Leonid “Leo” Radvinsky, the owner and CEO of the porn-friendly platform, OnlyFans, has passed away at 43 after a long battle with cancer. The billionaire entrepreneur helped turn the company into one of the most profitable subscription-focused digital media platforms to date. While often steeped in controversy for its promotion of adult content, OnlyFans has created a narrative shift on how sexual content is produced, consumed, and monetized.
The company confirmed his passing on Monday (Mar.23) in a statement to Variety. “We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky,” a company spokesperson tells the outlet. “Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.” In 2018, Radvinsky acquired Fenix International Limited, the company that owns and operates OnlyFans, becoming its director and majority shareholder.
