Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of OnlyFans, died of cancer at the age of 43. Radvinsky was a Ukrainian-American billionaire with a net worth of approximately $3.8 billion as of May 2025. He acquired Fenix International Limited, the parent company of OnlyFans, in 2018.
Radvinsky began running pornography sites as a teenager and later founded OnlyFans in 2016, which gained immense popularity during the pandemic. Under his leadership, the platform grew to over 300 million users and generated more than $1 billion in annual revenue. OnlyFans allows adult film actors and sex workers to monetize their content through a subscription-based model, taking a 20% cut of payments.
In a statement, a spokesperson for OnlyFans expressed, “We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer.” The news has shocked many, with one social media user commenting, “Holy shit. The billionaire owner of OnlyFans is dead at 43 years old. Leonid Radvinsky was a huge donor to the pro-Israel lobby.” Radvinsky and his wife pledged $11 million to the pro-Israel committee AIPAC.
Radvinsky’s stake in Fenix International has been held under the LR Fenix Trust since 2024. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact cause of Radvinsky’s cancer and the future ownership of OnlyFans following his death.
Born in Ukraine and raised in Chicago, Radvinsky founded a venture capital firm, Leo, in 2009, focusing primarily on technology startups. His contributions to the adult content industry and the financial success of OnlyFans have left a lasting impact.
