As Pavel Durov now lives in Dubai, rapper Morgenstern revealed some details Bashny.Net

Cosmopolitan, athlete and just handsome - such is he, billionaire with experience Pavel Durov. His personal relationships and future business projects are hidden under seven locks. Surprisingly, shed light on some aspects of the life of the founder of Vkontakte was able to Russian rapper Morgenstern. In a recent podcast Frame Tamera Alisher told how he met a businessman and where Pavel Durov spends his billionaire everyday life.



In 2017, the man settled in Dubai and 5 years later received UAE citizenship. Pavel has a Russian and French passport, as well as citizenship of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis in the Eastern Caribbean.

Now the 39-year-old businessman lives in a private villa with five bedrooms in one of the most expensive areas of Dubai – on the artificial island of Palm Jumeirah. According to Forbes estimates, Durov pays about $ 1 million a year for renting the mansion.



The main business project of Pavel — Telegram — takes the lion’s share of his time. At the end of the summer of 2023, Durov announced that he planned to make the platform one of the leading social networks in the world and is now actively adjusting it to accepted standards. The businessman promises that in the next decade the messenger will reveal its true potential. Just a couple of days after this statement, free stories appeared in Telegram.

In 2022, Forbes named the creator of VKontakte the richest businessman of the Emirates. His fortune of just over $15 billion allowed Durov to top the ranking of the UAE’s youngest fat cats. However, a year later, the entrepreneur lost 3.5 billion and received the unflattering title of “the impoverished Russian billionaire”. That doesn’t seem to matter to Paul. He generally avoids discussing money, claiming it doesn’t make him happy.



Like many Russian celebrities, Alisher Morgenstern moved from Russia to Dubai in 2022. The rapper left his homeland, hiding from the investigation, he was accused of trafficking in prohibited substances. A little later, Morgenstern’s track record was supplemented by the “honorary” title of foreign agent for anti-war posts in the Telegram channel “Not Morgenstern”. All the way home was closed. Does the rapper regret it? Judging by his new busy life, not at all.



The acquaintance of Alisher with Durov happened unexpectedly. The businessman himself invited Morgenstern to visit him through mutual friends. According to the rapper, he was struck by the billionaire’s luxury housing, but even more by the identity of the owner of the house. At first, the conversation was complicated and stiff, but then they talked, and Paul seemed to the rapper “a simple open kid.”

Since then, celebrities sometimes spend time with each other. Sometimes they go to the gym together or have dinner. Durov devotes a lot of time to his physical form, and his hot pictures for more than one year excite women's hearts. However, on the personal front, everything is quite boring for a rich handsome man.



In an interview, Morgenstern shares that his friend chose the hermit lifestyle. In his free time he plays sports. At the same time, Paul is a staunch opponent of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol, and deliberately avoids relationships with women.

According to Alisher, Paul’s voluntary self-restraint does not cause this inconvenience. He devotes himself to work on the messenger, and this austerity brings the businessman a lot of pleasure.



Once Durov revealed with Alisher and gave him some life advice. One was about women. Paul advised the rapper not to give free rein to emotions and protect himself from strong feelings. In order not to suffer from breakups, you should not fall in love, because it is very painful and dangerous. At first, you feel great, but sooner or later you have to stick out, and this greatly affects productivity and work.

Loving Morgenstern, most likely, this way is not too much. Recall that in the spring of 2022, he broke up with his beloved Dilara – their marriage lasted only 7 months. According to the girl, the reason for the divorce was the infidelity of Alisher and his manic obsession with his career.



Who knows, maybe Pavel Durov’s company and his philosophy will help the 25-year-old rapper rein in his windy nature and gain wisdom. What do you think? Share your opinion in the comments!
