The creator of Telegram, billionaire Pavel Durov, has posted a tweet that shows that his widely popular Telegram social media and messaging platform is helping developers to earn millions of U.S. dollars.
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.
The announcement was made by the platform on Nov. 5. Back then, a post published by Pavel Durov on his Telegram channel revealed an update that allowed developers to embrace new features for creating new types of apps and games 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
Renowned investor and author of the popular book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” frequently shares his own guidance on how to become a millionaire. According to him, the best way to do it is to use the opportunities around you, which often come during economic crises and market crashes because, during these times, assets are on sale and can be bought cheaply.
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.
