Leonid Radvinsky, 1982 – 2026

Leonid Radvinsky, who ran the ultra-skeevy website OnlyFans, died of cancer on March 20. He was 43. Forbes estimated that Radvinsky made $4.7 billion getting people to take their clothing off, which is more than the Minsky brothers could claim. Born in Odessa, he grew up in Chicago and started his career investing in tech companies (I would like to do that, too, but was disappointed to find that you had to have actual money to do that). In 2018, he bought a 75% stake in OnlyFans, a subscription service in which “chefs, fitness trainers, and musicians” make videos—but as Neely O’Hara would succinctly put it, “Nudies—that’s what they are, nudies!” Naturally, it made a fortune (Radvinsky earned earned more than $1.9 million a day in 2024). Radvinsky also donated much of his fortune to good causes, such as cancer research, Ukraine and Israel relief, animal-welfare, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the West Suburban Humane Society.
