OnlyFans, the adult content platform, has become a lucrative business, making its owner, Leonid Radvinsky, a billionaire. The platform's success, fueled by user-generated pornography, has resulted in significant profits and wealth distribution among creators, staff, and the owner.
OnlyFans, a platform known for its adult content , has become a surprising success story, generating immense wealth for its secretive owner. American-Ukrainian businessman Leonid Radvinsky acquired the company in 2018 from its British founders for an undisclosed sum. While the platform hosts a variety of content, it's widely recognized that its rapid growth is largely attributed to user-generated pornography.
OnlyFans operates on a subscription model, where 'creators' can post videos and photos behind a paywall accessible to 'fans' or subscribers for a monthly fee. Creators also earn income through tips and 'pay-per-view' content. The platform has experienced explosive growth, with payments facilitated soaring from €286 million in 2019 to €6.4 billion in 2023. OnlyFans takes a 20 percent cut, resulting in over €1.2 billion in profits for 2023 alone.Radvinsky, as the owner of Fenix International, the company that owns OnlyFans, has been the primary beneficiary of this success. He has received over €1.2 billion in dividends in less than five years. In 2023, he was earning more than €1.2 million per day from his investment. The platform's profitability extends beyond Radvinsky, with staff salaries increasing significantly. In 2019, the average earnings for 11 staff members, including directors, was €121,300. By 2023, 42 staff members, including two directors, were earning an average of €579,000 per year. While some creators reportedly earn millions of pounds annually, the average annual earnings for an OnlyFans creator before fees and taxes was €1,550, according to the company's own data. Despite the impressive growth, OnlyFans's user accounts may have peaked. New 'creator' account approvals, which reached around 400,000 per month in early 2023, have declined by about 55 percent to around 180,000 per month. The platform's content, however, continues to expand, with over 300 million individual pieces created in the last six months alone.Monitoring the platform's vast library of content remains a challenge. Each creator account is hidden behind a paywall, with subscription rates typically ranging from €6 to €36 per month. OnlyFans publishes monthly 'transparency reports' revealing that the number of accounts deactivated for violating site rules doubled in 2024 compared to 2023. Concurrently, the amount of content removed for the same reason nearly halved during the same period
