Leo Radvinsky, the sole owner of OnlyFans who bought the then-obscure British video platform in 2018 and built it into an adult content subscription service with 377 million users and $7.2B in annual revenue, died after a long battle with cancer. Radvinsky had been seeking to sell the company, with talks underway to sell a 60% stake to investment firm Architect Capital at a valuation of around $3.5B, according to the Wall Street Journal. He transferred his shares to a foundation in late 2024, leaving the platform's ownership and sale process in an unclear state following his death.
