Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of OnlyFans and its parent company Fenix International, has died at the age of 43 after a long battle with cancer. OnlyFans confirmed his passing, stating his family has requested privacy. Radvinsky acquired a majority stake in OnlyFans in 2018 from its founders, OnlyFans and Tim Stokely, and is credited with transforming it into a highly profitable platform, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. His net worth was estimated at $4.7 billion to $7.8 billion at the time of his death. Before his passing, Radvinsky had reportedly been in early talks to sell a 60% stake in OnlyFans, with Architect Capital exploring an offer. He had also moved his ownership stake into a trust in 2024, leaving questions about the platform's future leadership and ownership. Radvinsky was known for his reclusive nature and philanthropic efforts, supporting organizations like the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the West Suburban Humane Society. He is survived by his wife, Leonid Radvinsky, and their four children.
