OnlyFans also attracts private equity funds. Not just millions of customers.

The platform particularly known for adult entertainment has in fact decided to sell a minority stake in its capital after the death of patron Leonid Radvinsky, 43, and the San Francisco-based fund Architect Capital will take it over.

The American investor will acquire 16% of OnlyFans, for a value of $535 million, in a deal that values the site at $3.15 billion.

Thus OnlyFans enters the world of high finance. According to the agreement, announced yesterday, Architect will work with the hot platform to sdevelop new financial services and products to be offered to platform creators.

After the death of the patron OnlyFans remains in the ownership of his family.

But the sale of a share had been planned for some time.

The process was not easy: OnlyFans grinds out profit after profit, but spicy content and the juxtaposition with sex workers kept many investors away for a long time.

In fact, most funds fear a negative return on image and problems on the ESG front.

So the search for a partner was long. But it finally came to an end: now comes Architect Capital, a little-known financial reality. Now, you can bet, its fame will grow.
