Now, an ultra-wealthy Chinese businessman is doing the same in the U.S., in hopes of producing around 20 U.S.-born children to inherit his video game fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>Xu Bo is the founder and chairman of Guangzhou Duoyi Network: one of China\u2019s largest mobile gaming companies. Despite the 48-year-old entrepreneur growing his company in Guangzhou, he\u2019s not looking to pass down his $1.1 billion fortune to a child born in his home country. A <em>Wall Street Journal <\/em>investigation into Xu\u2019s surrogacy history in the U.S. found that the Chinese billionaire was seeking parental rights to at least four unborn children, and had previously fathered and was actively fathering at least eight more surrogacy kids. There could be dozens more.<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire\u2019s video game company had also reportedly stated that Xu has more than 100 children born through surrogates based in the U.S., according to <em>WSJ <\/em>reporting. He was allegedly seeking \u201c50 high-quality sons,\u201d according to accounts linked to Xu on Chinese microblogging website Weibo, and said that \u201chaving more children can solve all problems.\u201d During a 2023 court hearing, Xu also said he hoped to have around 20 U.S.-born children to one day take over his business, according to <em>WSJ<\/em>. He also fantasized about his American kids marrying Musk\u2019s children in the future. Last month, Xu\u2019s ex-girlfriend also alleged that he had 300 children living around the world\u2014a claim his company denied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Xu\u2019s Duoyi Network has since made a statement against the <em>Journal<\/em>, stating the publication had \u201cdeliberately confused the facts and fabricated false information,\u201d and that only 12 of the alleged 100-plus children were born in the U.S.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another billionaire fathering 100+ heirs: Telegram founder Pavel Durvo\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Xu is among a growing number of ultra-rich men parenting dozens of children to shepherd their companies and expand their legacies. And just like Xu, the video game billionaire, Telegram founder Pavel Durvo has helped conceive over 100 babies across 12 countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Officially, the entrepreneur worth $14.2 billion has six \u201cofficial\u201d children with three different partners. In addition to this parentage, Durov has also been donating to a sperm clinic for the past 15 years, which told him has led to more than 100 pregnancies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote my will very recently,\u201d Durov told French publication <em>Le Point<\/em> in an interview this June. \u201cI make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations. They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don\u2019t want them to tear each other apart after my death.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"not-prose empty:contents [:has(*[data-empty=true])]:hidden\">\n<div class=\"typography-level-4 mt-4 font-graphik-compact [&amp;_*_a]:hover:underline\" data-cy=\"subscriptionPlea\"><span class=\"description-parser contents\"><strong>Join us at the Fortune Workplace Innovation Summit <\/strong>May 19\u201320, 2026, in Atlanta.
