Reports in the UK reveal that Leonid Radvinsky received a total of more than $2 billion from the platform, which reported revenue of $1.55 billion for the year, an increase of 10% compared to the previous year. The number of creators on the platform rose to 5 million, half of whom are active. The number of fan accounts rose to 437 million, and about 132 million of them are considered active.
The adult content platform OnlyFans paid its billionaire owner, Leonid Radvinsky, dividends totaling $709 million in the months before his death last March, according to the company's reports in the UK published today, Tuesday.
Radvinsky received $535 million in the fiscal year that ended in November and another $174 million in payments during the first three months of 2026. According to the reports, the board of directors does not recommend any further dividend distribution. In total, Radvinsky received more than $2 billion from the platform.
OnlyFans, operated by the British company Fenix International Ltd., became a cultural phenomenon after it allowed creators to charge money directly from users for their content. Its popularity surged during the COVID-19 period, when adult film actors and sex workers moved to it as an alternative source of income.
The company reported revenue of $1.55 billion in the 12 months that ended on November 30, 2025, an increase of 10% compared to the previous year. The number of creators on the platform rose to 5 million, half of whom are active. The number of fan accounts rose to 437 million, and about 132 million of them are considered active.
A few weeks after Radvinsky's death, OnlyFans agreed to sell a minority stake to the investment firm Architect Capital from San Francisco, in a deal that valued the company at about $3.15 billion. Architect acquired 16% of the shares and said it would work with the company on developing new financial services and products for the platform's creators.
Radvinsky was born in Odessa, Ukraine, and his family moved to Chicago when he was a child. Before his death, he lived in Florida, according to his website. Radvinsky donated to charities including the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, open-source initiatives, and the West Suburban Humane Society. OnlyFans stated that Radvinsky transferred his ownership to a trust in 2024.
OnlyFans was founded in 2016 by British father and son Guy and Tim Stokely. Radvinsky acquired the majority of the shares in 2018. Since then, the platform has expanded its types of content to include music, cooking, and sports, but it is still identified primarily with sexual content.
