His most recent filings in the UK show that he bought a majority stake in OnlyFans in 2018, several years after its creation by two British businessmen, Guy and Tim Stokely. During his rule, the platform developed at a very high pace, and creators had an opportunity to make a direct income via subscribers.
Although the platform was somewhat known to do explicit content which was usually prohibited on other social media, it also evolved to have more types of creators, which included fitness trainers, musicians and chefs.
It has gained a boost of popularity in the Covid-19 pandemic, when a great number of people resorted to online platforms to earn a living. In 2024, the company had over 4.6 million creators and approximately 377 million users and made over 1.4 billion dollars in revenue. OnlyFans usually imposes a 20 per cent fee on the revenue resulting in subscriptions and the sale of content.
