Leonid Radvinsky, the late owner of adult content platform OnlyFans, received over $700 million (£513 million) in dividends before his death due to cancer. Fenix International Ltd, the British company that owns OnlyFans, reported a profit of $714 million before tax last year, marking a 5% increase from 2024. OnlyFans is renowned for its subscription-based content, predominantly adult, and its transformation of the online adult content industry by fostering personal connections between sex workers and subscribers.
Radvinsky acquired OnlyFans from its British founders in 2018. Despite working with only 47 employees, the company earned a substantial $535 million in dividends for the year ending November 2025, followed by $174 million in payouts between then and March 2026. Upon Radvinsky's passing on March 23rd, his widow, Yekaterina 'Katie' Chudnovsky, became the new owner of OnlyFans.
The platform experienced significant growth during the Covid-19 pandemic, gaining a billionaire status on Forbes' list in just three years. OnlyFans currently hosts 132 million paying subscribers and 2.5 million active creators, generating significant revenue and contributing over £600 million in corporate taxes to the UK economy since its launch a decade ago.
However, the platform has faced scrutiny from regulators due to allegations of exploitation, coercion, and violence against its creators. OnlyFans attributes its success to a safe, regulated space that enables content creators to monetize their offerings globally.
