OnlyFans Owner Leonid Radvinsky Is Dead at Age 43 After ‘Long’ Cancer Battle

OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has died at age 43 following a cancer battle.

“We are deeply saddened ​to announce the death of Leo ​Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a ⁠long battle with cancer,” an OnlyFans ​spokesperson announced in a statement on Monday, March 23. “His family have requested privacy at ​this difficult time.”

Radvinsky is survived by his wife, Katie Chudnovsky, and their four children.

The late entrepreneur acquired Fenix International Limited, the parent company of OnlyFans, in 2018. Radvinsky also ran Leo, a venture capital fund founded in ‌2009 ⁠with a focus on investments in technology companies.

Originally founded in 2016 by British entrepreneur Tim Stokely, OnlyFans surged in popularity during the COVID pandemic. Radvinsky served as its director and majority shareholder after buying it from Stokely in 2018. It was reported in January that the company was exploring the sale of a majority stake to investment firm ⁠Architect ​Capital in a deal ​valuing the company at about $5.5 billion — including debt.

While Radvinsky kept himself largely out of the public eye, he previously described himself via LinkedIn as a venture capital investor, philanthropist and technology entrepreneur with “a special interest in emerging social media platforms.”

On his own website, Radvinsky said he spent the last two decades “building software companies and contributing to the open source movement.” Radvinsky, who was born in Ukraine, noted his plans to donate “a huge amount of time, effort and money to nonprofit causes,” including charities and technological endeavors.

Radvinsky previously donated to the relief effort in Ukraine using cryptocurrency in 2022, with his donation coming out to more than $1.3 million.

Outside of his business, Radvinsky referred to himself as “an avid reader who’s always ready for a chess match and is an aspiring helicopter pilot.” He lived with his family in Florida before his death.
