        "content": "<p>The late owner of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky, received dividend\npayments totalling more than US$700 million, or approximately Rp12.5\ntrillion (at an exchange rate of US$1 = Rp17,702), before his death from\ncancer earlier this year. Radvinsky died on 23 March 2026 at the age of\n43. The Ukrainian-born entrepreneur, who was raised in the United\nStates, had controlled OnlyFans since purchasing the platform from its\nBritish founders in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The annual report of Fenix International Ltd, the British company\nthat operates OnlyFans, shows the firm recorded a pre-tax profit of\nUS$714 million, or around Rp12.64 trillion, last year. That figure\nrepresents a 5% increase compared with 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The company paid dividends of US$535 million, or around Rp8.83\ntrillion, for the financial year ending 30 November 2025. After that\nperiod and up to 26 March 2026, the company paid further dividends\ntotalling US$174 million, or around Rp2.87 trillion. Total dividend\npayments therefore reached approximately US$709 million, equivalent to\naround Rp11.7 trillion. Following Radvinsky\u2019s death, ownership of the\ncompany passed to his wife, Yekaterina \u201cKatie\u201d Chudnovsky.<\/p>\n<p>OnlyFans\u2019 profitability is striking when compared with its workforce.\nFenix International employs just 47 people. By comparison, British\nretail giant Marks &amp; Spencer, which has more than 65,000 employees,\nposted a profit of around \u00a3671 million last year.<\/p>\n<p>OnlyFans experienced a surge in popularity during the Covid-19\npandemic. That growth propelled Radvinsky into Forbes\u2019 annual\nbillionaires list just three years later. The platform offers a range of\nsubscription-based content, from cooking to fitness. However, OnlyFans\nis better known as an adult content platform and is credited with\nhelping to transform that industry by enabling direct interaction\nbetween creators and subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>Creators can engage with fans through live streams, personal messages\nand bespoke requests for specific photos and videos. OnlyFans takes a\n20% commission on every payment made by users. Throughout 2025, OnlyFans\nrecorded 132 million paying subscribers and 2.5 million active\ncreators.<\/p>\n<p>OnlyFans chief executive Keily Blair said the company has paid more\nthan US$30 billion, or around Rp495 trillion, to creators since the\nplatform launched a decade ago. \u201cOnlyFans provides real opportunity to\npeople by creating a safe, regulated space where they can monetise\ncontent to a global fanbase,\u201d Blair said. According to Blair, the\nUK-based company has also made a significant contribution to the\ncountry\u2019s economy. OnlyFans is said to have paid more than \u00a3600 million\nin corporation tax since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its growth, OnlyFans has faced regulatory scrutiny over adult\ncontent. A BBC Three documentary previously revealed allegations of\nexploitation, coercion and violence against a number of creators on the\nplatform. In 2024, the UK regulator also investigated whether children\ncould access pornographic content on OnlyFans. The company said at the\ntime that the issue related to a technical problem.<\/p>\n<p>Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, ultimately closed that\ninvestigation. However, OnlyFans was still fined around \u00a31 million for\nfailing to provide accurate information about its age verification\nmechanisms. Under the rules, OnlyFans users must be at least 18 years\nold.<\/p>",
