Who owns OnlyFans today
OnlyFans is run by Fenix International Limited, a private company registered in the United Kingdom. From 2018 until his death, its majority owner was the Ukrainian-American entrepreneur Leonid Radvinsky. He died of cancer in March 2026, aged 43. According to reporting on the company’s later deal, control of Fenix now sits with a family trust led by his widow, Katie Chudnovsky.
In May 2026 Fenix sold a 16% stake to Architect Capital for about $535 million — its first significant outside investor. The investment was made through a special-purpose vehicle whose backers reportedly include Australian billionaire James Packer and Sam Lessin of Slow Ventures. The deal left control with the family trust.
The founder: Tim Stokely
OnlyFans was launched in London in 2016 by Tim Stokely, reportedly with an initial loan from his father, Guy Stokely. It started as a general subscription site for creators before adult creators made it famous. Stokely sold the majority of the business to Radvinsky in 2018 and stepped down as CEO in 2021. He is no longer involved in running it.
Leonid Radvinsky (1982–2026)
Radvinsky, who earlier founded the webcam site MyFreeCams, acquired about 75% of Fenix International in 2018 and became its controlling shareholder. Under his ownership OnlyFans grew from about 350,000 creators in 2019 to around 5 million, and from roughly $59 million in revenue to more than $1.4 billion a year. He kept an extremely low public profile. Fenix’s accounts show he received very large dividends — $535 million for the year to November 2025 alone — and Forbes estimated his net worth at about $4.7 billion when he died.
Who runs OnlyFans day to day
Keily Blair has been CEO since July 2023, succeeding Ami Gan; she had previously held a senior strategy and operations role at the company. Fenix is famously lean: it reported just 47 employees for FY2025, supported by contractors for content moderation and operations.

Does the ownership change affect creators or fans?
So far, no announced changes to the core model: the 80/20 split, pricing limits and payout rules are the same. Ownership matters mostly for the platform’s long-term strategy — for example how it deals with payment processors and regulators.
