Meet Leo Radvinsky: OnlyFans founder who made billion-dollar fortune from adult plaform
Leo Radvinsky keeps a low profile for a billionaire at the helm of one of the internet's most lucrative and controversial platforms. His minimalist personal website paints the picture of a modest entrepreneur, angel investor, and aspiring helicopter pilot. But conspicuously absent is any reference to the true engine behind his fortune: OnlyFans, the adult-content subscription platform he transformed into a global digital empire. At the helm of OnlyFans, Leo Radvinsky has revolutionized the adult content industry while keeping a low profile. (Credit: Also Read: Zohran Mamdani mocked as video shows him 'jumping up and down' at NYC Pride March, 'That fake smile must hurt' Radvinsky is an economics graduate from Northwestern University and has successfully reshaped the landscape of online pornography, shifting it from traditional ad-supported adult content to a subscription-based model that blends social media with intimacy. Under his leadership, OnlyFans has grown into a powerhouse with over 300 million users, offering not just explicit content but the illusion of personal connection through paid subscriptions, private messages, and custom videos, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. Born in the Soviet Union, Radvinsky grew up near fellow émigré and future wife Katie Chudnovsky, attending Northwestern University just a few years apart. The 43-year-old, who has mastered the art of being unseen, was raised outside of Chicago and currently resides in Florida. Radvinsky and Chudnovsky got married in 2008 in a lavish Chicago ceremony. A lawyer by profession, Chudnovsky now serves as general counsel for an international tech firm and is a mother of four. Even as a teenager at Glenbrook South High School, Radvinsky showed a keen eye for business, launching Cybertania in 1999, which operated sites like Ultimate Passwords that claimed to provide hacked porn site passwords. Known among classmates as a sharp and sometimes rebellious teen, he built a portfolio of adult websites using celebrity names to attract visitors like Paris Hilton, Tara Reid, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Shannon Elizabeth, and Ben Affleck, which assured links to X-rated videos. His ventures expanded over the years, including launching MyFreeCams in 2004, laying the groundwork for his future dominance in online adult entertainment.

False shooting reports spark panic Leo Radvinsky's net worth According to Forbes, Radvinsky's net worth, including the value of OnlyFans, is estimated to be $4 billion. British corporate filings reveal the staggering profitability of OnlyFans, with Radvinsky, its sole owner, pocketing nearly $1.3 billion in dividends over five years through March 2024. Behind the scenes, his parent company has been quietly exploring a potential sale, reportedly seeking a valuation as high as $8 billion, according to sources familiar with the discussions.

First in Assam, transwoman marries man after a decade of struggle
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: As 'Pride Month' concludes on Monday, Taira Bhattacharjee, a transwoman from Guwahati, made history by marrying Bikramjit Sutradhar, a man from the same city. This union between two best friends, after a decade of struggle, marks Taira as the first transwoman from Assam to tie the knot with a man, signifying a significant milestone for the LGBTQ+ community. Taira and Bikramjit legally registered their marriage on May 26 at the office of the District Commissioner (DC), Kamrup (Metro). Their social marriage was held on June 2 at the Ugratara temple. Taira, originally named Biswajoy, underwent sex reassignment surgery (SRS) in 2019. "Before the surgery, I always felt like my soul was trapped inside the wrong body. Since my childhood, I was always bullied or looked down in school, college and even in university just because I could not control my feminine nature, even though I tried hard to hide my true self. The more I grew older, the more I became an introvert and under-confident. I always wanted to study well, but due to constant mental pressure, I could not focus on anything," says Taira The turning point in Taira's life came in 2006, when she met Bikramjit through a mutual friend. "One day while sitting inside my car, I told Taira that we should commit suicide since my family opposed this relationship, but then she consoled me and told me that she had finally gained her confidence to face life and she wants to undergo medical transmission, so to end our lives at this moment is not the right thing to do," Bikramjit said. The couple now actively uses social media to advocate against gender discrimination, counter social stigmas, and promote inclusivity. Filmmaker and LGBTQ+ leader Milin Dutta celebrated the occasion on his Facebook post, stating, "So happy to witness the first trans official wedding in Assam, a big milestone, congratulations to Taira and Bikramjit. Thank you for setting the path for many more to follow, for many more to hope and dream. Congratulations to the whole Queer community." It's important to note that recent legal developments in India have clarified rights for transgender individuals, including the right to self-identify their gender and marry individuals of the opposite gender, regardless of surgical intervention. The Supreme Court, during the NALSA vs Union of India (2014) case recognized transgenders as the "third gender" with fundamental rights.
