UPDATED 3/23/26 6:15 PM EST: After news broke of the death of 43-year-old OnlyFans owner Leo Radvinsky, Sophie Rain mourned the loss, saying he “changed her entire life.”
“I don’t even know how to put this into words. That man built something that changed my entire life. Like, I grew up on food stamps and now I can take care of my whole family because of a platform he created. I will never forget that,” she told The New York Post on Monday.
She added: “Before OnlyFans I was waitressing and barely making rent. That platform gave me everything. And that doesn’t happen without someone building it in the first place.”
Between between 2023 and 2025, the OnlyFans star earned a reported $95 million from the platform.

Leo Radvinsky, the majority owner of OnlyFans, is dead. He was 43.
Following initial reports, a spokesperson for OnlyFans confirmed Radvinsky’s death in a statement shared with Complex on Monday (March 23).
“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky,” the spokesperson said in an email. “Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”
Known for his work as an angel investor in multiple companies and as a philanthropist, Radvinsky was born in Ukraine but grew up in the Chicago area. He gradated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, later acquiring Fenix International Limited, the parent company of OnlyFans.
Radvinsky, based in the Miami area, was also the founder of another leader in the adult content space, MyFreeCams. According to Forbes, his successes ultimately led to him growing his net worth to nearly $5 billion.
Gross revenue on the OnlyFans platform—which has served as both a launchpad for new stars, as well as an extension of established stars’ reach—has also been in the billions for some time now.
The platform has proven to be an undeniable success since first being founded by Tim Stokely nearly a decade ago. In 2024, for example, OnlyFans was reported to have seen its gross revenue topping $7 billion for the year.
Radvinsky does not appear to have given any major interviews about his business successes, which also included the launch of a foundation focused on providing financial support to “open source projects that sit at the intersection of technology and philanthropy.”
RIP.
