Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has once again made headlines about his biological offsprings, however, it seems like the tech titan wishes to have more. Some time back Durov claimed on social media that he was a biological father to over hundred kids across 12 countries. One would normally think that this would be enough for him but it seems like he wishes to have more as he has thrown an incentive to the women who will bear his child through IVF.
The Telegram CEO has partnered with Altravita fertility clinic which is now offering to cover the completed IVF cost for women who will bear the child of Durov with the help of his frozen sperm. The clinic's official website reads, “We are happy to offer you a unique opportunity! Only in our clinic can you undergo IVF for free, using Pavel Durov’s sperm-one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time.”

Father Of Over Hundred
Back in July, Durov shared a long post claiming that he started donating his sperm some 15 years ago. He wrote, “Fifteen years ago, a friend of mine approached me with a weird request. He said that he and his wife couldn’t have kids due to a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at a clinic for them to have a baby. I laughed my ass off before realising he was dead serious.”
He added, “Fast forward to 2024, my past donating activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after I stopped being a donor, at least one IVF clinic still has my frozen sperm available for anonymous use by families who want to have kids.”
Durov mentioned that he intends to make his DNA open-source, enabling his biological children to connect with each other more easily. He wrote, “The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I'm proud that I did my part to help alleviate it."
