Key Facts
Yekaterina Chudnovsky, 42, now owns at least 75% of shares and voting rights to OnlyFans’ parent company Fenix, as well as the right to appoint and remove a majority of Fenix’s board, according to the filing.
A Northwestern undergrad and DePaul law graduate, Chudnovsky has spent her career outside the OnlyFans operation, though a source close to the couple previously told Forbes she was Radvinsky’s “de facto business partner.”
She is a corporate lawyer at a privately held tech firm, sits on the boards of Elicio Therapeutics and Immix Biopharma and serves as an adviser to the Rare Cancer Research Foundation, according to her bios on those organizations’ websites.
She and Radvinsky, who died in March from terminal cancer at age 43, married in 2008 and have four children together.
OnlyFans, the social site popular with online creators, especially adult entertainers, made around $1.5 billion in revenue and generated over $700 million in profit last year.
Forbes Valuation
Forbes estimated Radvinsky’s fortune to be worth $4.7 billion at the time of his death, primarily from his stake in Fenix International. Radvinsky bought a 75% stake in Fenix from founder Tim Stokely and his father Guy Stokely in 2018 for a reported $30 million.
Key Background
When Radvinsky bought Fenix, he pivoted the company hard into adult content, and the bet paid off during the pandemic, when sex workers, adult performers and a wave of mainstream creators flocked to the site for direct-to-fan monetization. OnlyFans booked $7.2 billion in gross transactions in 2024 and now hosts 4.6 million creator accounts. The platform takes a 20% cut of creator earnings. Profits from OnlyFans have flowed almost entirely to Radvinsky in the form of dividends, totaling close to $1.8 billion over four years. The company has also faced persistent regulatory pressure, including U.K. age-verification rules and reported scrutiny from U.S. banks, which filed Suspicious Activity Reports tied to OnlyFans and Radvinsky’s earlier cam site MyFreeCams totaling more than $1 billion in flagged transactions going back to 2009.
