OnlyFans paid owner $901 million over months prior to his death
OnlyFans reported US$1.55 billion (S$1.97 billion) in revenue for the 12 months to Nov 30, 2025.
OnlyFans, a platform renowned for adult content, made a substantial payment of $901 million (S$709 million) in dividends to its billionaire owner, Leonid Radvinsky, over a span of several months prior to his demise in March. Radvinsky passed away in March due to cancer. The company disclosed in their British accounts, published on August 25, that Radvinsky received $535 million in dividends during the fiscal year ending in November, followed by an additional $174 million in installments through the first three months of 2026.
Despite the hefty dividend payouts, OnlyFans' director is not advocating for further dividend payments. The company reported a revenue of $1.55 billion for the 12 months ending in November 2025, marking a 10% increase compared to the previous year. Radvinsky's platform saw a surge in the number of creators, reaching five million, and fan accounts skyrocketed to 437 million.
Following Radvinsky's death, OnlyFans made a strategic move by agreeing to sell a minority stake to Architect Capital in a deal valued at approximately $3.15 billion. Architect Capital acquired a 16% stake, signaling their intent to collaborate with the company. They aimed to introduce new financial services and products tailored for OnlyFans' creators.
