The owner of OnlyFans took home a hefty paycheck last year.
Radvinsky’s nine-figure bonus equates to roughly $1.3 million for each of the 260 working days in 2022. Those payments were supplementary to his salary, which was not listed in the filings.
The Northwestern University alum, 41, purchased OnlyFans from the site’s founders, father and son Guy and Tim Stokely, according toBBC.
With his 2022 windfall, Radvinsky’s personal net worth is now estimated at $2.1 billion, according toForbes.
OnlyFans launched in 2016, and while it wasn’t specifically built to share NSFW content, due to the limited restrictions on what content can be posted, it quickly became a hub for adult content, including porn.
A growing number ofcelebrities have since joined, oftentimes tapping into their existing fanbases to pull in big earnings. From former Housewives includingDorinda MedleyandSonja Morgan, toShanna MoaklerandJordyn Woods, stars from across industries have dabbled on the adult-only site.

Among the platform’s top performers areBlac Chynaand Bella Thorne, who boast 12 million and 1.1 million subscribers, respectively, according to theNew York Post.
Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, toldTamron Hallin March thatshe’s no longer using OnlyFans, despite her lucrative three-year run on the platform.
She explained that she’s been scaling back on things “I didn’t want to do anymore,” OnlyFans included.
“I just never was vocal about it,” she said of certain commitments, including the platform, that she has been “quietly pulling out” of lately.
At the time of her joining OnlyFans, her lawyer said in a statement to PEOPLE that she “receives no child support from eitherRob KardashianorTygafor her two beautiful children,Dream KardashianandKing Cairo Stevenson,” and that the site was an opportunity to “connect more directly and creatively with her fans.”

Thorne, meanwhile, has made her own splash on the site. The actress earned an impressive $1 million in just 24 hours after joining OnlyFans — and $2 million after two weeks — but her sizable earnings ended up causing some backlash. She was accused of disrupting a market in which everyday, non-celebrity content creators are trying to eke out a living
The site has since capped the tips that viewers can send creators, and imposed limits on what creators can charge on pay-per-view posts, leaving many creators frustrated.
Thorne apologized in a series ofpostson X (formerly known as Twitter), and said she was trying to use her platform to help “others and advocate for something bigger.”
