In his post, he wrote, “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 then explained how it all began: “Fifteen years ago, a friend of mine approached me with a weird request. 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. I laughed my ass off before realizing he was dead serious.”
When he visited the clinic to donate sperm, he was informed that he was “high-quality donor material” and that his donation could help couples worldwide. “This sounded crazy enough to get me to sign up for sperm donation,” Durov added.

Durov also mentioned that although he has stopped being a donor, an IVF clinic still has his frozen sperm, which can be “anonymously used by families who want to have kids.”
He expressed his thoughts on possibly open-sourcing his DNA: “Of course, there are risks, but I don’t regret having been a donor. 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,” he added.
