According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Durov is worth US$ 13.9 billion (AU$ 21.4 billion).

In an interview with French magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old CEO said that his 100 children will inherit his fortune, but not for at least 30 years.

"I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account," he told the publication.

Durov explained that he has six children who were conceived naturally with three different partners, while at least another 100 were conceived through sperm donations.

"The clinic, where I started donating sperm 15 years ago to help a friend, told me that more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries," he told Le Point.

He also stressed that his children “will all have the same rights.”

This means, assuming he has 106 children, each of his brood would inherit about $131 million each.

"I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death," he said in the interview.
