Leo Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of adult subscription platform OnlyFans, has died at the age of 43 following a long battle with cancer. His death was confirmed on Monday through a company spokesperson, who said the organisation was deeply saddened by the loss.
“Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” the spokesperson said, adding that his family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
Radvinsky was a Ukrainian-born entrepreneur who amassed billions through online ventures, reportedly earning up to $1.8 million per day from OnlyFans and related businesses. An online obituary indicated that he died in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he lived with his family.
At the time of his death, the Ukrainian-American businessman had an estimated net worth of $4.7 billion. Much of his wealth came from Fenix International Limited, the parent company that holds a majority stake in OnlyFans, where he served as director and principal shareholder. He was also known in the tech community as a philanthropist and angel investor.
Radvinsky acquired OnlyFans in 2018 from the Stokely family in the United Kingdom, a move that transformed the platform into one of the world’s most profitable subscription-based content services. Under his leadership, the site experienced rapid expansion, driven largely by its adult content model.
By 2024, users had spent a record $7.2 billion on the platform. Financial reports also indicated that Radvinsky paid himself approximately $1.8 billion in dividends between 2021 and 2025, reflecting the company’s extraordinary profitability.
Despite its success, reports suggested he attempted to sell the platform last year but struggled to secure a buyer, with analysts pointing to the challenges associated with its adult-content reputation.
Radvinsky’s death marks the passing of one of the most influential figures in the modern creator economy, as the platform he helped scale continues to reshape how digital content is monetised worldwide.
