OnlyFans’ reported mean earnings estimate was nearly $1,300 per creator for the financial year ending 30 November 2023. In that same reporting period, Fenix International declared and paid $472 million in ordinary dividends, which contemporaneous reporting identified as going to the company’s owner and sole shareholder, Leonid Radvinsky. Dividing the rounded figures gives an approximate comparison of 363,000 to 1—but it compares an estimated average per creator with a shareholder distribution, not equivalent measures of personal income.
What the figures compare
| Figure | What it measures | Period and qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Nearly $1,300 per creator | Reported company-estimated mean creator earnings | Fenix International financial year ended 30 November 2023; approximate, as reported by XBIZ. |
| $472 million | Ordinary dividends declared and paid by Fenix International; reporting identified Radvinsky as recipient as sole shareholder | Financial year ended 30 November 2023; reported in the company’s 2024 accounts and Forbes coverage. |
Using $1,300 as the rounded per-creator estimate, $472 million is about 363,000 times that amount. This is a scale comparison, not a claim that a particular creator would need exactly 363,000 years to earn the dividend: the two figures describe different recipients and kinds of money.
What “average” does—and does not—tell you
The nearly $1,300 figure is a reported mean, not a median. The available figures do not establish the median creator’s earnings, a full distribution, or what a typical active creator took home. A mean alone cannot show how many creators earned more or less, nor how widely earnings varied.
Fenix’s annual report describes OnlyFans as a platform that enables creators to monetize digital content by engaging directly with fans. An account count is not an active-earner count: Business Insider coverage of the filing reported 4.1 million creator accounts for the period, but that does not mean all 4.1 million were equally active or earned the reported mean.

Why the $6.63 billion payment figure is different
OnlyFans’ gross platform payments were reported at $6.63 billion in 2023, up from $5.55 billion in 2022, according to Variety’s coverage via Yahoo Finance. Those totals are platform-wide payments, net of applicable sales taxes, refunds, and deferred income. They are neither creator net income nor company revenue, and they cannot be substituted for an average creator’s earnings.

The accounts cover the financial year ended 30 November 2023, not the calendar year. Radvinsky was the owner and sole shareholder associated with the dividend in that period. The Associated Press reported that he died in 2026; for this comparison, the dividend is a historical company distribution attributed to him as the 2023 shareholder, not a statement about his current status or his complete personal income.
