By no means is having 106 children normal or sane. But now I have a legit answer when someone says, “Why would anyone need $1 Billion.” I can now say, “So each of my 100 kids can get $10Million in inheritance money.”
10mil is still “set for life” territory just with an added debuff of, “If managed and invested carefully”
Geneticists in a thousand years are going to have questions about a sudden boom in certain gene markers around this time if they don't have the added context of billionaires deciding they're the master race by virtue of being billionaires.
Wouldn't be the first time... Didn't the same shit happen with Genghis Khan?
Actually works out to 160m per kid. So if they make meh investments like putting it all in U.S. bonds, they can get about 7 million in interest to live off of every year.
Clickbait article. Overwhelming majority of his children are from sperm donation. Not many people would split their inheritance that way so that's good. There are far far shittier parents. I'm Not saying that he's a saint!
Or we could just tax 100 freaking percent of this and use it to benefit much, much more than just 100 people? 😁 No one should have this much power.
I like your idea.
So if one of his offspring were to kill another one of his offspring the murdering offspring's share goes up (along with all the other surviving offspring)? This sounds like a dangerous announcement.
In fairness, offing someone means your share goes up less than 1%, making the risk-reward for murder math out beneficial for everyone.
However, if that 17 billion was split between two or three children, we might have the beginning of an Agatha Christie novel.
1% is still 170 million.
Totally a number worthy of murder. It's happened for much less
That would be split between 105 people. So it's really, you get 160 million or 161.6 million with a chance of life in prison.
Just put the money in a savings account with at least 1% interest and you'll make the extra in the first year
In fairness, offing someone means your share goes up less than 1%, making the risk-reward for murder math out beneficial for everyone.
Less than 1% (106 kids), so each share would be $160m each. However, if the murdering offspring has crossed the line into murder, why stop at just one murder? A single murder would net each surviving offspring an extra $1.5M. This also assumes there is only one murdering offspring. As soon as the first murder occurs there might be a second or third copycat murderer. With only 90 surviving offspring each survivor is getting a cool $188m each.
However, if that 17 billion was split between two or three children, we might have the beginning of an Agatha Christie novel.
Maybe not an Agatha Christie book, but the interesting novel would arrive where in the story one of the offspring figures out this math, and identifies common locations where more than one offspring would be at one time. So a single incident would net them multiple hits, and be hidden from obvious intent.
"Tonight, sadness grips the city as the roof of the Claridon Center Arena fell in during the sold out concert. At this hour officials confirm 37 dead as the search for survivors continues. No cause has been reported for the roof failure yet."
"A city bus was engulfed in flames when a stolen fuel tank truck collided with it at high speeds. There were no survivors on the bus carrying 42 people. Curiously, the tank truck driver escaped unharmed at is being sought by police even now for questioning."
It's like Highlander
Don't feel bad about it.
Okay, can we get the facts straight OP?
Is it $17 billion or $117 billion?
The article says $17 billion, but you typed $117 billion in the post body...
Pavel Durov, 40, told the French outlet Le Point in an interview about his decision to allocate his fortune. He's worth about $17.1 billion, per Forbes.
The headline is correct, according to the article. Must have just been an oversight.
I searched the text of the article for 117, zero results found.
Yeah. It's an oversight in the SEO summary. That wasn't me.
Ah, gotcha.
So if he has two more, do we have a cast for the next Suikoden?
But none of them are cute anime kids. Zero stars, do not recommend.
Crikey.
Elon better get pumping. His legion pales in comparison.
So... the most standard thing ever?
You have 106 children?
You don't?
Not anymore.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That I'm aware of...
What a gross fucker
That's not even a billion per shitty child. Fuckin' douche
Come on now, it's not like he's made of money.
Tap for spoiler
Why are you calling the children 'shitty'?
It's just my guess that the children will turn out shitty or are currently shitty
