OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has died at the age of 43 after a long battle with cancer, the company announced.<\/p>\n
The billionaire Ukrainian-American entrepreneur bought Fenix International Limited \u2013 the company that owns the adult content site \u2013 in 2018 and has been a director and majority shareholder since then.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for OnlyFans said: \u201cWe are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis family have requested privacy at this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Radvinsky\u2019s deal to buy OnlyFans followed just two years after the site was launched by British father and son Guy and Tim Stokely.<\/p>\n
The firm behind OnlyFans, which is based in the UK, has paid out eye-watering dividends to Radvinsky since he acquired the company, with a record 701 million dollars (\u20ac603.7 million) paid out in 2024 as the streaming site saw user numbers jump by almost a quarter to 377.5 million globally.<\/p>\n
The company is headquartered and pays tax in the UK, but makes the majority of its money in the US.<\/p>\n
Radvinsky had reportedly been in talks to sell a majority stake in the site, with discussions recently believed to have been held with investment firm Architect Capital in a deal that values the service at around 5.5 billion dollars (\u20ac4.7 billion), including debt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has died at the age of 43 after a long battle with cancer, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-361698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
