Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire behind OnlyFans, has passed away at 43 after battling cancer, the company confirmed.
In a statement, a spokesperson expressed deep sorrow, noting that Radvinsky “died peacefully following a long fight with cancer.” His family has asked for privacy during this time, as tributes pour in for the entrepreneur who reshaped the online content industry.
Born in Odesa, Ukraine, and raised in Chicago, Radvinsky carved out a career in technology before moving into adult entertainment. He launched the webcam site MyFreeCams in 2004 and later acquired OnlyFans’ parent company in 2018, becoming its majority owner and director.
Under his leadership, OnlyFans grew into one of the world’s most profitable subscription platforms, enabling creators to earn directly from their audiences. While the site became synonymous with adult content, it also expanded into mainstream creative fields.
Known for keeping a low public profile, Radvinsky was also active in philanthropy, supporting cancer research and humanitarian causes.
