Acquisition of a controlling stake in the platform will cost $7 billion

British billionaires David and Simon Reuben may become co-owners of OnlyFans. They are considering investing in a consortium worth $7 billion.

Both billionaires are known for their involvement in the "aluminum wars" of the 1990s in Russia. According to the Financial Times, they are currently in talks to invest in a consortium led by The Forest Road Company, which may acquire OnlyFans. The platform's owner, Leonid Radvinsky, is considering a sale while retaining a portion of the shares. He acquired 75% of OnlyFans shares from its founders in 2018.

The controlling stake, which may be acquired by the consortium, is valued at $7 billion. In addition to the Reubens, about a dozen other businessmen are considering participating in the consortium. However, the billionaires themselves have not yet made a final decision and may abandon the idea of investing.

The popularity of the service continues to grow, and it currently has over 300 million users. The platform receives 20% of user payments, which
