_________________________________

A few hours ago, Forbes published an annual list of Russia’s richest heirs, whose parents’ combined fortune is $268 billion. Like last year, the selection includes the children of the creator of VKontakte and Telegram, 37-year-old Pavel Durov, whom he carefully hides from the public. From the sixth line of the rating, they climbed to the fifth.

Now 13-year-old Alina and 12-year-old Mikhail claim a net worth of $7.5 billion each, according to Forbes. In addition to Pavel’s children, the rating includes the heirs of Vagit Alekperov, Andrey Melnichenko, Leonid Mikhelson, Vladimir Lisin and 47 other large Russian entrepreneurs, whose fortune is in the billions of dollars.

Note that information about Durov’s children appeared in Forbes along with last year’s heir rating. Rumor has it that the mother of the children is Pavel’s ex-wife Daria Bondarenko, whom he met while studying at the philological faculty of St. Petersburg State University. Daria, on the other hand, studied history, and also headed the information committee of the student council and was the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper Studen. At the moment, Daria lives in Barcelona, ​​and the place of residence of their children is unknown.

Earlier, this information was confirmed by Durov’s classmate Maxim Petrenchuk in a documentary about the famous programmer and businessman. Although a few years ago, in a conversation with the author of the book “Durov’s Code” Nikolai Kononov, at that time the editor-in-chief of “The Secret of the Firm”, Pavel Durov personally denied that he was married and had children.

Pavel Durov left Russia in 2014 and is in the top 30 richest businessmen in the country according to Forbes. According to media reports, since 2017, Pavel has been living in Dubai, where the headquarters of the Telegram messenger is also located.. Last autumn, Durov unexpectedly answered to personal questions of messenger users.
