OnlyFans Owner Received Rp12.5 Trillion Before Passing Away

The late owner of OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky, received dividend payments totalling more than US$700 million, or approximately Rp12.5 trillion (at an exchange rate of US$1 = Rp17,702), before his death from cancer earlier this year. Radvinsky died on 23 March 2026 at the age of 43. The Ukrainian-born entrepreneur, who was raised in the United States, had controlled OnlyFans since purchasing the platform from its British founders in 2018.

The annual report of Fenix International Ltd, the British company that operates OnlyFans, shows the firm recorded a pre-tax profit of US$714 million, or around Rp12.64 trillion, last year. That figure represents a 5% increase compared with 2024.

The company paid dividends of US$535 million, or around Rp8.83 trillion, for the financial year ending 30 November 2025. After that period and up to 26 March 2026, the company paid further dividends totalling US$174 million, or around Rp2.87 trillion. Total dividend payments therefore reached approximately US$709 million, equivalent to around Rp11.7 trillion. Following Radvinsky’s death, ownership of the company passed to his wife, Yekaterina “Katie” Chudnovsky.

OnlyFans’ profitability is striking when compared with its workforce. Fenix International employs just 47 people. By comparison, British retail giant Marks & Spencer, which has more than 65,000 employees, posted a profit of around £671 million last year.

OnlyFans experienced a surge in popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic. That growth propelled Radvinsky into Forbes’ annual billionaires list just three years later. The platform offers a range of subscription-based content, from cooking to fitness. However, OnlyFans is better known as an adult content platform and is credited with helping to transform that industry by enabling direct interaction between creators and subscribers.

Creators can engage with fans through live streams, personal messages and bespoke requests for specific photos and videos. OnlyFans takes a 20% commission on every payment made by users. Throughout 2025, OnlyFans recorded 132 million paying subscribers and 2.5 million active creators.

OnlyFans chief executive Keily Blair said the company has paid more than US$30 billion, or around Rp495 trillion, to creators since the platform launched a decade ago. “OnlyFans provides real opportunity to people by creating a safe, regulated space where they can monetise content to a global fanbase,” Blair said. According to Blair, the UK-based company has also made a significant contribution to the country’s economy. OnlyFans is said to have paid more than £600 million in corporation tax since 2016.

Despite its growth, OnlyFans has faced regulatory scrutiny over adult content. A BBC Three documentary previously revealed allegations of exploitation, coercion and violence against a number of creators on the platform. In 2024, the UK regulator also investigated whether children could access pornographic content on OnlyFans. The company said at the time that the issue related to a technical problem.

Ofcom, the UK communications regulator, ultimately closed that investigation. However, OnlyFans was still fined around £1 million for failing to provide accurate information about its age verification mechanisms. Under the rules, OnlyFans users must be at least 18 years old.
