How much do you think the most expensive Telegram username is worth? We'll tell you now. A Russian blogger sold the username @pavel for 8 million rubles. It was given to Pavel Durov. During Telegram's early days, media manager Pavel Fyodorov received the username @pavel. This rare asset brought many strange stories: Fyodorov was mistaken for Pavel Durov and offered investment opportunities, and once, the audience of a certain Orthodox public group turned against him. As Telegram's popularity grew, the username remained with Fyodorov: Durov decided it would be unfair to take it away. On the night of April 22, Fyodorov put the username up for auction. The next morning, he discovered that the name had sold for 15,000 tonkins—approximately 8 million rubles. As Durov later reported, a crypto entrepreneur bought Nikk and gifted it to Durov. Now the Telegram founder has another username on his list.
