There’s now a woman at the helm of OnlyFans. Yekaterina Chudnovsky, wife of the late Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire who died at the age of 43 due to terminal cancer, is now officially the new owner of the adult content platform, which has become a global giant in recent years. Radvinsky’s entrepreneurial legacy went to his wife, and according to an official British government document, the 42-year-old took control of the platform’s parent company, Fenix International, and one of the most profitable digital assets in the world.
Who is Yekaterina Chudnovsky
Yekaterina Chudnovsky, an entrepreneur already known in the business world, had until now preferred to remain behind the scenes of OnlyFans. A graduate of Northwestern and DePaul University, she currently holds the role of corporate lawyer in a private tech company. His experience also extends to the healthcare and scientific sectors: he sits on the boards of directors of Elicio Therapeutics and Immix Biopharma, as well as consulting for the Rare Cancer Research Foundation.
Fenix’s control
Now the widow controls 75% of the shares and voting rights of Fenix International and also has the right to appoint and dismiss the majority of the company’s board of directors. An absolute dominion over an economic empire that last year alone generated revenues of around 1.5 billion dollars and profits in excess of 700 million. In 2024, the platform, which takes a 20% commission on creators’ earnings, recorded gross transactions of $7.2 billion, with a base of 4.6 million active accounts.
Radvinsky’s legacy
Radvinsky’s rise began in 2018, when he acquired 75% of Fenix from founders Tim and Guy Stokely for around $30 million. Its decision to focus heavily on adult content proved successful, particularly during the pandemic period, driving exponential growth in subscribers and creators. The results of this strategy are evident: in just four years, the dividends collected by the entrepreneur approached the record figure of 1.8 billion dollars. According to Forbes estimates, Radvinsky’s assets at the time of his death were around $4.7 billion and were tied almost entirely to Fenix.
