“His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”
Radvinsky, a Ukrainian-American entrepreneur, was known for keeping a low public profile despite his status as a billionaire. His illness had not been publicly disclosed before his death.
He acquired Fenix International in 2018 from its founder, Tim Stokely, and went on to transform OnlyFans into one of the world’s most prominent content subscription platforms. He remained a director and majority shareholder of the company until his passing.
OnlyFans saw massive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic as millions of people around the world turned to online platforms for income and entertainment. The platform operates by taking a 20 per cent commission on most subscriptions and content sales.
Despite his private nature, Radvinsky was also known for his philanthropy. In 2024, he and his wife supported a $23 million cancer research grant program through a gastrointestinal research foundation, according to reports.
His death has raised questions about the future ownership of OnlyFans. Reports indicate that his shares in Fenix International have been held in the LR Fenix Trust since 2024. According to Forbes estimates, Radvinsky had a net worth of about $4.7 billion.
Earlier this year, reports suggested that OnlyFans had been exploring the sale of a majority stake to investment firm Architect Capital in a deal that could value the company at around $5.5 billion, including debt.
Beyond OnlyFans, Radvinsky also founded a venture capital firm, Leo, in 2009, focusing on investments in technology companies.
Further details about succession plans or ownership of the platform have not yet been made public.
