    Clickbait article. Overwhelming majority of his children are from sperm donation. Not many people would split their inheritance that way so that’s good. There are far far shittier parents. I’m Not saying that he’s a saint!

    So if one of his offspring were to kill another one of his offspring the murdering offspring’s share goes up (along with all the other surviving offspring)? This sounds like a dangerous announcement.

      In fairness, offing someone means your share goes up less than 1%, making the risk-reward for murder math out beneficial for everyone.

      However, if that 17 billion was split between two or three children, we might have the beginning of an Agatha Christie novel.

    By no means is having 106 children normal or sane. But now I have a legit answer when someone says, “Why would anyone need $1 Billion.” I can now say, “So each of my 100 kids can get $10Million in inheritance money.”

    10mil is still “set for life” territory just with an added debuff of, “If managed and invested carefully”

    Okay, can we get the facts straight OP?

    Is it $17 billion or $117 billion?

    The article says $17 billion, but you typed $117 billion in the post body…

      Pavel Durov, 40, told the French outlet Le Point in an interview about his decision to allocate his fortune. He’s worth about $17.1 billion, per Forbes.

      The headline is correct, according to the article. Must have just been an oversight.
