OnlyFans Owner Leonid Radvinsky Dies of Cancer at 43

LONDON/NEW YORK: Leonid Radvinsky, the owner of adult-content platform OnlyFans, has died of cancer at the age of 43, the company confirmed on Monday.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” an OnlyFans spokesperson said. “His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”

Radvinsky, a Ukrainian-American entrepreneur, acquired Fenix International Limited—the parent company of OnlyFans—in 2018 and served as its director and majority shareholder. He also ran the venture capital fund Leo, founded in 2009, focusing on investments in technology companies.

OnlyFans, launched in 2016 by British entrepreneur Tim Stokely, became a global phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic, as lockdowns drove creators and consumers online, turning the subscription-based platform into a mainstream source of income and entertainment.
