National News – Leo Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of adult-content platform OnlyFans, has died at the age of 43 after a prolonged battle with cancer, according to a statement released by the company on Monday.

The Ukrainian-born entrepreneur, who built a multibillion-dollar fortune through digital subscription platforms, reportedly passed away peacefully in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he lived with his family.

His death marks the end of a controversial yet highly successful career in the online entertainment industry.

A company spokesperson confirmed the development, saying Radvinsky died following a long illness.

“Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” the spokesperson said, adding that his family has requested privacy during the difficult period.

Radvinsky, a Ukrainian-American businessman and tech investor, was widely known for transforming OnlyFans into one of the world’s most profitable subscription-based social platforms.

He acquired the company in 2018 from the Stokely family through his firm, Fenix International Limited, which holds the majority stake in the platform.

Under his leadership, OnlyFans experienced explosive growth, particularly during the global shift toward online content creation.

The platform allows creators to earn income by sharing exclusive content with paying subscribers.

Industry reports indicate that by 2024, users had spent about $7.2 billion on the platform, making it one of the largest digital subscription marketplaces in the world.

Financial records also revealed that Radvinsky paid himself approximately $1.8 billion in dividends between 2021 and 2025.

Beyond his business success, the tech entrepreneur was also known as an angel investor and philanthropist who supported technology startups and digital innovation projects.

Despite the platform’s financial success, Radvinsky reportedly attempted to sell OnlyFans in 2025 but struggled to attract buyers.

Analysts attributed the difficulty to the site’s strong association with adult content, which limited interest from mainstream investors.

At the time of his death, Radvinsky’s net worth was estimated at about $4.7 billion, largely derived from his controlling stake in Fenix International and the continued profitability of OnlyFans.

His death raises questions about the future leadership and direction of the platform he helped turn into a global digital empire.
