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...

Is this guy even real or just a front for russian intelligence?
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.

Gross as it is. At least he is leaving them money. Musk will leave his kids Nazi flags made in china.
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.
-
Why are all these fucking weirdos like he, Epstein, Musk obsessed with having the most progeny? Fucking malignant narcissists.
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.

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.
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.

Why not just tax the money lmao

OK new rule, when someone gets to net worth of a billion dollars we give them an award, say congratulations you win capitalism, the. Take them out the back and shoot them. Creepy fucks.

What. The. Fuck.
FTA
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.

I think I'm missing something because you don't usually donate sperm and then act like it's your children afterwards. It sounds like a creepy move to insert himself in the lives of a bunch of families.

Would have been a legend if he did though.

He can insert whatever he wants if he's leaving me a portion of his fortune.

It should be redistributed to the countries he stole it from

It's fine if they are his bastard children, just as long as he has some blood relationship to the people he redistributes the wealth to
That's not weird at all...

Hey I like this idea. I want my own dog park!

If you're a billionaire, that's 10M dollars given per child assuming no taxes
I was thinking of the logistics to set it up initially, but yeah to billionairres its probably easier to hire that out or something.

Trusts don't pay inheritance tax, and LTD companies don't pay capital gains. Loophole's everywhere, by design

Wow you kind of got to feel bad for his six real children. He says he sees no difference between any of his children. He sees no difference between the six kids he supposedly raised, or I guess his Nanny's raised I don't know, and the 95 Plus children who came from sperm donations. What a fucked up thing to say. What a bizarre way of looking at the world.

That's not the issue though I think most people think it's gross because it was specifically done to get as many progeny as possible. I'm not arguing he's a racist or bigot but the quiver full mentality is specifically racist.

Wow, his view of what makes someone your child is the absolute opposite of what I believe. Any child I raise is "my child". Anyone who considers me their mom is "my child", no matter who their biological parents are.
And, thankfully I've never been in a position to have to give one up for adoption but if so, I would say the parents who raised them are the parents, not me.
I really don't think he's their dad. If he wants to be a mysterious benefactor who gives them money because their moms used his sperm, that's not an awful thing to do, but saying they are his children is lunacy.
I sure hope he doesn't have any stepchildren, as presumably they'd be left out of this largesse.
