Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has revealed he has over 100 biological children across 12 countries due to his past sperm donations.
In a Telegram post, Durov shared that he began donating sperm 15 years ago after a friend requested his help due to fertility issues. He was deemed a “high-quality donor,” and his sperm was used globally.
Though he has stopped donating, his frozen sperm remains available for anonymous use.
Durov plans to open-source his DNA to help his children find each other and to destigmatize sperm donation, encouraging more men to participate.
