Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of the adult-content platform OnlyFans, has died at age 43 following a long battle with cancer.
Since purchasing OnlyFans from its British founders in 2018, Radvinsky oversaw a period of explosive growth.
A very private figure, the Ukrainian-born, Chicago-raised entrepreneur was a pivotal figure in the digital creator economy. His site boasts of creators including Cardi B, Bella Thorne, and Iggy Azalea.
While known for not-safe-for-work content, OnlyFans has diversified into safe-for-work content through the OFTV streaming service.
Under Radvinsky’s leadership, the platform’s creator base surged from 350,000 in 2019 to 4.6 million by 2024. It had over 305 million users in 2025.
In 2023 alone, the platform paid out $6.6 billion to creators, retaining a 20% commission.
At the time of his passing, Radvinsky was reportedly in talks to sell the company for approximately $8 billion.
