If you type “who leads OnlyFans” into a search bar, you’ll get three different names depending on which result you click.
The direct answer: Keily Blair is the current CEO, in place since 2023. She runs the day-to-day operations. But the founder is a different guy. The owner — the person who controlled the company, was a different guy, and he died in March 2026. And the previous CEO was someone else again.
Here’s who everyone is and how the roles split.
Key Takeaways
Keily Blair, a former lawyer, has been OnlyFans’ CEO since 2023. She eliminated middle management and runs the platform with just 42 full-time corporate employees.
Leonid Radvinsky bought the company in 2018 and owned it until his death from cancer in March 2026 at age 43. His widow, attorney Katie Chudnovsky, is believed to control the company now through a family trust.
OnlyFans generated $1.4 billion in company revenue in 2024 (its 20% cut), while users spent $7.2 billion on the platform. The company has 400 million users and 4 million creators.

The current leader: Keily Blair
Blair took over as CEO in 2023. Before that, she spent years as a lawyer — not a typical background for running a subscription platform that moves $7.2 billion annually.
OnlyFans has 42 full-time corporate employees. That’s it. Blair hires senior talent and junior talent, but she deliberately avoids the layer in between. In her own words, We do not have that soft, undefined layer of middle management in the middle. No middle managers, no manager track — every corporate employee is an individual contributor.
Under her leadership, the platform has 400 million users, 4 million creators, and roughly $7 billion in gross annual user spending (a figure she’s cited in interviews). She’s become a public face for the company, appearing on Masters of Scale, Web Summit in Lisbon, and the OMR Festival in Hamburg — yet the question many people are asking is who is the biggest person on OnlyFans?
That 42-person team sitting on top of a $7 billion platform is the kind of radical lean operation most CEOs talk about but don’t practice. Blair has enforced the policy since 2023.
Bottom line: 42 corporate employees run a $7 billion platform — no middle managers, no manager track, just individual contributors.
The previous leader: Amrapali Gan
Before Blair, the CEO was Amrapali Gan (also known as Ami Gan), an Indian-American businesswoman. She held the role from December 2021 to July 2023 — about 19 months.
Gan’s background is marketing, not law. She was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, grew up in Virginia, and graduated from California State University, Los Angeles. Before OnlyFans, she worked at Red Bull and Quest Nutrition, plus a stint at a cannabis cafe in West Hollywood. She was named to the TIME100 Next list in 2022.
Her tenure was dominated by one thing: the 2021 near-ban of sexually explicit content. The ban was announced in August 2021, then reversed after massive creator backlash. Founder Tim Stokely blamed pressure from banks. Gan didn’t make that initial call — she stepped into the CEO chair that December, but she made the subsequent decisions about how the platform would handle explicit content. According to the source material, she was concerned about the site exploiting women and wanted to create a safe space for creators while staying on the right side of the law.
She stepped down in July 2023, and Blair replaced her.
Founder, owner, CEO: understanding the difference
This is where most people get confused. Here’s the breakdown:
- Founder: Tim Stokely created OnlyFans in 2016. He stepped down as CEO in December 2021 and has no involvement in daily operations.
- Owner: Leonid Radvinsky bought the company in 2018 and owned it until his death. He held the equity and controlled the strategic direction through ownership.
- CEO: Keily Blair is a hired executive who runs the company day-to-day. She doesn’t own it.
The 2021 near-ban of explicit content happened under Stokely, who said banks pressured the company into the decision.
The secretive owner: Leonid Radvinsky
Radvinsky was the man who owned one of the most talked-about platforms on the internet — and he never gave a single interview. He died of cancer in March 2026 at age 43, confirmed by a company spokesperson. Forbes estimated his net worth at death at $4.7 billion.
He bought OnlyFans in 2018 and transformed it into the business it is today it is today. So, who is #1 on OnlyFans? He also paid himself $1.8 billion in dividends through early 2025, pulling roughly $1.9 million per day from the platform in 2024.
His early career tells a different story. At age 17 in 1999, he founded Cybertania Inc., which operated websites promising “hacked” passwords to porn sites — including some disturbing promises that Forbes reported factually. One of those sites, Ultra Passwords, was generating about $5,000 a day in 2002, according to a lawsuit. He later founded MyFreeCams, the adult webcam site that had more than five million customers by 2010.
Amazon and Microsoft sued him over alleged spam campaigns using their names; both cases settled out of court.
He married Katie Chudnovsky in 2008. The couple spent more than $10 million on lakefront apartments in Chicago.
The contrast is stark: the man who owned the creator-empowerment platform got rich as a teenager running legally dubious porn-password and spam businesses. That’s not a moral judgment — it’s the public record.
What’s next after the owner’s death?
Radvinsky’s death leaves OnlyFans in uncertainty. Control is believed to pass to his widow, Katie Chudnovsky, who reportedly holds a majority stake through a family trust. She’s an attorney — described how general counsel for an international privately-held technology firm, and she has four children. She’s not a public figure.
Before Radvinsky died, Forbes reported in August that he had been in talks to sell OnlyFans at an $8 billion valuation, reportedly with an investment firm. It’s not clear what happens to those talks now.
The company has already launched a separate “safe-for-work” streaming platform focused on lifestyle and fitness content — a signal it has been eyeing a wider audience since the 2021 near-ban. The strategic fork is real: double down on what made OnlyFans successful, or push further toward mainstream content. With new ownership in flux, either is possible.
Nobody outside the family trust has commented publicly since Radvinsky’s death in March 2026.
The numbers behind the leadership
There’s a lot of confusion about how much money OnlyFans actually makes. Here’s the clean version.
- Company revenue in 2024: $1.4 billion. That’s OnlyFans’ 20% cut of creator earnings.
- User spending on the platform in 2024: $7.2 billion. When Blair cites the “$7 billion” number in interviews, she’s talking about gross user spending, not company revenue.
- Scale: 400 million users, 4 million creators.
- Corporate headcount: 42 full-time employees. That’s the core team.
- Broader workforce: Forbes puts the number at 6,190. That includes contractors and content moderators — the people who do the manual review work.
The memorable takeaway: 42 core people sitting on top of a platform moving $7.2 billion a year. The company’s own description of its moderation system is “state-of-the-art technology together with human monitoring and review to prevent children under the age of 18 from sharing content.” That helps explain the larger headcount.
The executive team beyond the CEO
The executive team is so small and secretive that public biographical detail basically doesn’t exist. That’s the story.
The named executives beyond Blair: Craig Hubble (General Counsel), Lee Taylor (Chief Financial Officer), and Estebän Nietto (listed in one source as Director de ventas — sales director). No meaningful public biographies exist for any of them.
That silence is itself a data point about how OnlyFans operates: lean, closed, and very little public disclosure.
