I know of a man with over 50 children. I'm friendly with his neighbour, who has almost 40. 50 is a number that a human can still care for and love each one individually.
NB: Yes, I know that the Wikipedia list of "people with many children" makes 50 look like a record-breaking number. That list is Western-centric. Though 50 is a huge number of children even by Arab standards, it is not unheard of.

If you can have four wives, 50 children is only about 12/13 per wife, and 12/13 kids seems like a high-but-achievable number in our monogamous culture. So I find that very believable.
