Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of adult‑content platform OnlyFans, has died of cancer at the age of 43. The company released a statement saying, “We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer”. They added, “His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”
He largely kept himself out of the public eye, with just one publicly known photo, despite owning one of the world’s most famous adult content platforms. In 2018, he acquired Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans, transforming the platform from a niche subscription service into a multibillion-dollar enterprise.
Under his leadership, OnlyFans revolutionised adult entertainment, allowing creators to keep 80% of revenues earned through a subscription model.
Sophie Rain, a top adult content creator on OnlyFans who earned $95m between 2023 and 2025, publicly paid tribute to Radvinsky after his death, thanking him for transforming her career and expressing gratitude for the opportunities the platform provided – despite never meeting him.
“I don’t even know how to put this into words. That man built something that changed my entire life. Like, I grew up on food stamps, and now I can take care of my whole family because of a platform he created. I will never forget that,” Rain told The Post.
