“We are happy to offer you a unique opportunity! Only in our clinic you can undergo IVF for free, using Pavel Durov’s sperm-one of the most famous and successful entrepreneurs of our time. This opportunity is one of a kind and the number of slots is limited,” reads the clinic’s website.

The Russia-based AltraVita clinic claims to be the exclusive facility authorized to store and utilize Durov's sperm.“The only Pavel Durov’s sperm bank in the world - Only our cryobank has the exclusive right to store and use biomaterial of Pavel Durov,” the clinic’s website reads.


It further states that “Pavel Durov is willing to finance all the IVF protocols that use his sperm.”

“It is a very generous contribution to society from someone who wants to help those dreaming of becoming parents,” it adds.

When Telegram CEO said he fathered over 100 kids


This isn't Durov's first involvement in genetic legacy projects. The tech executive has previously claimed to have more than 100 biological children in 12 different countries through donor programs. He has expressed interest in making his genetic information more widely available to help his biological children connect with their heritage.

“I am proud that I did my duty. 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. I also want to help destigmatize the whole notion of sperm donation and incentivize more healthy men to do it, so that families struggling to have kids can enjoy more options. Defy convention - redefine the norm,” Durov then said.
