The reportedly reclusive billionaire who acquired adult content platform OnlyFans and transformed it into a multibillion-dollar empire, has died of cancer aged 43, the company announced Monday.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” an OnlyFans spokesman said.
“His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”
Radvinsky had been private about having cancer in recent times, but in 2024, he and his wife were both major public supporters of a $US23 million grant program for cancer research.
The billionaire was generous in other ways; for example, he donated $US5 million to Ukraine relief in 2022.
OnlyFans owner Leo Radvinsky dies
Leonid Radvinsky was a Ukrainian-born American businessman and computer programmer based in Florida.
Earlier in his career – in 2004 – Radvinsky founded the camera site MyFreeCams, developed various other tech websites, and in 2018 became the majority owner of adult content subscription service OnlyFans.
Radvinsky guided the company to focus on being a platform for pornography creators, with OnlyFans taking a 20 per cent cut of any profits made.
Last year, the site generated $10.27 billion from users who pay subscriptions to the content creators, as well as offer tips and payment for special requests.
Forbes reports that the tech entrepreneur had an estimated net worth of $4.7 billion (US) at the time of his death.
