OnlyFans owner dies at 43, ending a controversial tech saga
Leonid Radvinsky, the Ukrainian-American billionaire who built OnlyFans by acquiring a majority stake via Fenix International in 2018, has died at 43 after a cancer battle, the company announced. OnlyFans, UK-based but profitable in the US, has paid creators more than $25 billion and generated about $7.2 billion from fans in the past year, with a record $701 million in dividends paid to him last year. Radvinsky had explored a multibillion-dollar sale and a 2022 IPO that never materialized, and his shares have been held in a trust since 2024. The company asked for privacy for his family during this difficult time.
