New financial disclosures reported this week show just how much money moved through OnlyFans’ ownership structure in the months before its billionaire founder died – and they offer the clearest picture yet of who actually controls the platform now.
Leonid Radvinsky, the reclusive Ukrainian-American businessman who owned OnlyFans outright, died from cancer earlier this year at the age of 43. According to reporting from Bloomberg and Forbes this week, Radvinsky received more than $700 million in dividends from the company in the months leading up to his death.
What the new figures show
For the year ending November 2025, OnlyFans’ parent company reported revenue of $1.6 billion, up 10% on the previous year, and pre-tax profit of $715 million, up 5%. The company has paid more than £600 million (roughly $818 million) in UK corporation tax since 2016, when it first launched.
Those numbers matter because they show a business that kept growing even as its sole owner’s health was declining – and even as the company faced a steady drumbeat of lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny that NudeNewz has covered extensively this month, from the referral commission class action to the ‘full access’ bait-and-switch suit.
Who owns OnlyFans now
Control of the company has passed to a family trust overseen by Radvinsky’s widow, Katie Chudnovsky. That handover happened quietly and didn’t interrupt the deal-making that’s defined OnlyFans’ ownership story this year – including the 16% stake sale to Architect Capital in April, which valued the platform at $3.2 billion, and the ongoing speculation around a US IPO. Architect Capital founder James Sagan has said he sees no clear regulatory barrier to OnlyFans entering public markets, and that institutional investors have been more receptive than the platform’s adult-content reputation might suggest.
The $30 billion question for creators
The same reporting puts a number on something creators have felt anecdotally for years: OnlyFans says it has paid out more than $30 billion to creators since 2016, and more than 5,000 of them – 5,076, according to the company’s own figures – have individually earned over $1 million on the platform to date. Creator accounts on the platform reportedly grew 13% to 4.6 million, while fan accounts grew 24% to 377.5 million.
“OnlyFans has paid out over $30 billion to creators around the world,” CEO Keily Blair is reported to have said, a figure that’s become something of a standard line in the company’s public statements over the past year.
Why this matters if you’re on the platform
Ownership handovers at private companies don’t usually move the needle for the people actually earning money on a platform – but they’re worth watching when a company is this financially significant to its user base. A trust-controlled OnlyFans with outside investors already holding a meaningful stake looks structurally different to the founder-controlled company creators built their businesses on for the better part of a decade. Whether that changes payout terms, platform fees, or the pace of feature development remains to be seen; for now, the company’s public position is that nothing changes operationally.
