OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky dies aged 43

Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of the adult-entertainment platform, OnlyFans, has died.

He was 43.

"We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer," an OnlyFans spokesperson said. "His family have requested privacy at this difficult time."

Radvinsky acquired Fenix International Limited, the company that owns and operates OnlyFans, in 2018.

He was a director and the majority shareholder of the company which was originally started in 2016 by the British businessman Tim Stokely

The popularity of OnlyFans exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdowns drove creators and consumers online, turning the subscription-based platform into a mainstream source of income and entertainment globally.

The company recorded €1.2 billion in net revenue in 2024, taking a 20 percent commission on most creator earnings, and had been valued at around €4.7 billion in early-stage sale talks earlier this year.

In addition to his work at OnlyFans, Radvinsky was an angel investor in a number of companies.

He also supported several philanthropic projects globally.
