"I have recently made a will. I have decided that my children will have access to my fortune no earlier than in 30 years — starting today. I want them to live like ordinary people, to build their own lives, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, and not to depend on a bank account," he said in an interview with the French Magazine Point.

Durov explained that he made a will at the age of only 400 because his work "carries risks." According to him, defending freedoms can make many enemies, including in powerful states.

"I want to protect my children, as well as the company I created, Telegram. I want Telegram to always remain true to the values that I defend," he said.

The founder of the messenger said that he is "officially the father" of six children from three different women. According to him, his son was recently born in Dubai, but he could not attend his birth due to the ban on leaving France. Therefore, the boy has not yet been issued a passport. Durov also complained that he was now missing the first months of his son's life.

At the same time, he recalled that he had more than a hundred biological children in 12 countries thanks to sperm donation. According to Durov, he makes no difference between children conceived naturally and those who were born through donation — they will all have the same rights. ria.ru.
