Leonid Radvinsky, the CEO of OnlyFans, the adult content
platform, has died at the age of 43.
In a statement released on Monday by the company, the
spokesperson said the Ukrainian-born businessman “passed away peacefully after
a long battle with cancer”. It also asked for privacy for his family.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo
Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. His
family have requested privacy at this difficult time,” the statement reads.
Radvinsky, who grew up in Chicago, United States, acquired
OnlyFans in 2018 from its UK-based founders and built it into one of the most
profitable digital subscription platforms in the world.
Founded in 2016, OnlyFans allows creators to share videos
and photos behind a paywall, earning through subscriptions, tips, and
personalised content.
While the platform hosts a wide range of material from
fitness tutorials to cooking videos — it became widely known for adult content
and its direct creator-to-fan interaction model.
The site’s popularity surged during the COVID-19 pandemic,
as lockdowns pushed more creators and audiences online.
The boom significantly increased Radvinsky’s wealth, earning
him a spot on Forbes’ annual billionaires list within three years of acquiring
the company.
OnlyFans takes a 20 percent commission from creators’
earnings, a model that has contributed to its rapid financial growth and global
reach.
