Pavel Durov Reveals Case of New Telegram Millionaire Emerging in Just 20 Days

Durov tweeted that 20 days ago, a developer rolled out a Telegram-based mini app. Durov pointed out that it took the anonymous developer merely a weekend to create it. Besides, there was no team to help him – the developer did all the work on his own and had no budget or investors. That mini app has already reached $1 million in net profit, according to the tweet.

Telegram's most recent update for app developers

In his tweet, Durov never revealed the name of this highly successful developer or his app that has hit $1 million in net profit. It is likely that he was referring to the recently announced expansion of a range of tools for developers who make mini-apps on Telegram.

Those features included full-screen mode, hope screen shortcuts, subscription plans, emoji status access, monetization of advertisements, media sharing, etc. He added that only two features had already gone live by the moment of publication: Expanded Messaging Limits and Ad Monetization. The rest will take 2-4 weeks to launch.

Robert Kiyosaki's advice on becoming millionaire

Kiyosaki often cites the imaginary “rich dad” from his book, who taught him to invest with a profit and not to save up “fake” money, which Kiyosaki calls U.S. dollars. Over the past four years, Kiyosaki tweeted many times that he buys Bitcoin, gold, silver and other wealth-generating assets on the dip when their prices crash, while others sell them.
