OnlyFans owner was paid over $700m before his death

The late owner of streaming platform OnlyFans was paid more than $700m (£513m) in dividends before his death from cancer earlier this year.

Fenix International Ltd, the British company that owns OnlyFans, made $714m in profit before tax last year, it said in its annual report. This is an increase of 5% from 2024.

The site hosts a range of subscription-based content from cooking to fitness videos, but it is best known for pornography and is credited with transforming online adult content by encouraging personal connection between sex workers and subscribers.

Its owner Leonid Radvinsky, who died earlier this year aged 43 , bought the site from its British founders in 2018.

OnlyFans employs just 47 people. Companies with such high profits rarely have such small staff - for example, British retail giant Marks and Spencer, which employs over 65,000 people, made £671m in profit last year.

Fenix International's company results show that it paid dividends of $535m for the year ending 30 November 2025, with further dividends payments totalling $174m between then and 26 March 2026.

Radvinsky, who was born in Ukraine and raised in the US, died on 23 March. The company is now owned by his widow, Yekaterina 'Katie' Chudnovsky.

OnlyFans surged in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic, landing Radvinsky on Forbes' annual list of billionaires just three years later.
