Who owns OnlyFans — the short answer
- OnlyFans is operated by Fenix International Limited, a private company registered in London (Companies House no. 10354575). It has never been publicly traded.
- Since 20 March 2026, control sits with a family trust led by Yekaterina "Katie" Chudnovsky — 75%+ of shares, 75%+ of voting rights, and the right to appoint or remove directors (PSC01 filed 7 May 2026).
- Chudnovsky is the widow of Leonid Radvinsky, who owned Fenix from October 2018 until his death on 20 March 2026, aged 43.
- Architect Capital holds a 16% minority stake, bought for $535M (announced 8 May 2026, implied valuation ≈$3.15B). Control stays with the trust.
The ownership timeline
OnlyFans has had three owners in ten years — a founder, a financier, and now a family trust — plus two heavily reported sale processes that never produced a transaction. The dates below are anchored to the public register wherever a filing exists.
| Date | Event | Ownership effect |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Tim Stokely launches OnlyFans in London | Founder-owned |
| Oct 2018 | Leonid Radvinsky acquires a majority via Fenix International | Radvinsky registered as person with significant control, 3 Oct 2018 |
| Dec 2021 | Stokely steps down as CEO; Ami Gan takes over | Ownership unchanged |
| 2023 | Keily Blair becomes CEO | Ownership unchanged |
| 2025 | Forest Road-led sale talks, reported around $8B | Never closed |
| Jan 2026 | Reported exclusivity over a 60% stake (~$5.5B, TechCrunch) | Never closed |
| 20 Mar 2026 | Leonid Radvinsky dies, aged 43 | Control passes to a family trust led by his widow, Yekaterina Chudnovsky |
| 8 May 2026 | Architect Capital buys 16% for $535M | Minority stake; trust retains control (≈$3.15B implied valuation) |
One number worth killing before it spreads: the $8 billion price tag was never a closed deal. Both the 2025 Forest Road-led talks and the January 2026 exclusivity over a 60% stake (reported at roughly $5.5B by TechCrunch) ended without a transaction. The only completed, priced deal on record is the Architect Capital minority purchase of May 2026.
What Companies House shows
Fenix International says little voluntarily, but as a UK-registered company it must file ownership and board changes on the public register. The 2026 transition is fully documented there — company no. 10354575, fiscal year ending 30 November:
| Filing | What it records | Effective | On the register |
|---|---|---|---|
| TM01 | Leonid Radvinsky resigns as director | 20 Mar 2026 | 24 Mar 2026 |
| PSC07 | Radvinsky ceases to be a person with significant control | 20 Mar 2026 | – |
| PSC01 | Yekaterina Chudnovsky notified as PSC: 75%+ shares, 75%+ voting rights, right to appoint/remove directors | 20 Mar 2026 | 7 May 2026 |
| AP01 ×3 | Directors appointed: Yekaterina Chudnovsky, Keily Helen Blair, James Stuart Sagan | 8 May 2026 | 20 May 2026 |
The current board is Yekaterina Chudnovsky, Keily Helen Blair (CEO since 2023) and James Stuart Sagan — all appointed 8 May 2026 — plus Lee David Taylor, a director since 17 December 2021. The company secretary is OHS Secretaries Limited (since 17 April 2023). The next hard disclosure is the audited FY2025 accounts, due at Companies House by 31 August 2026 — the first annual report of the Chudnovsky era.
Who is Yekaterina Chudnovsky?
The public record is short, and we keep to it. Yekaterina "Katie" Chudnovsky is the widow of Leonid Radvinsky. She is an American citizen resident in the United States. Companies House registers her as the person with significant control of Fenix International since 20 March 2026 — leading a family trust that holds more than 75% of shares and voting rights with the right to appoint or remove directors — and as a director of the company since 8 May 2026. Radvinsky's death (20 March 2026, aged 43, of cancer, announced 23 March 2026) is what moved control to the trust. Beyond those filings, little about her is verifiably public, and this page does not speculate.
How much is OnlyFans worth?
The only completed, priced transaction on record is Architect Capital's purchase of 16% for $535 million, announced 8 May 2026 — an implied valuation of roughly $3.15 billion. The stake was bought through a special-purpose vehicle backed by investors including James Packer and Sam Lessin; it changes nothing about control, which remains with the Chudnovsky family trust.
Two caveats before quoting that number. First, it is an implied equity valuation from a minority deal — not enterprise value, and not what a controlling stake would necessarily fetch. Second, the gap to earlier headlines is real: the ~$8B talks of 2025 never closed at any price. For scale, the business behind the number generated $7.22B in gross fan payments and $684M in pre-tax profit in FY2024 (audited), and press reports put FY2025 at $666M operating profit on $1.4B net revenue (NY Post, 8 May 2026) — audited confirmation is due by 31 August 2026.

FAQ

Is OnlyFans publicly traded?
No. Fenix International Limited is a private UK company (Companies House no. 10354575) — there is no stock ticker and no way to buy OnlyFans shares on an exchange. Its financials become public once a year via audited accounts filed at Companies House.
How much is OnlyFans worth?
Roughly $3.15B implied by the May 2026 Architect Capital deal ($535M for 16%). The ~$8B Forest Road-led talks (2025) and the January 2026 60%-stake exclusivity never closed, so no higher price has ever actually been paid.
