Julian Assange has at least four love children to different mistresses over the world according to leaked documents.
The Wikileaks founder is alleged to have boasted about his conquests to former associates who have informed investigators about his claims.
Assange was fond of the idea of having several Julianson each continent
An extract from the forthcoming tell-all book by former Wikileaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg, said in his book, "Often I sat in large groups and listened to Julian boast about how many children he had fathered in various parts of the world. He seemed to enjoy the idea of lots and lots of Julians, one on every continent.
Whether he took care of any of these alleged children, or whether they existed at all, was another question."
His youngest child is allegedly just six-months-old, according to the former friend.

The oldest is 20-year-old Daniel Assange, the only one of his children that has been reported on. The ages of the other two children are unknown, but are said to also be in Australia.
Daniel Domscheit-Berg's explosive book describes Assange as a paranoid megalomaniac. The book, released today, also claimed the organisation was chaotic and unable to protect its sources.
"Julian's main criterion for a woman was simple," said Domscheit-Berg, in an excerpt of the book. "She had to be young. Preferably younger than 22. And it went without saying that she couldn't question him.
She has to be aware of her role as a woman", he used to say. Wikileaks claims the accounts in his book are false and that he has exaggerated his responsibility within the organisation.
Hearing deferred
A British judge yesterday said he needed time to consider whether WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sex crimes and adjourned his extradition hearing to February 24.
