Why billionaire father of over 100 kids still donates seed

A Russian billionaire who claims to have fathered over 100 children has revealed that women are eager for his "high-quality" sperm.

Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, stated that he has donated sperm to numerous couples in 12 different countries.

The 39-year-old, who is unmarried and worth approximately £14 billion, is still willing to father more children through IVF clinics.

In a post on his own platform, he claimed it was his "civic duty" due to his "high-quality donor material."

According to the Daily Mail and the Russian news site E1.RU, Durov's sperm is also available for purchase from clinics in Moscow, priced at 35,000 rubles (£303).

Their investigation also found that IVF treatments with his sperm could cost up to 300,000 rubles (£2,600) and additional artificial insemination costs of £700.

His profile also notes that he is a vegetarian, enjoys "waking up early," and speaks nine foreign languages, including English, Persian, and Latin, according to E1.RU.

Mr. Durov recently claimed to have fathered more than 100 children as a sperm donor.

This follows his recent admission on Telegram that he has "more than 100 biological children."

He said, "My previous sperm donation activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries have children."

The tech billionaire explained that he started donating sperm 15 years ago when a friend approached him with a "special request."

He added, "He and his wife were unable to have children due to fertility issues and asked me to donate sperm to the clinic so they could have a child."

He stated that he sees sperm donation as one of his "civic duties" and claimed he wanted to "spread his DNA" so that his biological children could connect more easily.

The tech expert added, "Of course, there are risks, but I don’t regret being a donor.

"The shortage of healthy sperm has been a significant issue worldwide, and I am proud that I have done my part to help alleviate it.

"I also want to challenge the whole notion of sperm donation and encourage healthier men to participate."
