Despite his famously low public profile and arms-length distance from the adult-entertainment empire he built, late OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky met a few of the creators who thrived on his platform – and even celebrated one’s birthday with her.
OnlyFans star Keep Chambers told The Post she crossed paths with Radvinsky – who died at age 43 last month after a long battle with cancer – during her birthday weekend in Miami in 2021, where she was celebrating alongside a group of fellow creators.
“We had a boat day for my birthday, where I really got to get to know [Radvinsky] and learn how smart and intellectual he was, and how kind he was,” recalled Chambers, 26.
“You just know that he wants the best for people when you speak to him. He really cares about those that he’s impacted and those that he loves…he’s just so kind and so intentional,” she gushed.
The pair’s meeting left a lasting impression – and it wasn’t a one-off.
Afterward, the Ukrainian-American businessman kept an eye on Chambers’ OnlyFans profile, occasionally offering feedback that stuck with her.
“He would point out little career things I do that even others wouldn’t notice, whether it was a caption I had on a post that would drive traffic, he’d point out how smart it was, and that meant so much coming from someone who has built such a legacy,” the LA-based creator said, adding that she was able to “learn a lot as far as, like, running a business” from Radvinsky.
“Some people who own businesses…they kind of just see people as numbers, but he didn’t see people as numbers.”
Chambers said she met up with Radvinsky “a few other times in LA” after that Miami weekend and they spoke “here and there” – their final conversation taking place a little over a year before his death.
She also revealed she was aware Radvinsky was sick before his death announcement surfaced suddenly on March 23.
A pal later revealed to The Post that the reclusive billionaire – whose life was so secretive that there’s only one public photo of him – had been dead for days before the news became public.
“Insiders knew [Radvinsky] had been dealing with health issues for some time, and while his passing is tragic, he left behind a company that was fully prepared and resilient,” Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc., which works closely with content creators from the controversial site, said at the time.
“He passed a few days before the media found out, so there was no interruption to the business,” he said.
Bachman noted the drastic contrast between Radvinsky’s personal life and the business he built: “The irony with Leo is that he built one of the most talked-about platforms on the internet, but he lived a life that was incredibly quiet and very disciplined, and rooted in faith and family,” Bachman said.
“He really stayed out of the spotlight.”
Radvinsky acquired Fenix International, the UK-based company that owns and operates OnlyFans, in 2018, and remained a director and the majority shareholder up until his death.
He transformed the porn industry by offering everyday people an entry point to the skin biz — and allowing performers to keep 80% of their earnings as they built subscription audiences.
Chambers was one of just a few protégées who got to meet their revolutionary mentor.
“I’m just really blessed having been able to get to know Leo…I wish he was here now for me to be able to show him what I’ve built off of what he’s paved the way for, because I know he’d be so proud,” she said.
“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to help my mother and my sister out with bills, finances and supporting my life,” Chambers added, echoing praise from other creators who built fortunes on the platform.
Sophie Rain — an adult star and fan favorite on the site who earned a mind-boggling $95 million between 2023 and 2025 — thanked Radvinsky for changing her life in an emotional tribute following his death.
“I don’t even know how to put this into words. That man built something that changed my entire life. Like, I grew up on food stamps and now I can take care of my whole family because of a platform he created. I will never forget that,” Rain, 21, told The Post.
“Before OnlyFans I was waitressing and barely making rent. That platform gave me everything. And that doesn’t happen without someone building it in the first place,” she said.
