Founded in , OnlyFans has surged in popularity, attracting celebrity names such as Blac Chyna , Bella Thorne , and Cardi B, who make millions from monthly subscribers. Many OnlyFans 'creators' post hardcore pornography, although most established stars who join the platform upload far less risque content.
According to Influencer Marketing Hub , these A-listers rake in millions of dollars a month, with Blac Chyna topping the list of the site's biggest earners. OnlyFans takes a 20 percent cut of the monthly fees from users, with the rest going to the content creators themselves.
While the pandemic shuttered many traditional porn studios, self-generated content on OnlyFans surged, and the company has seen explosive growth. Radivinsky is currently the sole owner of OnlyFans holding company Fenix International Ltd, according to Bloomberg , which first reported the company's annual results. According to the new annual report, in last year's period, OnlyFans more than doubled the number of subscribers and boosted the number of creators by more than a third.
The site's owner, Radvinsky, is a veteran of the porno industry but maintains a low public profile, living quietly in a gated mansion in Florida. The site has been credited with revolutionizing the adult industry, but some performers have claimed they feel pimped by the service, and it has also faced criticism for not doing enough to prevent under-age users selling explicit content.
In response, the firm told the BBC it was continually improving its approach to safety and content moderation. American rapper Tyga is also among the top earners on OnlyFans, according to an estimate from Influencer Intelligence. OnlyFans has traditionally been used by porn stars and sex workers to sell explicit content to paying users.
