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."

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.

In addition to his work at OnlyFans, Radvinsky was an angel investor in a number of companies.
He also supported several philanthropic projects globally.
