LOS ANGELES—Leonid Radvinsky, the e-commerce pioneer who owned OnlyFans and founded MyFreeCams along with several other companies, has passed away in Florida at 43.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky," OnlyFans said in a statement. "Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”
Born in Ukraine and raised in Chicago, Radvinsky acquired Fenix International, the parent company of OnlyFans, in 2018. He served as a director on Fenix's board and was its majority shareholder while steering the company to new heights.
Radvinsky in 2004 launched MyFreeCams, envisioning a community that empowered cam girls to be independent, creative and innovative. He operated the site with the core principle that cam models are artists, guiding MFC’s ascent to its current status as one of the biggest live-streaming platforms in adult.
The prolific entrepreneur and philanthropist also headed a venture capital fund he founded in 2009, investing in technology companies and numerous other startups.
A first-generation immigrant from Ukraine, Radvinsky studied economics at Northwestern University, where he became class valedictorian. He also was an avid reader and chess player as well as a helicopter pilot.
This is a developing story.
