Born in Odesa, Ukraine, to a Jewish family, Radvinsky moved to Chicago as a child and graduated from Northwestern University with an economics degree in 2002.
He entered the adult digital space young, building Cybertania a porn referral network at age 17 and founded MyFreeCams in 2004.
In 2018 he bought a 75% stake in Fenix International (OnlyFans’ parent) from founders Tim and Guy Stokely, then quietly scaled the platform into a subscription juggernaut.
Forbes listed his net worth at $4.7 billion at death. He lived reclusively in Florida, married since 2008 to lawyer Katie Chudnovsky, and quietly supported philanthropy (cancer research, Ukraine aid, animal welfare) while aspiring to sign the Giving Pledge. The Giving Pledge is a promise by the world’s wealthiest philanthropists to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes in their lifetime or wills.
