Ownership + History
Founded 2016 by Tim Stokely (UK). Acquired in 2018 by Leonid Radvinsky (Fenix International Limited). Hit mass-market awareness during 2020 with celebrity launches (Bella Thorne, Cardi B). 2021 attempted policy change banning explicit content, reversed within 6 days due to creator backlash.
How Earnings Work
Creators set subscription price ($4.99-$49.99/mo), can run free trials, sell PPV (any price up to $200), accept tips ($1-$200), and offer custom content. OnlyFans takes 20% flat commission on all earnings. Payouts weekly via bank transfer or e-wallets.
Rules + Compliance
Creators must be 18+, identity-verified (passport/ID + selfie), accept platform Terms of Service. Platform bans: minors, non-consensual content, hate speech, animals, violence. Strict 2257 documentation for explicit content.
Country Availability + Restrictions
Available globally except Russia, Belarus, China, North Korea, India (recent restrictions). Some country-specific regulations: UK age verification (2025+), EU DSA reporting, US state-level adult-content laws.
Earnings Distribution (Honest Numbers)
Median creator: $145/mo. Top 10%: $5,000+/mo. Top 1%: $30,000+/mo. Top 0.1%: $100,000+/mo. The viral $43M Bella Thorne first-day stories are 1-in-millions outliers, not typical.
