Radvinsky had owned a majority stake in OnlyFans since 2018. He was recently in talks to sell the adult-content company that grew astronomically during the pandemic, Bloomberg reported. Had the deal gone through, it would've valued OnlyFans at $5.5 billion.

Since 2021, Radvinsky had cashed $1.8 billion in dividends from the company, and Bloomberg valued his net worth at $3.8 billion.

In 2024, Radvinsky moved his shares of Fenix International Limited, which owns OnlyFans, into a trust, the company said.

Radvinsky was born in Ukraine, but grew up in Chicago, graduating from Northwestern University. An OnlyFans spokesperson said Radvinsky, who was known for being media shy, was also an angel investor in many companies.
