Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of the subscription-based platform OnlyFans, received a significant payout of over $700 million in dividends from the company before his death in March 2026 at the age of 43. Filings in the UK on August 25, 2026, by OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International, revealed that Radvinsky received $535 million in dividend payments during the 2025 fiscal year, which concluded in November. An additional $174 million was paid in several installments during the first three months of 2026. Since acquiring OnlyFans in 2018, Radvinsky had accumulated over $2.5 billion in dividends.

Fenix International reported a 10% increase in revenue, reaching $1.6 billion for the year ending November 2025. Operating profits also saw a rise of 6.5%, totaling $709 million. The company, known for its lean operation with only 47 employees, has been highly profitable.

OnlyFans has experienced substantial growth, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform now hosts approximately 4.63 million creators globally. The number of fan accounts worldwide has also increased, reaching 377.5 million. In 2024, fans spent $7.22 billion on OnlyFans, with creators collectively earning around $7.22 billion after the platform’s 20% fee. Since its inception in 2016, OnlyFans has paid out over $30 billion to creators.

Following Radvinsky’s death, a 16% stake in OnlyFans was sold to San Francisco-based private equity firm Architect Capital in April 2026 for $535 million, valuing the company at $3.2 billion. Some financial advisors considered this valuation to be low given the company’s profitability. The platform is primarily known for adult content, though it also hosts other creators such as musicians and athletes.
