The attractive billionaire who built only on one of the most lucrative and controversial online reconciliation platforms is reported to be in talks with a buyer to sell his company for $ 8 billion – despite constant concerns about Pornographic content.
Leo Radvinsky, the sole owner of the London -based Fenix International Mother Company, was recently engaged in talks with a group of investors led by Forest Road Company, a Los Angeles -based investment firm for a possible sale.
But the status of those talks is unclear and it seems that Radvinsky has engaged another nameless entity that is considered a most promising bidder, according to Wall Street Journal.
Last month, the post reported that Radvinsky quietly decided only for sale, but that he was trying to find a buyer because of his business model.
News that Radvinsky is only purchasing in Pazar comes after it was revealed that he collected nearly $ 1.3 billion dividends between 2019 and early 2024, according to British corporate records.
However, Mogul’s ambition seems far from fulfilling. People familiar with the case told Radvinsky magazine recently engaged the bank and plaintiffs, sounding a sale of only as much as $ 8 billion.
The post has requested a comment from Radvinsky, only Forest Road.
While the only forens have become a cultural lightning rod and financial fraud, mainly its clear content and its creator-owner-owned model remains almost completely invisible.
At 43, Radvinsky has never given a public interview, rarely appears in industry events and left behind only a single image widely circulated online. Even those who have worked with him are forced by strict non -disclosure agreements.
Its official website depicts it modestly as a company builder, an angel investor and an aspiring helicopter pilot.
There is no mention of the only forens – despite the fact that the site is the main source of its estimated asset wealth of $ 4 billion.
A sale of only sales with a $ 8 billion rating will further cement Radvinsky’s place among the richest and most private entrepreneurs of private technology – and is likely to prevail his philanthropic ambitions, according to the newspaper.

Radvinsky and his wife, Katie Chudnovsky, have publicly supported causes ranging from cancer research to open source software. In a 2024 gala for a gastrointestinal research foundation led by Chudnovsky, she credited her husband’s generosity by providing a $ 23 million grant program.
“Leo is here tonight proving that science and miracles go hand in hand,” she said.
The gala video was quietly removed from YouTube after the magazine asked about it.
Born in the Soviet Union, Radvinsky emigrated to the United States as a child and grew out outside Agoikagos. Classmates from southern high school Glenbrook remember it as Whip-Smart and a little a rebellious-choosing leather jackets instead of dressing the day.
Even then, he was running businesses online, some with a noticeable adult advantage.
Inclusion data show that his mother signed documents for his first company, Cybertania, in 1999, when he was still young. Among his early ventures were websites claiming to offer hacked passwords on porn sites.
Later, he would record hundreds of domain names-many of them with X values or referring to the celebrities of the early 2000s.
In 2004, he launched Myfreecams, one of the early players in the direct space, where users paid performers for private shows. His eye for scaled models of adult technology would eventually lead him to the only -fans.
Radvinsky bought 100% of the British start in 2018 for an undiscovered amount, according to the newspaper. At that time, only the Faiths were just more than a warm site for adult content subscriptions.
Under Radvinsky, it became a global sensation-especially during the Covid-19 pandemia, when she added 300,000 users a day.
The business model was simple: Creators hold 80% of their subscribers’ income while the only people receive the rest.
“He is undoubtedly coming up with a very clear strategic vision of how trade flows about these countries work,” said Maggie MacDonald, a doctoral researcher at the University of Toronto who studies online platforms to adult, for The Journal.
“He is external of all marketing work on the first floor.”
Despite its roots of adult contents, solely have tried to re -advertise themselves as a main content platform. CEO Keily Blery, a former intimacy lawyer, has highlighted the diversity of the site – highlighting comedy, sport and music along with the clearer fees.
The price label, though high, can actually be a bargain. Only the Faiths are extremely lucrative-something that many fast-growing technology firms cannot pretend. But the very thing that makes it so profitable can be what keeps potential buyers in the breast.
Even if a sale never materializes, Radvinsky does not seem printed for money. He and Chudnovsky moved to Florida, where they now reside in a Palatial Duplex once owned by the Great Tennis Chris Evert, bought for over $ 20 million.
