Telegram founder Pavel Durov offers free IVF to women willing to use his sem*n to have a baby
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has announced that he will provide complimentary In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments to women who wish to use his sperm.
This initiative aims to support women facing challenges with infertility by covering all costs associated with IVF through his collaboration with Altravita fertility clinic.
“We are happy to offer you a unique opportunity! Only in our clinic can you undergo IVF for free, using Pavel Durov’s sperm-one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time,” a message on Altravita’s website reads.
The clinic is committed to delivering exceptional care, working alongside leading experts in reproductive health and employing the latest technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
The application process is straightforward but selective, with interested individuals encouraged to contact Altravita to arrange a first consultation.
Earlier, in a post on Telegram, the CEO disclosed he fathered “over 100 biological kids” over 15 years.
“I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids. How is this possible for a guy who has never been married and prefers to live alone?” he wrote.
He recounted the story of how a friend first approached him for a sperm donation 15 years ago.
“He said that he and his wife couldn’t have kids due to a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at a clinic for them to have a baby,” said Pavel, adding that though he initially laughed it off, he realised later that his friend was serious.
Eventually, he agreed, setting in motion a series of donations that would go on to impact many families.
He wrote, “Fast forward to 2024, my past donating activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries to have kids. Moreover, many years after I stopped being a donor, at least one IVF clinic still has my frozen sperm available for anonymous use by families who want to have kids.”
“The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I’m proud that I did my part to help alleviate it,” Durov added.
