The adult platform OnlyFans, created by a native of the USSR, earned up to 7,000,000,000 USD in a year 0 7

The OnlyFans platform under Leonid Radvinsky became one of the most profitable internet businesses. With a minimal staff of about 50 employees, the service generated billions of dollars in revenue annually.

According to open data, by 2024–2025, the platform's revenue exceeded 7 billion dollars a year, and the owner himself received hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends.

The growth of the service accelerated during the pandemic: thousands of people began earning online, and the audience sharply increased. OnlyFans turned into a global platform where creators directly monetize content through subscriptions.

Initially, the service was not focused on explicit content, but after a change in strategy, this segment became the key driver of growth. In 2021, OnlyFans made it to Time's list of the most influential companies in the world. In recent years, Radvinsky considered the possibility of selling a stake in the business, valued at several billion dollars.

Radvinsky was born on March 30, 1982, in Odessa. When he was still a child, his family moved to Chicago in search of a better life. In 2002, he graduated from Northwestern University in the USA with a degree in economics.

While still a student, he founded a client acquisition agency for adult websites called Cybertania. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Radvinsky developed more than a dozen websites, including Password Universe, Working Passes, and Ultra Passwords, which provided users with passwords to adult sites. This activity was entirely illegal, and Radvinsky earned income for each click on these resources.

In 2004, he founded the site MyFreeCams, which provided streaming for adults. That same year, Microsoft sued the businessman for "misleading internet users." But the case was dismissed, and Radvinsky "came out unscathed."

Radvinsky led a rather private life, but there is one interesting detail: he may have been in a relationship with singer Natasha Koroleva. The reason for such rumors was allegedly Koroleva's illegitimate daughter. The singer herself claimed that the child's father was her friend, and that the baby was carried and born by a surrogate mother. According to Koroleva, the child's father is quite wealthy and works in the IT field. The singer's admission led social media users to actively discuss who the real father of Koroleva's daughter is. Most often, the choice fell on Leonid Radvinsky, who, according to Koroleva's descriptions, perfectly fits this role. However, it is impossible to determine exactly whether there was a connection between Radvinsky and Koroleva.
