Overview
- OnlyFans, which announced his death Monday, said Leonid Radvinsky passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer and asked for his family’s privacy.
- He bought a 75% stake in Fenix International, OnlyFans’ parent, in 2018 and served as director and majority owner, with filings showing his shares moved into the LR Fenix Trust in late 2024.
- The company had been exploring a sale of roughly 60% to Architect Capital at an implied value near $5.5 billion including debt, and the future of those early-stage talks is now unclear.
- OnlyFans reported about 4.6 million creators, around 377 million users, and roughly $1.4 billion in 2024 revenue as it takes a 20% cut, with disclosures showing record dividends that included about $701 million last year.
- Radvinsky also ran the Leo venture fund and earlier founded MyFreeCams, while coverage split between his payouts and philanthropy and separate reporting that highlighted safety investigations and trafficking claims tied to the platform.
