Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Mysteriously Ill After Strange Incident
Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, recently experienced a mysterious incident that left him bedridden for two weeks. The billionaire, who had been in negotiations for the TON project and facing messenger blocking attempts, kept the incident secret from his team to avoid worry.
Durov's ordeal began when he found an unknown object at the door of a rented townhouse, left by a neighbor. An hour later, he started feeling unwell, with his body not responding as it should and sharp pain coursing through him. The next day, Durov felt extremely weak and was unable to walk on his own for nearly two weeks.
Meanwhile, Durov's fortune has been on the rise. Since the beginning of 2025, his wealth has increased by a staggering $4.82 billion, bringing his total net worth to $15.8 billion. This is the largest increase among Russian billionaires. However, the exact location where Durov's health deteriorated in 2024 remains unknown.
In a recent interview, Durov opened up about the pressure Telegram has faced from both Russian and American authorities.
Pavel Durov's sudden illness, triggered by an unknown object and neighbor's actions, has raised questions about his safety and well-being. Despite the incident, Durov's wealth has significantly increased, reflecting the growing success of Telegram.
