Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov Offers Free IVF to Women to Have a Baby Using His Sperm

Telegram CEO and Russian billionaire, Pavel Durov is making headlines with his unique offer to women interested in having children through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

As of November 13, 2024, Durov is offering his sperm for free to women under the age of 38 who wish to conceive using IVF. This initiative is facilitated through a partnership with the Altra Vita IVF clinic, which claims exclusive rights to store and use Durov's biomaterial.

Durov, who has an estimated net worth of $15.5 billion, has previously stated that he has fathered over 100 children across 12 countries through similar donations. He began donating his sperm 15 years ago, initially as a favor to a friend facing fertility issues.

The Altra Vita clinic's website describes this opportunity as "unique," highlighting Durov's status as one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the time.

This offer comes amidst legal challenges for Durov, who was recently arrested in France on charges related to criminal activities facilitated through Telegram. Despite these controversies, Durov continues to promote his philanthropic efforts in reproductive health, providing financial support for IVF procedures to women willing to participate in this program.
