According to a regulatory filing on Thursday by the parent firm Fenix International, the company generated a pre-tax net profit of $525 million for the most recent fiscal year, up 21 per cent on an annual basis, reports Variety.

OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky received $338 million in dividends for the fiscal year 2022, up 19 per cent from $284 million the previous year.

According to the filing, OnlyFans had 3.18 million registered creators as of November 2022, a 47 per cent increase, while the number of users increased 27 per cent to 238.8 million.
