OnlyFans is owned by Fenix International Limited, a UK-registered company. But the ownership story has changed significantly since the platform launched — from founder Tim Stokely to its current majority owner Leonid Radvinsky. Here's the complete ownership history.
Who Founded OnlyFans?
OnlyFans was founded by **Tim Stokely** in 2016. He launched the platform in London as a subscription-based content platform — initially focused on adult content but positioned as a creator economy tool.
Tim Stokely's father, **Guy Stokely**, helped provide early funding for the platform. The family was involved in the early development and growth of the business.
Tim Stokely remained CEO until June 2021 when he stepped down. He was succeeded by **Ami Gan**, who became OnlyFans' first female CEO.
Leonid Radvinsky — Current Majority Owner
**Leonid Radvinsky** is the majority owner of OnlyFans as of 2020. He acquired an 80% stake in Fenix International Limited (OnlyFans' parent company) in 2018.
Key facts about Radvinsky: - Ukrainian-American entrepreneur based in Chicago - Previously owned and operated adult content platforms before OnlyFans - His exact share percentage of Fenix International has been reported as approximately 75-80% - Has maintained a low public profile despite owning the world's most talked-about creator platform - Received hundreds of millions in dividends as OnlyFans grew from 2020-2022
Radvinsky's acquisition was first reported by BuzzFeed News in 2020, revealing that most of the platform's explosive growth-era profits flowed to him through dividends.
The August 2021 Controversy
In August 2021, OnlyFans announced it would ban sexually explicit content, citing pressure from banks and payment processors. This announcement:
- Sent creators and fans to competing platforms (primarily Fansly) - Created massive media coverage and public backlash - Was reversed within a week — OnlyFans stated it had "secured assurances" from banking partners
The controversy highlighted the precarious relationship between OnlyFans, financial institutions, and the adult content industry. It also revealed the enormous financial leverage creators had over the platform — the threat of mass creator migration forced the reversal.
OnlyFans CEO in 2026
The current CEO of OnlyFans (as of 2026) is **Keily Blair**, who took over from Ami Gan. Blair has focused on:
- Expanding OnlyFans' brand beyond adult content - Growing the OFTV (SFW video content) platform - Improving creator tools and payout systems - Managing regulatory relationships in the UK and internationally
**Fenix International Limited** — the UK company that operates OnlyFans — filed accounts showing revenues in the billions as of 2022-2023.
OnlyFans Company Structure
| Entity | Role | |--------|------| | **Fenix International Limited** | UK parent company, operates OnlyFans | | **Leonid Radvinsky** | ~75-80% majority shareholder | | **Tim Stokely** | Founder; sold majority stake | | **Keily Blair** | CEO (2026) | | **Ami Gan** | Former CEO (2021-2023) |
OnlyFans processes payments through **Fenix Internet LLC** — which is why "FENIX INTERNET LLC" appears on subscriber bank statements rather than "OnlyFans."
