced plans to open-source his DNA, allowing his biological children to easily find him if they wish, Diaspora Digital Media understands.
While acknowledging potential risks, he expressed no regrets about his decision to become a sperm donor.
