Specifically:
- $535 million for the fiscal year ended 30 November 2025.
- An additional $174 million in further tranches between then and late March 2026.
He died of cancer on or around 20–23 March 2026 at age 43 (reports vary slightly on the exact date; the company announced it publicly on 23 March, describing a long battle kept largely private). The company is now controlled by his widow, Yekaterina “Katie” Chudnovsky (via a trust he established), and a minority stake (around 16%) was sold shortly after his death to Architect Capital in a deal valuing the business at roughly $3.1–3.15 billion.
Business context and scale
Fenix International (UK-based) reported strong results for the relevant period: revenue of about $1.55 billion (up ~10%), with pre-tax or operating profits in the $700+ million range (figures vary slightly by source between ~$709–714 million). The platform takes a 20% cut of creator earnings while creators keep 80%. It employed only around 47 people directly in the latest year (plus roughly 1,500 content moderators), highlighting an extremely high-profit, low-headcount model compared with traditional large retailers or tech firms.
Radvinsky had already extracted substantial prior dividends—cumulative figures commonly cited as more than $1.8–2.5 billion since around 2021 (with annual payouts rising from hundreds of millions earlier to the $700 million range in recent years). OnlyFans grew dramatically under his ownership after the 2018 acquisition from its British founders (Tim and Guy Stokely), especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving into a major adult-content subscription platform with hundreds of millions of users/subscribers and millions of creators over time. Gross transactions on the platform have been reported in the multi-billion-dollar range annually in prior years.
Broader picture and nuances
- Ownership and succession: Shares were held in a trust (LR Fenix Trust). Future dividends are expected to flow to the trust (managed by his widow) and the minority investor. There had been earlier reports of potential sale talks at higher valuations (sometimes cited around $5–8 billion), but the post-death minority deal came in lower.
- Background: Radvinsky, born in Odesa (then Ukrainian SSR) and raised in the US (Chicago area), studied economics at Northwestern University. He had earlier involvement in adult/cam sites (including MyFreeCams via a holding company). He was notably private, rarely photographed or interviewed publicly. Forbes estimated his net worth in the $4–4.7 billion range near the time of his death (primarily from the OnlyFans stake), though earlier estimates fluctuated with dividend extractions and valuation discussions.
- Philanthropy and other notes: He and his wife supported causes including cancer research (e.g., related to Memorial Sloan Kettering and a gastrointestinal research foundation grant), Ukraine relief, animal welfare, and other efforts. His death at a relatively young age after a private cancer battle drew attention precisely because of the platform’s cultural prominence and the scale of the cash extractions revealed in the UK filings.
- Criticisms and model: OnlyFans has faced ongoing scrutiny over content moderation, exploitation allegations, and its adult focus (including documentaries and regulatory attention), even as it is credited with giving creators more direct monetization control than traditional adult-industry intermediaries. The lean staffing relative to profits underscores the platform’s asset-light, high-margin digital model.
The numbers come from Fenix International’s UK company accounts/annual report released around the time of the August 2026 coverage. Exact figures can vary slightly by source depending on rounding, fiscal vs. calendar periods, or inclusion of specific tranches, but the “more than $700 million / ~£513 million” framing aligns closely with the contemporaneous reporting. The company has continued operating under the new ownership structure.
