The owner of OnlyFans, a site known for its adult content that is credited with revolutionising the online porn industry, has died at the age of 43.

Leonid Radvinsky, who was born in Ukraine and grew up in Chicago, had purchased the company in 2018 from its two UK-based founders, OnlyFans said.

The site's popularity surged during the Covid-19 pandemic, landing him on Forbes' annual list of billionaires just three years later.

He "passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer," OnlyFans confirmed in a statement, which asked for privacy for his family.

Founded in 2016, OnlyFans is a social media platform where creators can post videos and photos and charge subscribers for tips or a monthly fee.

Creators share a range of content from cooking to fitness videos, but it is best known for pornography and the way it encourages creators and fans to connect through livestreams, personalised messages, and direct requests for custom-made photos and videos.

In return for hosting the material, OnlyFans takes a 20% share of all payments.

The company generated $1.4bn (£1.04bn) in revenue from more than £7bn transactions and had more than 377 million subscribers in 2024, according to its most recent Companies House filing.

About 4.6 million creators were posting to the site that year, it said.

The boom in size and popularity under Radvinsky's ownership also brought scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators over its adult content.

In 2024, British regulators launched an investigation into whether children were accessing porn, an issue that the company at the time blamed on a technical issue.

Ofcom ultimately dropped that probe, but it fined the firm about £1m for failing to respond accurately to its requests for information about the measures it had in place to check the age of its users, who in theory must be 18 or over.

Several years prior, the platform had been accused of failing to deal with illegal content, including child sexual abuse material.

Amid increased pressure and scrutiny over its content, OnlyFans outlined plans in August 2021 to stop allowing sexual material on the platform.

However, it dramatically u-turned on the proposal days later, after the plans were met with intense backlash from users and adult performers.

The company has also been involved in legal fights with users, including some who felt scammed after learning that chats they thought they were having with OnlyFans creators were actually handled by low-paid, third parties. Those cases have not succeeded to date.

Radvinsky graduated with an economics degree from Northwestern University and most recently lived in Florida, according to his website. Forbes estimates his net worth at $4.7bn.

He had been exploring a sale of OnlyFans last year.

As well as OnlyFans, he invested in tech companies via a Florida-based venture capital firm, Leo.com.

His philanthropy included donations to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, according to his website.

meobizy:
Not everybody uses the site for pornographic content. That wasn’t its intentional purpose. The company decided to accept the situation when pornography boosted its popularity past whatever its creators envisioned.

IS IT TRUE THAT ONLY FANS WAS NOT ORIGINALLY MADE FOR PORN

Gemini said
It is technically true, but the reality is a bit of a "shades of grey" situation. While the platform was marketed as a general tool for all creators, its founder’s history and the site's initial user base suggest adult content was always part of the DNA.

Here is the breakdown of how the platform actually started:

1. The Official "Mainstream" Vision
When Tim Stokely launched OnlyFans in 2016, he officially pitched it as a "paywall" for social media—a way for any influencer (fitness trainers, musicians, chefs, or models) to charge fans a monthly subscription fee for exclusive content. The goal was to compete with platforms like Patreon and YouTube by offering a more direct monetization model.

2. The Founder’s "Adult" Background
The "not made for porn" claim gets complicated when you look at Stokely's history. Before OnlyFans, he founded several other sites that were explicitly for the adult industry:

GlamWorship (2011): A site focused on the "financial domination" fetish.

Customs4U: A platform where fans could pay adult stars for personalized, custom videos.

Because of this background, OnlyFans was built with "no restrictions" from day one. Unlike Instagram or Facebook, it didn't ban nudity, which made it a natural "safe haven" for the adult performers Stokely was already working with on his other sites.

3. The Shift to a "Porn Empire"
While the platform was open to everyone, two major things cemented its reputation as a porn site:

The 2018 Acquisition: Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of the adult webcam site MyFreeCams, bought a 75% stake in the company. Under his leadership, the site leaned heavily into the adult sector.

The 2020 Pandemic: When lockdowns hit, thousands of people (and celebrities like Cardi B and Bella Thorne) joined the platform to make money from home. The massive influx of adult content during this time basically rebranded the site in the public eye forever.

4. The Famous "Ban" of 2021
In late 2021, OnlyFans actually tried to return to its "original" non-porn roots by announcing a ban on sexually explicit content. They claimed the move was due to pressure from banks and payment processors. However, the backlash from creators was so intense that they reversed the decision within a week.

The Verdict: While it was officially designed as a general-purpose subscription tool for all creators, it was built by an adult industry entrepreneur and purposefully designed without the "puritanical" filters of other social media, making its transition into a porn giant almost inevitable.
