The owner of OnlyFans, a site known for its adult content that is credited with revolutionising the online porn industry, has died at the age of 43.

Leonid Radvinsky, who was born in Ukraine and grew up in Chicago, had purchased the company in 2018 from its two UK-based founders.

The site’s popularity surged during the Covid-19 pandemic, landing him on Forbes’ annual list of billionaires just three years later.

He “passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” OnlyFans confirmed in a statement, which asked for privacy for his family.

    First of all, if I did delete my comment, how would other people have content to your outrage?

    Second, Help me understand how giving an example of money buying health is bigotry, ignorance, entitlement, or arrogance.
    At no point did I disparage Magic Johnson or say anything derogatory towards people with HIV/AIDS. Maybe I picked a bad example, sure. I’m highly confident that every single millionaire and billionaire has spent more on health care than the average person.

    Honestly you are making some of my point for me. Yes, tremendous effort went into normalizing a deadly disease that was previously demonized as only afflicting “the gays” and “junkies” … By spending massive amounts of money, work that could not have happened without financial backing “everyone” up to that point didn’t see a reason to expend.

    Purely a philosophic question, Still no offense to Mr. Johnson, but would he have spent any of that time effort and money if he didn’t personally have HIV?

      As I said in my private comment to you, I am happy to educate you on the history of the contributions that Magic Johnson made. I’m happy to educate you on the history of HIV and aids because of his contribution shots. I have absolutely no interest in engaging in your arguments.

      If you’re interested in being educated, let me know.
