    I'm not trying be judgmental. But I have to say, I think that might be too many kids.

      Luckily narcissism isn’t inherited, it’s learned. But you know what else is inherited? Money.

      That being said, I don’t have a lot of faith in the morals of a parent who’d have a kid for the money.

      People that get donated sperm select for vanity all the time, so the kid learning that is more than not probable.

        Is it possibly an extension of their "line goes up" mentality? Or is there a possibility they're moving towards something more nefarious? 100 kids seems like a lot to try and manage if you're actually acknowleging them as progeny and distributing your wealth among them.

        If you're a billionaire, that's 10M dollars given per child assuming no taxes

              There's also a strong white supremacist aspect to natalism. It's a form of racial eugenics.

                They have a breeding kink and the means to realise it. You are kink shaming them.

                              Mr Durov, 40, said he is the official father of six children with three partners. He started sperm donation 15 years ago and added that more than 100 babies were conceived that way.

                              He is worth US$13.9 billion (S$17.9 billion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

                              “I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,” he said. “They are all my children and will all have the same rights.”

                              “I wrote my will very recently,” he noted. “I decided that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of 30 years has elapsed, starting from today.”

                                  Did people read the article? He's been doing sperm donation for 15+ years, and wants to leave his inheritance to also be split with the kids that have come from sperm donation. Isn't this a good thing?

                                  It's not like he's personally impregnated women for 100+ children. Which it seems to be what the comments here are reacting to?

                                  Not saying this billionaire is a saint or anything, but it really doesn't look like people here are reading past the headline...

                                    In appearances he seems to be real. Culturally quite typical for those jerks who are Russia's elite now, except their older generation holding power kinda hides that.

                                    Durov is the intermediate generation, gross, but trying to pretend. I don't know if he was born to such a family (KGB/FSB/nomenclature relatives, getting a good education as a mathematician would check out then) or accepted into their, eh, society seems too strong a word.

                                    It's like a network of thieves recognizing each other by their particular kind of behavior. There's too many of them to firmly know they are talking to one of their own, so that behavior and approach to life is all it takes to be perceived as one of them.

                                    (I know you won't believe me, but they think that signature behavior is aristocratic or whatever, talking in Esopean language, dropping hints, not looking you in the eyes, cold faces, being silent and not talking a lot, fish eyes ; there are people with actual noble ancestry in Russia, they do have sort of a common approach to right behavior, and that's basically the opposite of this - talking to the other person directly, if making hints, then making it obvious that it's a metaphor, not trying to show contempt or threat in their face, being clear and honest, at least in appearances.)

                                    Their part of my generation is just shit from the ass. Cunning and more evil, but no class or wisdom at all. I mean, there's a saying "order beats class", but they can have order only in ideal conditions too. Using bigger expense to imitate an achievement by smaller expense, which wouldn't be a compliment to their abilities even if it were real. What's worst is they don't even understand it.

                                    Though this is where I must share one thing I've learned from them - you can imitate a level much higher than yours. You may have no taste, but read and imitate the taste of people who you want to deceive, and succeed. You may not know some domain area, but deceive those who do. Not have deeper understanding of some important mechanism, but imitate a person who does to those who do.

                                    A thought similar to LLM bots in some sense. So - they are dangerous.

                                      Fuuuuck that, are we really at the stage where leaving money is great? Thats ten million a pop. That isnt great, thats more generational wealth for undeserving nepo babies. Let them make their own way.

                                        Must be something with psychopaths, for all I know about it was very important to have many children.

                                        Stronger primal instincts maybe, and not augmented by responsibility or fear or love.

                                          Narcissism (NPL) is inherited and it's not learned. It's a DSM condition.

                                          If you mean just being a jerk, then that doesn't look like this. That looks like Eichmann.
