Leonid Radvinsky (born May 1982[1][2]) is a Chicago-based[3] Ukrainian-American[4] businessman, pornographer and computer programmer. He is the founder of the porn site MyFreeCams[5], and the majority owner of content subscription service OnlyFans.

Radvinsky operates a Florida-based venture capital fund called Leo.com, founded in 2009[6], which invests mainly in tech companies.[7] Notable investments include Israel-based Anywhere Software. Radvinsky is also a supporter of the Elixier programming language.[4]

Timeline

  • In 2004, Microsoft sued Radvinsky for allegedly sending millions of deceptive emails to Hotmail users, but the case was eventually dismissed.[3]
  • In 2018, he bought a 75% stake in OnlyFans' parent company Fenix International Ltd from its British founder Tim Stokely.[5][8] After this, OnlyFans became increasingly focused on not safe for work (NSFW) content and "gained a pop culture reputation for being a hive of pornography".[8]
  • In August 2020, Forensic News described him as a "porn entrepreneur ... with a history of lawsuits and allegations of spam, theft, fraud, and drug dealing."[2]
  • In May 2021, The Guardian described Radvinsky as a "US-based online pornography veteran who largely chooses to avoid the media."[9]
