In a document for the SEC, Durov did not name his investors - and this had to be done by him or their friends. So, co-founder of Qiwi Sergey Solonin said that he invested $ 17 million in Telegram, and David Yakobashvili, co-founder of Wimm-Bill-Dann, informed Vedomosti about investments of $ 10 million.

It is also assumed that Roman Abramovich invested $ 300 million, but the representative of the owner of Chelsea, John Mann, said that this information is not true.

According to a source close to Telegram, the cumulative share of investors with Russian roots in the ICO does not exceed 7%, and the maximum check from one investor is $ 20 million.
